Trouble for Gonzales

When even erstwhile allies like Byron York evenhandedly pan the Attorney General's performance, there's obviously trouble.

Perhaps it's time for the AG to think about how much longer he wants to drag out what seems to be increasingly inevitable -- not because of what happened to the US attorneys, but for the obvious incompetence in handling it. Paying a bigger price for "procedural" mistakes than for "substantive" ones is the oldest Washington story in the world, and it looks like it may happen again.
