Alberto Gonzales may only have one supporter in Washington, but it's an important "one." Here's President Bush, speaking today from the Bush Ranch in Crawford, Texas:

[Alberto Gonzales] has got my confidence. He has done nothing wrong. There's been enormous amount of attention on him — that there's been no wrongdoing on his part. He has testified in front of Congress. And I, frankly, view what's taking place in Washington today as pure political theater. And it is this kind of political theater that has caused the American people to lose confidence in how Washington operates.

I stand by Al Gonzales and I would hope that people would be more sober in how they address these important issues. And they ought to get the job done of passing legislation, as opposed to figuring out how to be actors on the political theater stage.

  I hope my fellow VC bloggers and commenters will agree to start being more sober in how we address these important issues. You too, Stuart Taylor.
