Gonzo's replacement...? Why, Patrick Fitzgerald, of COURSE...!

look at this list of LOSERS...!

Republican officials operating at the behest of the White House have begun seeking a possible successor to Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, whose support among GOP lawmakers on Capitol Hill has collapsed, according to party sources familiar with the discussions.

Among the names floated Monday by administration officials are Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff and White House anti-terrorism coordinator Frances Townsend. Former Deputy Attorney General Larry Thompson is a White House prospect. So is former solicitor general Theodore B. Olson, but sources were unsure if he would want the job.

Republican sources also disclosed that it is now a virtual certainty that Deputy Attorney General Paul J. McNulty, whose incomplete and inaccurate congressional testimony about the prosecutors helped precipitate the crisis, will also resign shortly. Officials were debating whether Gonzales and McNulty should depart at the same time or whether McNulty should go a day or two after Gonzales.

puh-l-e-e-e-e-eze... Chertoff...? Townsend...? we don't need more litmus-tested bush toadies...

the other day, i noted this post from jeralyn...

CBS legal analyst and author of the Washington Post's Bench Conference blog makes the case today for replacing Attorney General Alberto Gonzales with Patrick Fitzgerald.

if bush wants anyone to believe that he's serious about the integrity of the justice department, the attorney general, and the us attorneys, he couldn't do better than patrick fitzgerald... ah, well... we know he isn't serious...
