Why Gonzo finally quit.

From Thinkprogress:

Newsweek reports that although a former colleague urged outgoing Attorney General Alberto Gonzales to quit months ago, he hung on “believing the president wanted him to stay.” But the turning point came when an internal review by chief of staff Josh Bolten “concluded that Gonzales was so politically weak he had become an obstacle to Bush’s agenda, especially on the passage of an updated Foreign Intelligence Surveillance law.” No word on whether Bush asked for a raise of hands.

In plain English, Poppy Bush told his clown son to cut loose the dead weight AG. And Josh Bolten's internal review of Gonzo tells it all. Bolten said and used the same negativeness about Andrew Card before Card bailed out. Typical corporate cut throat 101: How to cut loose dead weight. It wasn't the moron President who wanted Gonzo gone. It was Papa Bush to protect the Bush legacy.
