I did not mean to imply that Gonzales is (yet) isolated from the Administration. He is not getting stunning support. But we have no reason to believe he is being cut off (coyote style?)

Gonzales is a rather interesting case. Gonzales is one of George Jr's friends from TX. Like Harriet Miers and Karen Hughes, George Jr's routine is to protect his friends. But if Cheney has had enough of Gonzales, then Gonzales will declare himself tired or leaving for personal reasons - suddenly. Being a close friend of George Jr did little for Hughes or Miers. George Jr does not make such decisions. When the real president decides Gonzales is a liability, then Gonzales will get cut off immediately like breast cancer - as quickly as Paul O'Neill was removed from Sec of Treasury.
