GO NYT!

I've said it before, altho I may have used the words "hanged", 'horsewhipped", or "gangraped", and today, the venerable NY Times agrees with me: Alberto Gonzales should be impeached. Then, he should be tried, convicted, and jailed. Okay, the Times didn't say that (it would be impolite!), but he SHOULD!

We opposed Mr. Gonzales’s nomination as attorney general. His résumé was weak, centered around producing legal briefs for Mr. Bush that assured him that the law said what he wanted it to say. More than anyone in the administration, except perhaps Vice President Dick Cheney, Mr. Gonzales symbolizes Mr. Bush’s disdain for the separation of powers, civil liberties and the rule of law.

On Thursday, Senator Arlen Specter, the senior Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, hinted very obliquely that perhaps Mr. Gonzales’s time was up. We’re not going to be oblique. Mr. Bush should dismiss Mr. Gonzales and finally appoint an attorney general who will use the job to enforce the law and defend the Constitution.
