Watching CSPAN today and the testimony of Alberto Gonzales before the Senate Judiciary Committee was like watching a past-his-prime prize fighter get pummeled in the ring. Sometimes they have the stamana to keep standing but they don’t have the sense to just fall down.
Gonzales is being beat up by Republicans and Democrats alike. Neither side seems to believe him and Republican Senator Tom Coburn of Oklahoma even called for him to resign. Gonzo just won’t give up. Some might find that heroic, but in reality it’s just pathetic. He has no credibility left and yet he refuses to resign from an office where credibility is key.
Whatever happens as a result of these hearings, it is painfully obvious that Gonzales has no friends left in the Senate. More importantly, these hearings give a good idea of just how popular the entire Bush administration is becoming in Congress. When will Bush realize he has become a liability to the Republican party and a disaster for the country.
