Live Blog: Bush Presser on Gonzales Resignation

This is going to be a short and sweet diary.  Much like Gonzo's press conference.  I will add links if they become available.                                                                            

Some recent diary entries are speculating that bush will announce Gonzo's replacement.  We shall see.

C-Span will carry it Live at 11:50.

Some recent diary entries are speculating that bush will announce Gonzo's replacement.  We shall see.

Diaries indicate the press conference starts at 11:30. Cedwyn tells me noon.

Updated at 1:54 Changed title from Gonzo to Gonzales resignation.  Thanks, inclusiveheart!

  •  Paul Clement as AG until nominee confirmed..

    by cakestick on Mon Aug 27, 2007 at 08:51:06 AM PDT

    •  "until a new one is confirmed"

      an optimistic sign...

      by madgranny on Mon Aug 27, 2007 at 09:16:44 AM PDT

    •  Who is this Paul Clement dude?

      I assume that Paul Clement, as Solicitor General, was pretty solicitous to the whims of the President.  Is he just a Bush crony, who will end up being "acting AG" for the remainder of Bush's term?

  •  "It's sad..

    ..when we live in a day where an .. honorable man is impeded from doing good work .. because his name was dragged through the mud."

    Okay...

    by cakestick on Mon Aug 27, 2007 at 08:51:47 AM PDT

  •  very rough transcript:

    Alberto Gonzales is a man of integrity, decency and principle.  ... as AG and before that, WH Counsel, he provided a critical role in shaping policy in the WOT and he worked tirelessly... the patriot act & (?)bear his imprint.  He made enforcement of civil rights laws a priority, civil corruption, gang violence. (He had influence in picking Roberts and Alito for SC.)  Did an outstanding job as WH counsel.  AG's tenure as WH Counsel is part of a long history of distinguished public service.  USAF.  (W tells us AG's bio).  this trusted adviser became a close friend; it required sacrifice (from AG's family, and thanks them for their sacrifice)

    (he received) Unfair treatment ... I accept his decision.

    Its sad that we live in a time when a talented person is impeded from doing good work; his name was dragged through the mud for political reason.

    Paul Clement will act as (interim AG), he agreed to do so.  he has reputation for excellence and fairness.

    •  and there he goes

      it's funny...we're sitting here wtaching and totally predicted his entire commentary...LOL

      by Cedwyn on Mon Aug 27, 2007 at 09:00:58 AM PDT

    •  Unfair treatment, pshah!

      Like Scooter Libby's unfair treatment by a grand jury, Patrick Fitzgerald, judge and jury and just about anyone with two brain cells.

      If only Bush could get hexed like Jim Carrey in Liar, Liar and only tell the truth.

      It's too damn easy for him to lie at every opportunity.

      by Dem In VA on Mon Aug 27, 2007 at 09:05:34 AM PDT

      •  WE CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!

        The gummint, you see, has lots more facts about EYe-rack et al. than they're letting on...because it would frighten the Murkin Pipple to know just how close the Terror Guys are to our shores. You think Ma and Pa Amurrika would be able to function if they knew that beheading squads are lurking in the Piggly Wiggly parking lot?

        by Champurrado on Mon Aug 27, 2007 at 10:17:39 AM PDT

    •  Just take everything Bush said

      and turn it around - then he's correct. Not a man of principal and integrity. Civil rights - Ha! 'Sacrifice from his family - the family of Bush's good friend - and Bush had to read the names of Gonzo's children. Political yes - but Gonzo was the one politicizing everything.
      He was right about the Patriot Act and the MCA and I hope the smell of that shit they perpetrated on this country follows him throughout history.

  from the politico discussing contenders

  fran townsend
  tom ridge
  chertoff
  hatch

  paul clement is acting AG now, who can act for X number of days until there is a nominee, so shrubya's relatively safe for the interim...

  by Cedwyn on Mon Aug 27, 2007 at 08:44:48 AM PDT

  •  I've remember

    from a couple weeks or so ago, it mentioned that Hatch really, really wants the job.

    (for whatever reason, I have no idea)

    He would have to give up his seat of course.

    by ZappoDave on Mon Aug 27, 2007 at 08:46:43 AM PDT

    •  Orrin Hatch...

      ...is teetering on the brink of senility, which makes him the perfect nominee for Bush.  He can be called to testify and honestly say he doesn't remember anything.

      by The Termite on Mon Aug 27, 2007 at 08:48:19 AM PDT

      •  Orifice Hatch pegs out my outrage meter...

        whenever he opens his mouth.  He is worse (if it is possible) than Gonzo.

        by kharma on Mon Aug 27, 2007 at 09:26:22 AM PDT

        •  W'horin' Hatch

          would be a fitting replacement, in BushWorld. Incompetent, senile, and loyal to his master.

