Daily Kos has great commentary this morning on Alberto Gonzales and his part in covering up Bush's DUI. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee blog quotes the Washington Post and offers commentary on a sleight-of-hand going on in the House, "House Republicans plan to change their rules in order to allow members indicted by state prosecutors to remain in a leadership post, a move designed to benefit Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-Tex.) in case he is charged by a Texas grand jury that has indicted three of his political associates, GOP leaders said today....Changing the rule is not a sign that lawmakers think DeLay will be indicted, [Eric I. Cantor (R-Va.), the GOP's chief deputy whip] said, but rather a public rebuke of an investigation they feel is wholly unwarranted." Meanwhile, the Daily Howler provides invaluable background on Condi Rice.
