House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi urged Gonzales to step down one day after President George W. Bush's longtime aide was grilled by a key Senate panel over his role in the firing of the US attorneys.

"By his actions and with his testimony yesterday, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales has lost the trust of the American people," Pelosi said.

"The nation cannot have a chief law enforcement officer whose candor and judgment are in serious question," the Democratic leader said in a statement.

"The president should restore credibility to the office of the attorney general. Alberto Gonzales must resign," the California lawmaker said<snip>

2. But he doesn't feel like it.
And I am inclined to believe there should be a punishment for that. If he were really running a business, we could change the locks while he was gone and have him escorted out of the building.

Or just pelt him with rotten fruit wherever he shows up.

3. Keep the pressure on, Nancy! And put impeachment back on the table.
Followed by indictment and imprisonment.
