I am not sure how many of you are listening to the Gonzales hearings, but you can pick them up, live and streaming, from WNYC-AM. Basically, as summarized in the below cited transcript, Gonzales is in trouble, and will either have to admit he is lying under oath or that he is an absentee/incompetent leader .. either situation is sufficient for removal from office -- unless of course, you are a Bush supporter.
Seriously, why wouldn't the Congress judge Gonzales by the same standards that he applied to the eight US Attorneys whom he fired? Gonzo says he "made mistakes", but seriously, there should be consequences for his mistakes since they affect the public's perception of the integrity and competence of his office -- and especially the lack thereof. If Gonzo had any personal and professional integrity at all, he would resign -- immediately.
SEN. SPECTER: Okay. Now, we've got to evaluate -- and this is a final statement before I yield -- as to whether the limited number of circumstances that I recited -- and it's only a limited number; there are many, many more -- whether you are being candid in saying that you were involved only to a limited -- you only had a, quote, "limited involvement in the process," as to being candid and also as to having sound judgment, if you consider that limited.
And as we recite these, we have to evaluate whether you are really being forthright and saying that you, quote, "should have been more precise," closed quote, when the reality is that your characterization of your participation is just total -- significantly, if not totally, at variance with the facts.