    •  yeah, but isn't Utah's gov a GOoPer?

      he'd just appoint another R to fill the seat.  it does have the potential advantage of producing essentially an open-seat race.

      wow...caller now saying he's a repub and won't vote that way for a while...decries the neocons and torture.  can't believe any of the crew is still working...gonzoz:  couldn't find a better yes man.  he is so happy to hear this!

      LOL

      by Cedwyn on Mon Aug 27, 2007 at 08:49:16 AM PDT

      •  You can safely bet the farm

        That if Hatch were made the new AG, a Rethug would replace him in UT, the only state in the union where GWB's approval is above 50% (barely)!

        by roger in DE on Mon Aug 27, 2007 at 09:06:02 AM PDT

    •  Hatch Could Help Mitt

      If he is AG, he could do a little missionary work in the U.S. attorney offices for fellow Mormon Romney.  Moroni works in wondrous ways.

    clement is in the clear for 200 days...so maybe that's their best bet?

  •  Months ago, when we first started

    the resignation watch, those names that came up - except for Chertoff. The other name I remember from that time was George Allen.

  that due to his desire for poetic justice, David Igelsias will be the new AG.

    ...Julio Iglesias.

    •  No, his son, Enrique

      Oh, wait a minute....he can't sing.

        Abramoff was singing. Has he taken a frog in the throat?

        by emmasnacker on Mon Aug 27, 2007 at 09:33:14 AM PDT

  •  I was having that same fantasy ...

    especially when I heard Iglesias interviewed, saying

    The Attorney General's prime loyalty must be to the Constitution and the Rule of Law, NOT to the President.

    And since Iglesias is a self-described "Conservative Evangelical", in theory he ought to be acceptable to their "base".

  I can tell by the way he walked to the podium.  Gawd I truly cannot even bare to look at him or hear his voice.

  by Scout Finch on Mon Aug 27, 2007 at 08:48:14 AM PDT

  •  equally as short

    and just as insubstantive...

    it's kind of a ad hoc stop between fund-raising runs.

    by Cedwyn on Mon Aug 27, 2007 at 08:50:27 AM PDT

    •  Let me sum up Bush's statement on Gonzo:

      "It's hard work.  And those meanie Democrats prevented him from doing his job....which is protecting me and my cronies."

      by Scout Finch on Mon Aug 27, 2007 at 08:54:30 AM PDT

•  I wonder which Bush we'll get this morning?

  Angry Bush? -- Leaning sideways on the podium, snarling. Thumping the mic.

  Medicated Bush? -- Mouth dry, blandly reading of an index card. Mumbling ... deviod of emotion

  Stupid Bush -- No description needed, we knows him when we sees him.

            by Dem In VA on Mon Aug 27, 2007 at 09:09:07 AM PDT

            •  What do you want?

              Good grammar? Or good taste? lol

              Of course he has neither.

              I thought he would be putting on the thicker "Texas" accent since he's in Crawford. He might not have had time to put on his cowboy boots to get in the role.

              by ZappoDave on Mon Aug 27, 2007 at 09:24:36 AM PDT

            •  Correction ...

              he actually did say "dragged".

              by ZappoDave on Mon Aug 27, 2007 at 11:17:56 AM PDT

      •  Mud Dragging???

        Isn't mud dragging Rove's bread and butter?

        Goes around, comes around.
        Those who play with matches and get burned.
        Amazing for Bush to be whining about people being impeded "for a political reason".

        by crystal eyes on Mon Aug 27, 2007 at 09:59:41 AM PDT

      •  Royally ticked off

        Or pretending to be?  If he supposedly has known about this since Friday (and we all know gonzo did NOT make this decision all on his own and that bush has known about it all along), you would think he has had time to work this through and deal with whatever frustration it engendered.  This is pure posturing.  Yet another opportunity to bash the Dems, but you gotta make it look authentic (hee, hee, hee).

    •  Since when does legal background matter?

      Didn't you watch Monica Goodling and Alberto Gonzolez at all. All that is required is kowtowing to the GOP party and a desire to get Democrats oh and it also helps if you have a memory like a sieve. It makes it all the more believable when testifying "I don't recall" before Congress.

      As reported in the Seattle Times, the one there has a set of protest rallies waiting on him.  Also he will be  landing at Sea Tac about 3:30 and will block rush hour traffic to Bellevue (set to speak at fund raiser about 4:30 or so).

        by Robespierrette on Mon Aug 27, 2007 at 10:19:38 AM PDT

  •  That's IT!

