GALBRAITH/ESROSE FACTORS
J. Kenneth Galbraith, the wit, statesman and economist, developed the theory that says, in part, that four statements of "I will not resign" by any public figure means that he will.
By my count Gonzo is up to three.
Today's call from the President, wherein bushie stated his support, complicates the calculation.
I have a parallel theory.
The esrose formulation is that four public statements of support by the president to his troubled henchmen means that they will be replaced within the week.
Rumsfeld is a prime example as is the scandal-ubiquitous Harriet Miers.
I read that they are already trying to find a replacement from a very thin field of volunteers.
This lack of prospects for the job might, indeed, be just what Alberto needs to save his sorry ass.
