Gonzalez - Idiot or Genius?

Despite the fact that the case involving Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez is almost as over-reported as the Anna Nicole saga (okay maybe not, but still), I find it has interesting parallels with some of the past (and more entertaining) political scandals. The first one that comes to mind the Libby trial - you know, the one where Rove should have been on the stand but Libby got nailed. So now Rove's ass is on the line again and yet all anyone can seem to talk about is Gonzalez
and his shockingly stupid decision to admit he made a mistake. He should have learned from Bush - if you never apologize you never admit to making a mistake, and thus you are never wrong.

Case in point: Iraq. If only Gonzalez had 20,000 troops to force into 15-month tours. That might be enough to get him out of what looks to be a career-ending case of partisan politics.
