http://thinkprogress.org/2007/04/21/limbaugh-gonzo-idiot/Limbaugh: Conservatives Should ‘Circle The Wagons’ Around ‘Idiot,’ ‘Weak Attorney General’
On his radio show Friday, Rush Limbaugh encouraged conservatives to “circle the wagons” around Alberto Gonzales, recycling his argument that winning elections is more important than governing. Here was Rush’s amusing defense of Gonzales:
Everybody on the Republican side now, along with the Democrats, wants to throw Alberto Gonzales overboard.
He may be an idiot, I don’t know. He may be a weak attorney general. … It seems, every time there’s a public demand for somebody to resign in Washington, it’s always a Republican! (Duh! What does that tell ya, Limpballs? :rofl: )

While Rush may be willing to disregard incompetence, other conservatives are not. Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK) and Rep. Adam Putnam (R-FL) have called for Gonzales’ resignation. Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) put out a statement saying Gonzales “should have a frank discussion with the White House. If he and the president decide that he cannot be an effective leader…then he should resign.”
Even White House insiders acknowledge that Gonzales “hurt himself during testimony.” “Everyone’s putting their best public face on,” one source said, “but everyone is discouraged. Everyone is disappointed.”

RUSH: I have to tell you something, folks. I’m embarrassed, once again, by our side, some of the Republicans up in Washington. It just appears that they cannot think strategically. They have no idea how to circle the wagons around their own. Everybody on the Republican side now, along with the Democrats, wants to throw Alberto Gonzales overboard. He may be an idiot, I don’t know. He may be a weak attorney general. I think that’s why they — You know, Ashcroft was strong and Bush had to get rid of him, and now Gonzales is weak. We have to get rid of him! All this concocted stuff over the US attorneys? There’s no crime. There really isn’t even any incompetence here in the process of getting rid of the attorneys. What this is about is that Gonzales may have not remembered what happened when or where. But whatever the status of Gonzales, it’s beside the point. Why in the world is it only…? It seems, every time there’s a public demand for somebody to resign in Washington, it’s always a Republican!
