From the buzz I’m hearing today, if Alberto Gonzales were a stock, we’d be at that point when those automatic trading halts kicked in because so many people are trying to sell. But let’s not get distracted by Alberto Gonzales. He’s just a cog.

Mr. Gonzales is a secondary issue. The real players are in the White House.
