Gonzo wants to avoid "an historical black mark"

hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha... < cough, snort, sputter > hahahahahahahahaha...

think progress offers this from today's face the nation program on cbs...

SCHIEFFER: Do you, in fact, think Republicans, a sizable number, will join with Democrats on that? And what do you think the impact is going to be on the Attorney General?

SPECTER: Well, I think so. You already have six Republicans calling for his resignation. I have a sense, Bob, that before the vote is taken that Attorney General Gonzales may step down.

SCHIEFFER: Really?

SPECTER: Well, it is a very forceful, historical statement. Votes of no confidence are very rare. More than a century ago one was leveled against a sitting president. I think historically that is something which Attorney General Gonzales would like to avoid. The most important thing, though, is the inability of the department now to function. I was about to say that U.S. Attorneys met in San Antonio this past week and there was a lot of criticism and a lot of dissension. That department is very, very important, functioning for the welfare of our country. […]

SCHIEFFER: What leads you, senator, to the conclusion that he will probably step down before such a vote is taken?

SPECTER: Because of the likelihood, a very substantial vote of no confidence. I think that if and when he sees that coming, that he would prefer to avoid that kind of an historical black mark.

if gonzo was so friggin' concerned about avoiding "an historical black mark," he would not have been such a willing toady to the white house... no matter what happens, he is going to have to live with the permanent stains of leading his country down an unconstitutional and illegal path in clear violation of his oath of office... he screwed himself a very long time ago, probably starting with his first meeting with george bush which was no doubt immediately followed by selling his soul to the devil karl rove...
