Poll question: Poll: Who is out of their job first, Abu Gonzales, or Warmonger Wolfowitz?
Close to a coin-flip for me - what do you think?


Background:

Warmonger:

LONDON (Reuters) - A group of top former World Bank executives has urged Paul Wolfowitz to resign, as the bank's watchdog warned his actions were undermining the ability of the institution to carry out development work.

The 42 senior executives wrote a letter to the Financial Times, published on Monday, advising Wolfowitz to give up the presidency for the good of the bank following a controversy over the promotion of his girlfriend.

"We believe that he can no longer be an effective leader," said the letter, which was signed by former World Bank No. 2 under Wolfowitz Shengman Zhang, amongst others.


Abu Gonzales:

If Attorney General Alberto Gonzales had gone to the Senate yesterday to convince the world that he ought to be fired, it’s hard to imagine how he could have done a better job, short of simply admitting the obvious: that the firing of eight United States attorneys was a partisan purge.

Mr. Gonzales came across as a dull-witted apparatchik incapable of running one of the most important departments in the executive branch.

1. I don't think either one will be leaving soon but if I had to pick.....
I would say Wolfowitz.

Gonzo is going nowere. Way to dangerous for Bush to have a real AG.

3. If there is a change it will be a recess appointment.
He knows he will never get another puppet like Gonzo past confirmation.

5. When's the next Congressional "vacation"? They have such
weird schedules, I never know when they're going to be off! They just had a long vacation at Easter/Passover so maybe they won't have any lengthy time off for at least a while!
