Embattled Attorney General Alberto Gonzales said Wednesday it's up to President Bush whether he remains in the administration and said he wants to stay and explain to Congress the circumstances surrounding the firings of eight U.S. attorneys.
Amid an escalating political row and calls from some Democrats for his resignation, Gonzales said, "I work for the American people and serve at the pleasure of the president."
"I think you can look at the record of the department in terms of what we've done ... going after child predators, public corruption cases," he said on NBC's "Today" show. "I think our record is outstanding."
Critics charge that the prosecutors were ousted because of political considerations.
Gonzales acknowledged, as he had on Tuesday, that mistakes were made in the handling of the U.S. attorney firings and said he wanted to remain in the job to make things right with Congress.

And then he can explain the violations of the patriot act by the FBI and then he can explain why torturing prisoners is a good idea and then he can explain why the heck he is the supreme law enforcement officer of the nation.

He's just another one of the many maggots doing whatever they are told to do for this corrupt and immoral administration.

If he is, it will be another gutless decision from the president. This president has given up. I wouldn't work for him. All the Democrats have to do is say, "Boo'", and this administration runs. This is sad to watch.
