Gonzales gave his long awaited testimony before congress yesterday. From left to right, few pundits think Gonzales gave any reasons for why he should keep his job.

The New York Times watched the testimony of Alberto Gonzales yesterday and didn’t think he could have done a better job making a case for his firing.

The LA Times believes that Gonzales’ testimony might help us understand the tangle web he weaved, but it won’t repair his reputation.

Joe Conason argues that the firing of Gonzales is not enough. The Justice Department must be brought to justice and the appointment of a special prosecutor is the only way to do that.

Dahlia Lithwick thinks that for all of the burden on Gonzales, Gonzales’ own concern is only for the president at whose pleasure he serves.

Byron York was hoping that Gonzales would be able to defend himself and answer the lingering questions over the U.S. Attorney firings. He was disappointed.

Rick Perlstein says that of all the lies Gonzales has told, the worst is his claim that “he’s an incometent buffoon.”

Hugh Hewitt likes the steadfastness of the Bush administration, but he thinks that when it comes to Gonzales, Bush shouldn’t “waste precious political capital trying to save Gonzo’s hide.”
