The Washington Post is so enamored of the idea of getting Attorney General Al Gonzales to resign for firing a few U.S. Attorneys that it's even seeping into the Sports section. In their attempted-humor column called "Starting Lineup," Dan Steinberg and Desmond Bieler mock underperforming Washington Redskins cornerback Adam Archuleta this way:
"Let's get this straight, a prominent Washington organization wants to shed one of its troublemaking employees because of performance-related issues? Um, paging Alberto Gonzales."

March 19, 2007 - 07:16 ET by Senior ChiefThe one and only reason why the leftoids media- including the democracks, are doing this is to humiliate the Bush administration. Let's cut the fog, the chase, the smoke, and get to the point. Have VP Cheney in front of cameras and volunteer to go to Congress and answer these "allegations". He can very well articulate, and without submitting to political correctness, the president's positions and save everybody's time. We are losing the battle because the leftoids think we are cowards and corrupt. This is what Rush is alluding to, that "We are not doing enough"...VP Cheney has nothing to lose, but the admiration of all conservatives. Tony Snow, Karl Rove can sit tight for now until the smoke is cleared.

I can't understand why the administration just allows itself to be kicked around. They remind me of the school-kid who keeps getting "Kick Me" signs taped to his back.

March 19, 2007 - 07:55 ET by dervishAw, come on, now.... It wasn't all that funny a joke, but am I the only one who sees that they're calling Gonzales to fire Archuleta the way he is alleged to have fired the attorneys? I didn't see that as a call for Gonzales himself to resign. (Granted, I didn't read the whole article.)
There's enough genuine outrage in the WaPo; no need to be thin-skinned about lame jokes.

March 20, 2007 - 06:58 ET by WhichWingIndeed, the two of you have left me proud. Current events are often mentioned in somewhat humorous sports articles such as this one.
