1. Whooo Hoooo! K and R

[Dollface]

2. About F***g time!

[PurpleChez]

11. Oh, ditto!

[bjobotts]

23. It's been a long time coming...but not really

Ignoring all those death row appeals in Texas, the president even mocking and making fun of some of them, we should be able to confiscate his assets and give them to the poor. He stays in office to keep investigations away from the WH for as long as possible because with a different AG there might be "real" investigations of Bush/Cheney/Rove/Miers...the RNC... And the WH can't chance that. Gonzales has lied so much he is now lying about lying and so up pops the perjury card. Finally, it's goodbye Gonzales, it hasn't been nice knowing ya'

[PurpleChez]

26. At the present folks are rightly focused on things like Iraq, domestic syping,

BIG issues. But I like to think that, over time, things like Ook Ook making fun of condemned prisoners will become more a part of the big picture of *, that the whole anti-intellectualism-in-the-name-of-Jesus thing will be presented with a big "WTF?", that the gross hypocrisy of Bushie and his supporters (re: Clinton et al.) will be more widely discussed, that the media's complicity will become a major point of the discussion.

3. Terrific - Gonzales is deplorable.

[progressoid]

4. Outfvckingstanding!

[Enrique]

5. those images of Gonzales

the guy has hack written all over him. Everyone knows some putz like that. It's hard to take that he's our AG.

[lumpy]

6. The proof is there that Gonzales has lied.

Sock it to him.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

21. under oath

[TheBaldyMan]

7. Gonzales should show some class for once, he should resign immediately.

[The Wizard]

8. matching bracelets

to go with his new orange suit. The new Washington fashion plate, Alberto Gonzalez.

[roveyourboat]

9. I don't believe my eyes...

are the Democrats actually... (gulp)
taking action...?


Will the cubs win the world series?
Is the apocalypse coming?

seriously... GO GET HIM!!!

[L. Coyote]

10. And who will appoint the Special Council. Is the SG recused?

Note the SG, as Acting AG, advised Bush to not respond to the subpoenas. MORE:

[liberal N proud]

12. Question, has Gonzo ever reused himself from anything?

Since his mission is to aid the regime in their efforts to destroy democracy, there would be nothing he would consider too close to him or the regime that he would see necessary to recuse himself from the case.

This case he dose not have a choice, Congress controls it now.

[sbyte]

13. Good thing this isn't Japan,

Where Disgrassed officials may submint themselves to acts of violance.

Come on Gonzo, You've said enough, The door is open, Please be a man and go. (git')
How can you sleep. How can the president or the repubs support you.
You've run the race, and lost. Go home, learn to farm. bye...
Wie'll see you in court.

[Tab]

16. "Good thing"?

or "too bad"?

[Laurab]

14. K & R n/t

[ProudDad]

15. I've always enjoyed Shumer's gift for understatement

This should be fun... :rofl:

[19jet54]

17. Ronald Reagan Movie

"Bad-time for Gonzo"!

[Tab]

18. Technical question

Exactly what is the solicitor general (I take it this means "prosecutor general") and why doesn't (s)he fall under the control of Gonzales? Is (s)he allowed to make decisions to investigate separate from the influence of the AG? I thought the AG ran the whole dept.

:wtf:

[proReality]

20. This might help

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solicitor_General_of_the_United_States

[Tab]

27. Well, that answers half the question

And interestingly enough, raises the observation that the AG doesn't even need a law degree (WTF?).

Still, it's unclear whether the SG answers to the AG or operates independently.

[AndreaCG]

28. Neither do the Supreme Court justices!

[niceypoo]

19. Alberto Gonzales is a half witted, incompetent, boob

I find it incredulous that an attorney is this inept under sworn testimony. His incompetence is simply breath taking.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

22. he's just covering the corruption of his cheney, rove etc

they think that they are invincible

[Billysundae]

24. Meanwhile CNN has hour-long

panel discussion wednesday night about Lindsey Lohan's arrest.

That's how we got into this mess to begin with, The MSM isn't interested in real news.

[Billysundae]

25. AND MICHAEL MOORE IS SUBPOENAED BY BUSH ADMINISTRATION

In the light of all the stuff that hit the fan today , this is just surreal....

[AndreaCG]

29. I wish Moore wouldn't repeat the canard

That all the Guantanamo detainees are Al Quada. Probably about 10% of them are really terrorists, and fewer are specifically Al Quada.

Of course thanks to Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib, there are a lot more terrorists in Iraq than before the war.

[MiserableFailure]

30. Good on Schumer

I have qualms with his support of gun control but I loved watching him go after Gonzalez on C-Span.
