GONE-ZALES

The White House is floating AG replacements for Gitmo Gonzales.
Document dump...lots of fingers in the judicial pie.


Bush reaffirms strong backing to Gonzales
Chimpy sent out Dana Perino to say he'd been on the phone with Gonzo. "The president reaffirmed his strong backing and support of the attorney general," Perino said. Just like his undying support of Rummy. Harriet. All his henchthugs. Until Rove decides what's politically expedient.

TPM Muckraker
Schumer said that the resignation of Alberto Gonzales' chief of staff Kyle Sampson "does not take heat off the attorney general. In fact, it raises the temperature. Kyle Sampson will not become the next Scooter Libby, the next fall guy."

Bush is keepin' bizzy...visitin' cars.
It's haaaard work.


Bush Visit to Ford, GM Plants May Smooth Tensions
Bush spent most of his time touring assembly lines. At GM, Bush got a look at the Saturn Aura sedan; at Ford, it was the hybrid version of the Escape. Over the sounds of engines and body frames moving along the production floor, Bush got briefings on the technology.

Smooth tensions? Hey, howzabout those tensions in Iraq? Got time for that?
