The DC knives are being sharpened for Alberto Gonzales's political scalp. Josh Marshall:

With the rapid pace of events, I suspect it's only a matter of time before the pressure starts to build for Alberto Gonzales's resignation. But this isn't about Alberto Gonzales. This isn't a guy with his own political strategy, his own list of political chits to arrange or grand strategies to advance. He's George W. Bush's consigliere. He gets done what the president wants done...

Consigliere? I don't think so. Capo maybe, button man more likely. But he is Bush's man, in a way Rumsfeld never was (he was Cheney's guy), and Bush won't give up on him easily. If he goes down, it will be because it was necessary to save Rove, or Bush himself.
