Quin, why are we naming Gonzales successors so soon? Eager to surrender?

Philip, thanks for that link reminding us that Tom DeLay thought the federal budget was lean. That was all I could think of during Limbaugh's interview with him last Friday. And it reminded me of George Allen saying that the budget was "very tight and taut." The merits of DeLay's alleged martyrdom and Allen's loss aside, they are bland conservatives -- those who espouse conservatism but fail to see it through. Such comments create the impression that these guys care more about their power than their principles. So when the attacks come, very few of the rank-and-file are left to defend them.
