The one awkward (for me) moment during the Rush remarks was when he said some of us conservatives had been around the Beltway too long – those of us calling for Al Gonzales’s resignation. While I totally agree this is a non-scandal, the awful way it’s been handled – by an AG who has not distinguished himself anyway – is cause for new blood, someone who can take command of this mess. Fair or unfair.

Reasonable people can disagree and will. Mark Levin right here on our site, for instance.

But I am stuck on resignation – and I don’t think because I want to be invited to swanky Georgetown parties. As I was walking out to head to the dinner, I noticed Jeff Sessions on the TV at the Sampson hearings. He was disappointed in Gonzales, for the discrepancies between what Sampson said his involvement in the attorneys’ firings was and what Sampson said. Well, if you’ve lost Jeff Sessions, you’ve got to do something big to fix things.