    Basically, Bush looked he got hit by a bus - unhappy, in pain and still in shock.

    Total speculation:

    Gonzales' resignation was arranged by a group(shadow government?) and then they presented it to Bush as a kind of intervention.  "Gonzales has got to go.  We know you are very close to him, but it's the best thing for the sake of the Republican party."  Bush looks around at the expectant faces, makes protests, asks questions that are answered the same way "No.  We are sorry, but there is no alternative.".  He asks for time, has a couple private meetings and then finally concedes.

    •  If you are right

      which I hope you are would mean at least the powers behind the powers that be are starting feel pretty threatened. Maybe. I've be waiting for the power play for months.

      by BehereBenow on Mon Aug 27, 2007 at 09:02:05 AM PDT

      •  Bush was certainly mad at someone

        This was most certainly NOT his idea.  Which means it was someone else's.  Gotta wonder if it was Gonzales' idea and the smirking was all show and he was quaking in his boots the entire time.  (I don't think so.  Gonzales had everything to lose and nothing to gain from resigning.)

        or perhaps....?
        There was another threatened mass resignation at the DOJ?  There was supposed to be a huge morale problem at the DOJ.  

        by Fabian on Mon Aug 27, 2007 at 09:07:46 AM PDT

        •  My guess

          Rove (who still runs the show) decided it was time to dump him before Congress came back.

          It eliminates a distraction that makes/made W look still more feckless in advance of the Iraq funding fight that will be at the center of the table in a week or two.

          And that's been the issue that they cannot bear to lose.  

          They want, more than anything else, to dump Iraq onto W's successor.  

          They DO NOT want to be the Administration that had to slink out of Iraq.

          by gsbadj on Mon Aug 27, 2007 at 09:15:51 AM PDT

          •  GOP distress behind it?

            Anyone else think that the motive or at least a reason for the timing has everything to do with keeping GOP congresscritters in line for the upcoming fights over Iraq? This may be the price the WH has to pay -- giving those heading into an election some relief -- to keep the bloc solid.

            by naknak on Mon Aug 27, 2007 at 09:19:24 AM PDT

            •  That's a good point.

              If you look at the reasons to KEEP Gonzales versus getting rid of him, I can only find two reasons to keep him

              to continue stonewalling Congress
              because he's Dubya's Best Buddy

              Outside of that, everyone else wants him gone.

            •  I think we're getting close, but

              for the Congress people the War is too big.  They can't get around that by pushing out Gonzo.  

              Gonzo was a symbol for the mendacity of the overall Administration, so he was hurtful.  I lean more to the possiblity that Rove's leaving and other major losses within the Justice Dept. finally left Gonzo without enough support within the Jiustice Dept.  There may have been an uprising of the indians and the USA's that finally drove him out.

              Also, it may have been a deal with the interim since he was in a position of power over naming a possible special prosecuter. Could he have said.  You know, I think I deserve to be AG and I have serious concerns about whether I can resist the call for a special prosecuter?  Just trying to make some sense.  I do think it was foisted upon Bush and Gonzo.

          •  One of the smarter moves made

            by this administration.

            In a long, long time.  Still, it's dangerous to remove the Stonewaller Supreme with so much time to go.

            Time to LEAN on our Congress to get some answers!

        •  Cheney threatened to lock the play pen...

          ...unless lil' george did as he was told...

          •  It's interesting that both of Bush's closest

            Advisors and friends are gone in short order.  That is, if anyone could trust Rove enough to be his friend.  Has Bush been completely neutered?  If so, why?  It could herald either a hard right turn by the Neocons and Fundies in the Adm. or it could be Gates and Condi asserting themselves.  If either one of them goes, watch out.

            The central issue right now is the War and the decisions that have to be made there.  Where is Cheney in all of this?  Was he in Crawford?  If not, who was?  Something is afoot and it appears that Bush has been put in a position to not screw it up by having anyone around him to support him.

            My guess is that we will either see a significant withdrawal announced from Iraq  or we will see the rhetoric ramp up on Iran.  And actually it could be both.

            •  I was going to say...

              I wonder if Iran isn't the central issue right now...

              Do we still have multiple carrier groups in the persian gulf?

    •  I wouldn't be surprised if his resignation

      was part of the FISA deal.

      •  Which would make double sense

        in light of the "no recess appointment" deal...

        •  Tho, truth be told, Gonzo

          was a good campaign issue.

          by madgranny on Mon Aug 27, 2007 at 09:32:21 AM PDT

•  this just in: we're traitors for doubting Gonzo.

  It was all politics.  We drug him through the mud.

  I feel like a traitor for ever doubting W.
