Spanish-language papers want Gonzales to resign.

[cal04]

Opinión in Los Angeles and the Chicago weekly La Raza argue in a common editorial that Alberto Gonzales should resign. ‘The firing of the U.S. attorneys is sufficient cause for doubting his capacity for distinguishing his loyalty to President George W. Bush from his duty to citizens,’ the editorial says. Another Spanish-language column in the Chicago paper Hoy:

Gonzales’ ascent was “a double triumph,” Muñoz wrote: “Not only was he was the first Latino attorney general, but he was the first Latino to occupy one of the four most important seats in the presidential cabinet.”

But with many in Congress calling for his resignation as a result of the U.S. attorney firings, the columnist added, “Latino leadership needs to join” in that demand. “Gonzales not only has let down the community — he’s let down the nation,” Muñoz…wrote.

2. I'm glad to hear that. I don't mean to sound racist or biased, but

I've had way too many arguments with my Hispanic co-workers about them overlookingalmost anything because "it's a brother"! I had that conversation with a friend who returned from jury duty andsince the trial was over, we were talking about the experience. The man on trial was accuse of assaulting and shooting a store clerk during a robery. I asked how the jury voted. He said "we had to let him go man...he was a brother!" Sorry, but I can't forget that story.

I'm glad to hear the Spanish-language newspapers are being honest. Gonzo just isn't doing his job!

3. This is an important development, I think

because it defuses a potential "race card" being played by the Bush Administration--that the Dems only want him out because of his ethnicity.
