1. they will be hearing more lies from Gonzo

they should just dismiss him, he is destroying the DOJ.

[MiniMe]

3. True, but they sent him a list of some of the questions in advance

And told him that it was so they didn't get the "I don't recall" answers. That should make it interesting

[malaise]

2. I'll be watching n/t

[Eurobabe]

4. More lies on tap? Frankly I am getting sick of this

they need to just DO SOMETHING. Make him Gone-zo.

5. ...............

6. Giving the repukes ANY kind of time is tantamount to CYA

Cover Your Ass, which is exactly what Gonzo will do. As soon as they (the repukes) had a hint of him being called back to testify, their sleazy, conniving, slimeball brains were thinking of how to bend the rules so that Gonzo doesn't have to answer honestly.

LIES, LIES AND MORE LIES. That's all these people know.

7. The Honorable Alberto Gonzales

Honorable? That's a bit of a stretch.

[bdamomma]

14. the honorable?? boy that is sad isn't it?

they don't know the meaning of the word.

[WinkyDink]

8. I'll be there, though I loathe his oleaginous voice.

9. Had to look it up but I guessed what it meant pretty well. That's EXACTLY

what he sounds like.

10. K&R

11. From TPM Muckraker:

"This time around, in addition to the usual battery of questions about the firings, he'll have to respond to Monica Goodling's revelation that Gonzales talked to her about her recollection of the firing process shortly after Congress launched its investigation. The Justice Department's internal probe of the firings has expanded to include whether Gonzales might have been improperly trying to shape Goodling's future testimony. He's also sure to get questions about why he falsely testified to Congress that he didn't know of any counterterrorism abuses by the FBI.

Beyond that, you can be sure he'll come armed with the usual I-think-I-may-be-aware-of-thats."

12. Is Gonzo expected to show? These are Senate hearings, so there's less at stake

for him than the House.

13. kick
