E-Mails Show Rove *Gasp* Involved in Administration

In the non-issue e-mailgate, every new tidbit sends the lefties into a fury (see here, here, and here for starters).

Today's bit is that Karl Rove may have been the one to suggest firing the U.S. attorneys.

The argument is running that this is about the administration lying about the firings. Certainly, the administration has done a very poor job of handling this situation. Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez should never have testified to Congress in the first place about a matter that falls under executive power. This has just gone from bad to worse as Democrats try to find some evil reason for the firings (besides incompetence and an unwillingness to advance administration positions on the part of the attorneys).

We now have the spectre of Republicans calling for Gonzalez's resignation. But we know from past experience that if Gonzalez resigns, Dems will just set their sights on someone else (Kark Rove?).

If anything should have been learned from the Clinton administration, it is that determination not to resign will outlast any indignation (righteous or otherwise) from one's opposition. Clinton refused to resign regardless of the pressure on him. This administration would do well to tell Congress their time would be better spent trying for a fifth time to get an anti-war resolution passed than pursuing Gonzalez.
