Anyone watching the Gonzales hearing?
This guy hasn't answered a question yet. He also suffers from amnesia, which alone should disqualify him to serve as AG.

2. I watch it all the time
Either he is totally incompetent or he is lying. Too bad that he will be our next AG.

5. The hearing is a rubber stamp.
Why did they waste the money to heat the room to hold this crap?

6. Kennedy is sticking it to him, and doing his best to get him to
answer the questions.

I just got home from work, so I have no idea what's been going on previously.

7. Kennedy is interrogating him!
And he is stuttering and claims he needs to review the memo in question. Sure inspires confidence!

11. Why, of course not.
Why would such a fine, upstanding human being need prepped?

15. I seriously want to know why the hearings are rushed?
If they can't seriously question the witness why bother?

17. "Learned from his mistakes?" Obvious follow-up question:
