Justice Department Scandal Widens

So it looks like the White House urged Alberto Gonzales to fire several attorneys on political grounds. Not that this should come as a surprise, but considering that the administration first claimed that was not the case, this is more newsworthy. Gonzales now is taking responsibility for the firings yet he has refused to resign, as did his assistant Kyle Sampson.

Responsibility to these guys means saying yes we did it now let’s have a lengthy investigation until the public forgets. That is the problem. America has a collective attention span of about 30 minutes and because of that the Bush administration has been getting away with murder. People forget Bush has lied dozens of times in everything from press conferences to State of the Union speeches. Somebody has to wake America up and remind them that we have criminals at the helm of the Ship of State.
