Satan's Sunday Flame:  Hagel, Graham, Specter

Satan just shakes his head every time he hears the names Hagel, Graham, and Specter mentioned.  Obviously, they don't understand how to play the political game against the Democrats.  Maybe Satan can help them here:  If the Democrats want, it is probably a bad thing.  And consistently falling over each other to oppose your President every time he needs your support on an important issue is simply embarrassing.

So we get the point that you aren't conservatives.  That's bad enough, but do you have to do the Democrat's bidding?  Apparently so, as Hagel, Specter, and Graham are working to undermine Bush on the firing of U.S. Attorneys (which of course, is a power of the President). 

So Satan salutes these three sellouts:

Key Senate Republicans on Sunday urged President George W. Bush to compromise with Congress over White House aides' testimony as support for U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales eroded further.

Sen. Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania, the top Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, said Gonzales would have to step down if he did not tell the truth when he told Congress that he was not involved in discussions about a group of fired U.S. prosecutors at the center of the Washington controversy.

"We have to have an attorney general who is candid, truthful and if we find that he has not been candid and truthful, that's a very compelling reason for him not to stay on," Specter said on NBC's "Meet the Press."

Documents released late on Friday showed that Gonzales attended a meeting last November where the imminent carrying out of a plan to fire federal prosecutors was discussed.

Sen. Chuck Hagel, a Nebraska Republican and possible presidential candidate, told ABC's "This Week" that Gonzales lost credibility and Bush should "fix the problem" and avoid a court fight with Congress.

"I think the president makes a big mistake if he tries to make this a constitutional issue and make it a separation of powers issues," Hagel said.

Specter also suggested Bush compromise over the issue of Karl Rove, Bush's chief political strategist, and other aides providing testimony to Congress.
