Comments on: Gonzales: Deputy Advised Attorney Firings

Attorney General Says Paul McNulty "Signed Off On The Names"

NOW GONZO REMEMBERS?

I hope the appropriate suspect points the appropriate finger at Bu$h...

Today the world is rid of one of the most vile and evil predators of the 20th century. Jerry Falwell preyed on the poor and undereducated. I will never forget the ads he produced at the end of the century. "For a gift of only $40 we will send you this valuable phamplet entitled 'How you can survive the carnage of Y2K,"

Good riddance to a cancer upon humanity, and may you rot in hell!

I always thought Pat Robertson's "Prayer Pancakes" was the biggest scam of the televangelists, but he and Falwell were always neck and neck when it came to ways to fleece the flock of idiots that followed them! LOL

BTW, CBS does have a Falwell story with a comment box on the US section now.

Wow, that was the fastest memory recovery I've ever heard of! After all those 'don't recall's, suddenly Gonzales remembers????

Maybe he should see what else he could remember if he himself resigned!

I personally hope the Dems continue this silly parade. The American people couldn't care less about nine attorneys that lost their jobs (most people would probably agree that the less lawyers we have in this country, the better), and this has cost tons of money and gone absolutely nowhere. No crimes, nothing. Sort of like the Clinton impeachment. And we all know what happened in the following election...

Keep on, Dems!

I hope they continue this "silly parade" too! After all the longer this clown is in the public eye the longer this scandal gets dragged out and the more obvious the incompetence and the corruption of the Bush administration becomes. If the Bushies had any brains at all they'd fire Gonzales, nominate a new AG and move toward getting this mess off the front page. Luckily for us democrats they ain't that smart. lol!

Convenient that McNulty offered his head, and Gonzales conveniently seized it... "look... I didn't do it, er I mean, I don't remember doing it... I was told I was there when it happened, I mean I take full responsibility... I mean... Paul did it, yeah... it was Paul."

Funny how Gonzales did not seem to think McNulty knew that much or was responsible for that much in the first round of hearings--only when the man is leaving does Gonzales put the "kick me, I am the scapegoat" sign on McNulty. Of course no one believes this--but it will be interesting to see which one of the Republicans tries to pretend this is acceptable--it will say a lot about them still marching lock step with Bush--Bush has something on them all--maybe they all found out that their party had something negative to do with 9/11 so they have to protect each other because if the one who really did it goes down, they all go down. LOL

You are right. We could not care less about 9 attorneys losing their jobs. But we may care if the courts and prosecuting of cases get so corrupted that people who are card carrying GOP walk free while everyone else is prosecuted, or if resources are used to trump up charges or frame people based on their political affiliation. We will really care if the size of a sentence or judgement is tied to what party the plaintiff or defendant belongs to or when warrants are okayed to go after political rivals or to keep one party in power--and when the courts and DOJ get stacked---THAT is what is at stake, and THAT is why we care. And I am an independent who cares.

[generey]

Yea right. Talk about a fall guy. Probably got more $$$ to take the fall than I have earned in my lifetime.

[toldyouso21]

Remove Gonzales. Hasn't he jaywalked or something that would get him sent to Gitmo?

Pleeeaasse!!!!!!!!

He committed perjury when he lied under oath to Congress and said he had not attended any meetings and that he had not been involved in the firings at all, no meetings, no memos....he was caught in a lie that Republicans would have buried a Democrat for--but since Bush told them all he is staying--they have backed off and said "yes sir"

[stick130]

We all know that Fawell was full of venom and hate for the ***. I will gladly forget his name.
