...Washington Investigating Gonzales A special prosecutor has been appointed to probe charges that former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and his staff improperly fired nine U.S. Attorneys in 2006. Gonzales, a close ally of President Bush's, resigned last year over the firings, which opponents said had been politically motivated. A Justice Department report cited an uncooperative White House for the gaps in its investigation--which the special prosecutor should fill. Gonzales and others could face criminal charges...

...disgust for it. So great was the outrage that Chet Edwards - whom Speaker Nancy Pelosi once touted for Obama's Vice President - may be dogged by his yes vote on the campaign trail. Edwards, a popular Democratic incumbent in President George W. Bush's home district, was one of nine Representatives out of Texas' 32-person delegation to vote for the bill. (Even four of the five Texas Republicans whom Bush called personally voted against it.) Meanwhile, Democrat Lloyd Doggett, from the Austin area, has found himself in the unusual position of being hailed by liberals and conservatives alike...
