Watch Cafferty Video: Will Gonzales survive?Click here to go behind the scenes with Jack Cafferty.Do you think Alberto Gonzales will survive as Attorney General?Mr. Gonzales will survive. At some point Mr. Bush has to recover some of the power he lost and he'll likely take the stand here with Gonzales.
Pat, Johnstown, Pennsylvania
The short and sweet answer is that no, he will not survive, nor should he. He has played politics with the Justice Department for too long and now must face the music. We need our government back, from Congress to the White House and everything in between.
Dick, Tifton, GeorgiaIf he does, it will only be one more of the incredible blunders this administration has made. Does this mean that we got the government we deserved? What does that say about us? God help us.
Ron, Oceanside, CaliforniaEither Gonzales or the U.S. Constitution will survive, but not both. I'm praying for the Constitution, but since everything else good in this country is being gutted by this administration, my money's on Gonzales' survival.
Kay, OregonI don't think Bush will be able to dance around this one. Personally, I would like to see everyone in this administration who is from Texas step down now. There seems to be an alternative reality there that is destroying our country.
Corrine, Stockton, ConnecticutShould Democrats include funding for spinach growers, shrimp fishermen and peanut storage in the Iraq war funding bill?As a Democrat, I am ashamed of what is happening with this bill. No, pork should not be attached to the bill. I truly hoped the election in November would bring us better government, but this approach is just plain wrong.
VernonPeanuts and fishermen aside, healthcare for children and money for Gulf Coast recovery from hurricane Katrina are not pork.
Darryl, Orlando, FloridaAbsolutely not. While Gulf Coast victims deserve aid, it should be presented separately, not with Iraq war funding. More backward Washington thinking. Come on, we deserve better from our elected officials.
Natalie, Waverly, New YorkAbsolutely not! The lawmakers should feel good about voting for this bill just on its merits... we need to get out of Iraq. They shouldn't vote for this bill so their constituents vote for them in the next election because the local shrimp fishermen got a subsidy, but rather because we need to get our troops out of harm's way.
Mike, MassachusettsWhy is the rate of functional illiteracy so much higher in Washington than elsewhere in the country?
If members serving in Congress and the Senate don't bother reading the laws they're voting for, reading in general can't be all that important can it?
AdamAfter spending nearly 20 years in D.C. and experiencing first-hand how Congress treats the District and its residents (like second-class citizens), I am not in the least surprised that there is such a high rate of functional illiteracy.
Laura, Silverdale, WashingtonI'm surprised that you'd be surprised that illiteracy is higher in D.C., especially if you've listened even once to the responses of the bunch running the White House.
