Inquisitor General Gonzalez on Lehrer right now

[Gabi Hayes]

interviewed by Bush handmaiden Lehrer himself

softball questions by Lehrer, as usual

will he ask him about the 720 minute gap?

will he ask ANY followup questions?

don't hold breath

1. But will he go on Randi or Mike? Doubtful.

2. You have his title wrong.

His official title is Inquisitor General Gonzalez.

4. good point....will change now

5. someone called him "Abu Gonzalez" yesterday . . .

[Gabi Hayes]

3. he's asking him about Card right now

says nothing new....it's been out for years

sound familiar?

JL: why the twelve hour lag?

AG: repeats that he's talked about it before, including weekend, and refuses to answer, after claiming he's fully cooperated

JL: are you confident that what you did that night was the proper thing to do?

AG: of course I am....no evidence that anything wrong happened, etc

JL: does it concern you that, after all this time that there's only one person punished over this....Judy Miller

he dropped the 720 minute gap thing after the four sentence exchange

what a surprise

7. Truly S O F T ball. Soft, fuzzy, nothing like a dandelion puff, but

possibly with a devastating result - devastating for all of them - the team of country destroyers.

6. Sam Seder is blowing hole in the attorney/client privilege BS now

citing CASE LAW regarding 8th circuit decision, applauded by Orrin Hatch, which directly contradicts the defense by Gonzalez, using exec privilege, INCLUDING solicitor general

of COURSE, Jim Lehrer failed to mention this to Gonzalez

is ANYbody surprised at this total abnegation of journalistic competence?

or is there something more going on here?

care to guess?
