Impeach Alberto Gonzales? Stranger things have happened

(snip)

...Republicans in the House continue to amp up their rhetoric in protesting the FBI's search of Jefferson's House office.

At his "Restless Justice" hearing Tuesday, Republican Rep. James Sensenbrenner said he'll demand that Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and FBI Director Robert Mueller testify before his House Judiciary Committee to explain their roles in the "profoundly disturbing" search of Jefferson's office. Sensenbrenner even went so far as to toss around the I-word -- at least where Gonzales is concerned -- with his Republican colleague Darrell Issa. As Dana Milbank tells it, Issa said: "We have the power to impeach the attorney general" but then added that the committee -- short on members because of the Memorial Day break – couldn't do so because it was " a couple of shakes short of a quorum for that purpose." Sensenbrenner's response: "Not yet."

It would be a good start.

1. Darryl Issa mentioned impeaching the Attorney General yesterday.

Would be grand, won't it?!

3. Do you think that whomever Bush would nominate to replace him

would be better?

[Tiggeroshii]

5. No.

But it would certainly b ring the spotlight onto a mess of problesm for the administration which can filter into problems for te Republicans on election day.

2. Gonzales

The American Public should be so lucky

4. Issa must have a thing about throwing people out

He didn't manage to get his ass installed to replace Gray Davis when he started the recall
effort, so now maybe he wants to try a cabinet official. This time it's fine with me, but
I don't see it, even with a nasty blowhard like Sensenbrenner at his side. Cheney will call
Hastert, and Hastert will put a lid on it, assuming he ever had any real intent of doing
anything in the first place.

6. probably test some GOP focus groups to see how it plays with "the base"

could be a way to distance themselves from Dumbya and look like there's some oversight

7. All right, I gotta ask.

What in hell's bells is really going on here?

Exactly what shot was fired over congress' bow with this search?

What are these guys hiding?

'cause if this is really about protecting the constitution, I'm a monkey's uncle.
