Gonzales faces new firestorm in Congress

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Embattled U.S. Attorney General
Alberto Gonzales faced a new firestorm on Tuesday sparked
by a report he may have misled lawmakers in 2005 about civil
liberty violations by the FBI.

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy, a Vermont
Democrat, responded by promising that Gonzales would face
tough questions about this and other matters at a hearing
planned by his panel later this month.

And Rep. Jerrold Nadler, a New York Democrat who chairs a
House Judiciary subcommittee, renewed calls for Gonzales to
resign and called for the appointment of a special prosecutor
to determine if he had misled Congress, "a serious crime."

But President George W. Bush brushed off the flap about his
longtime friend, who earlier served as White House counsel.

1. Glad To See But Who Here Really Cares About Gonzo?

I mean we all know that he is an absolute zero with out Repuke support. And I suspect he knows it too (not all that stupid after all) which is exactly why I don't think he will ever turn (unless of course, we threaten to use his own approved torture methods against him, in which case he will sing like a baby.

2. Bush to Murica: You guys can't handle the truth, therefore, I will

keep Gonzon on board. He is the perfect message carrier.

3. At what point

do we realize that these sphincters are getting NOTHING done in their posts, since they are spending all of their time either backpedaling, conferring with their own attorneys, or shoring up each others' fragile excuses? This is the USA--shit's gotta get done! We need to send these turds down a watery spiral and get back to business!
