A saddened and disappointed Senator Leahy tells AG Gonzales that he has, for the first time in his long career, lost trust in a cabinet member.

I think that impeachment is the only route left to Congress, the criminal administration continues to show nothing but contempt for the American people.

1. Gonzo's got to be feeling the love...

RESIGN...RESIGN!

Disappointed doesn't even begin to scratch the surface of it, though.

2. What A Slug on Salt.....

....Gonzo Boy and the administration he is a part of..

3. Very sad. How did we get to this point?

4. Leahy sounds like he knows the jig is up

and when two branches of government have become thoroughly corrupt and the third weakened by the same corruption, there is little he can do.

This summation was depressing.

6. And the ass just sat there with his who-gives-a-shit attitude

He, after all is above the law.

7. He looked more like a reprimanded child to me

I have often been both amazed and appalled by Gonzo's lack of emotion. His face always looked like a mask, features set in stone, but today he appeared like a kid being dressed down by his father. No one can do this better than Patrick Leahy. I've watched him in hearings before and that sweet grandfatherly face accompanied with direct and no nonsense questions is priceless. I'd love to see GW in that chair, stuttering and blinking, while Leahy calmly set him straight - something Bush Sr. should have done years ago!
