| President George W Bush called an expected Senate vote of no confidence in Attorney General Alberto Gonzales ''pure political theater'' and stood by his embattled friend.
''He has done nothing wrong,'' Bush said during a news conference at his ranch.
The president rapped Senate Democrats preparing a no-confidence vote on the embattled attorney general by week's end and urged them to get back to legislative business.
''I frankly view what's taking place in Washington today as pure political theater,'' Bush said, sounding exasperated with the furor swirling around his longtime friend.
''I stand by Al Gonzales and I would hope that people would be more sober in how they address these important issues.''
Bush did not answer a question about whether he intends to keep Gonzales, the top US law enforcement official, in office through the end of his presidency in early 2009.
Meanwhile, Democrats were leading the way toward a no confidence vote on Gonzales, possibly at week's end.
