I'm with Chuck

By Michael J.W. Stickings

It's time for Gonzo to go: "Attorney General Gonzales is a nice man. But he either doesn't accept or doesn't understand that he is no longer just the president's lawyer, but has a higher obligation to the rule of law and the Constitution, even when the president should not want it to be so. And so this department has been so political that I think for the sake of the nation, Attorney General Gonzales should step down."

Nice? Whatever.

The point is that federal prosecutors have been fired and that the FBI "broke the law in order to conduct secret surveillance on Americans," as Libby put it the other day. And so much else besides -- see this NYT editorial for an overview of Gonzo's many transgressions while in office.

(Although, as Christy reminds us, it's important to look at who really calls the shots in the White House.)
