The Gonzales Vote

The 60 votes needed to move the no-confidence measure forward just weren't there (thanks in large part to Republican Senators who lack cajones), but I applaud the Democratic leadership for putting the resolution against the Attorney General out there. They didn't get exactly what they wanted, but they made a rather strong statement none the less.

(Side note to Senators Biden, Dodd, and Obama: I know you guys are running for president but it seems to me you need to figure out a way to keep your asses focused on your current jobs as United States Senators. Even though your votes wouldn't have made the 60 that were required, your voices were needed yesterday.)
