�Open warfare� at the Justice Department.The New York Daily News reports:

Rep. Pete Hoekstra (R-Mich.), ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee, said Gonzales is �badly weakened� from bungling the firings of eight federal prosecutors. �The explanation has been absolutely abysmal,� Hoekstra told C-SPAN�s �Washington Journal.� �

Hoekstra spoke out as Gonzales� closest advisers turned on one another� �It�s unreal - it�s open warfare over there,� a former Justice official with close ties to Gonzales� team told the Daily News. �

Deputy Attorney General Paul McNulty, who privately blames Goodling for misleading him on the matter, may also be jockeying to take over if Gonzales resigns, sources said.

The Bushies* blame McNulty for "going off the reservation" and admitting the truth... No way he's gonna move up...
