On NPR and in other media today, Sen. Leahy said the probe into the Justice department and the firing of federal prosecutors will not end with Gonzales' departure.

1. Whoa.

Leahy just slammed Chertoff. When asked what advice he'd give bush about Chertoff, he said, "Is that the person that handled Katrina?", and then went on to say what a lousy job Chertoff's done at Homeland Security.
