Two more GOP officials call for frog march for Gonzo

Here is the second person:

USA Today: “For the Justice Department to be effective before the U.S. Senate, it would be helpful” if Gonzales resigned, Sen. Gordon Smith (R-OR) said. “Meanwhile, GOP Sen. Norm Coleman of Minnesota said he is ‘deeply concerned about how this whole process has been handled.’” Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., said he was ‘withholding judgment’ on Gonzales’ tenure, but characterized the attorney general’s explanations for the firings as ‘unacceptable’ and ‘mystifying.’”

And here is the third person:

CBS:
More Republicans called for his ouster, and one Republican strategist close to the White House told CBS News that Gonzales is “finished.”
Congressman Dana Rohrbacher became the latest Republican to say Gonzales should go, reports CBS News White House correspondent Jim Axelrod. “Even for Republicans this is a warning sign … saying there needs to be a change,” said Rohrbacher. “Maybe the president should have an attorney general who is less a personal friend and more professional in his approach.”

Republicans will pick Rove to save and let Gonzales go. Connie better be watching as she might be next. Rove will be saved by Bush.
