The congressional freak show exploiting Attorney General Alberto Gonzales is little more than the latest pathetic round of persecution politics aimed at President Bush and his administration. The Democrat and Republican struggle for power in Washington, and throughout the several states, is an unconscionable waste of political capital at the people's expense.

Indeed, nothing could be a more vivid example of inept government than our elected representatives throwing selfish interest political rocks at each other in this unique time of war, amid growing terrorism and high risk national security. Politics in the United States is turning our democratic republic into an over regulated wasteland of petty politics in a dangerous landscape of politically correct mine fields.
