Sen. Norm Coleman, R-Minn., expressed doubt about an upcoming no confidence vote in Attorney General Alberto Gonzales.
In an interview with Hearst Newspapers, Coleman, who has called on Gonzales to resign, said, “I have reservations about playing a political game and being part of a Democratic campaign commercial.”
The no confidence vote is being spearheaded by Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., who says that because of Gonzales, “The rule of law has been trampled, confidence in the Department of Justice has been shattered, and leadership is virtually nonexistent.”
Despite Coleman’s questions about the resolution, it would seem to be one he would agree with, if not support. Coleman has previously said flatly, “I don’t have confidence in Gonzales.”

The Colemeleon It would be just like the Colemeleon to express his outrage at something, and then vote the party line in spite of it. What a worthless senator. He cares more about the Republican party than he does the voters of MN that put him there. Hopefully he’ll be gone in 2008.

No Surprise This is one of those “sun rises in the east this morning” stories. Senator Coleman appears to take a stance contrary to the official position of the White House, but finds reasons not to put his name to a vote backing that stance up. So what else is new?
I used to feel insulted at this kind of posturing, with its implicit assumption that I (and other voters) would be fooled. Now, it’s gone on for so long, I don’t even notice that it happens anymore (kind of like finding out that Jerry Springer’s show is still on).
