About That Political Capital, Mr. President

Couldn't we spend it some other way? Getting in a fist-fight trying to make Alberto Gonzales your new AG seems like a waste of power.

The guy has a rap sheet a mile long among leftists and the Demos are still exceedingly good at the old Senate ream-a-roo. Maybe you think you can bind Hispanics to the GOP with the move, but Condi and Colin did not exactly act as vote magnets among African-Americans.

Just promise that long about April, you'll pull the plug if Alberto is still flailing, k?
