According to Holtzman, Bush is keeping Gonzales to cover his ass

go-l-l-lee, who woulda thunk it...?
Former Democratic Rep. Elizabeth Holtzman, who sat on the House Judiciary Committee that investigated Nixon prior to his resignation, says President Bush may be sticking with embattled Attorney General Alberto Gonzales to avoid a confirmation hearing for his replacement.

well, duh...

but, wait, there's more...

Holtzman said the Senate could use confirmation hearings to investigate whether administration officials miscarried justice in firing US Attorneys on what Democrats say was largely political ground. Those hearings would serve the same role as the Watergate-era special prosecutor's investigation, Holtzman says, adding that the Senate "also might use the opportunity to probe the Justice Department's role in mistreatment of detainees, four years of flouting the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and other serious matters."

a-HA...! i've been saying all along that gonzo is part of george's firewall and have speculated repeatedly that, if he were removed, a large chunk of that firewall would be gone, leading to god-knows-how-many new revelations... looks like george is indeed feeling a draft blowing up his dress...
