Gonzo's show a train wreck (admits Rove involvement), but W likes him

WASHINGTON - Alberto Gonzales' bumbling congressional testimony provoked quiet moans from the White House, but President Bush yesterday remained committed to his beleaguered attorney general.

<snip>

"It was awful," one top GOP source complained. "About the worst I've ever seen."

A colleague who often confers with the White House added, "He was inept, pathetic."

Some Gonzales aides were relieved there was no smoking gun or gotcha moment, but "obviously it didn't go well," the source said, specifically citing the AG's damaging admission that he consulted with Bush political architect Karl Rove.

1. Rove got strings now??? what webs we weave....

[orpupilofnature57]

2. We've been held hostage by a Idiot-ocracy ,that isn't Impeachable?

[fasttense]

3. Not only did Gonzales admit the tax payer funded political

consultant KKKarl met with him about the fired attorneys but he admitted he met with crazy king george about it too. Though he was not clear on the date of the meeting between the three.

4. Okay, so, "some" have said that Gonzo sunk to new lows in an

administration that is so low it casts no shadow. That leads me to call this administration the Limbo Administration. ("How low can you go?" is a line from an old Limbo song.) However, Le Pope has just "erased" Limbo. So does that mean the Bush Admin has been erased, too?

Oh, if it only worked that way.

5. I don't think Bush likes him...

So much as it's his sociopathic need to never be wrong/admit he's wrong.

6. "no gotcha moment" ?! It was like the Nuremberg trial

why is no one saying perjury? why is no one saying dis-bar Gonzales?

16. Perjury? C'mon

Lil al says he misspoke - that's a lot different than a lie ......

isn't it???? :sarcasm:

7. Moral of the story:

If you're going to Lie, at least be a GOOD liar for God's sake. Do it with a little pizazz, since you've got the attention of the american public.

This is what too much torturing does to people. It makes them dull-witted. Time to go, Abu Gonzales.

11. Gonzo tried to fall on his sword for Bush.

He just didn't do the best possible job. But I would wager the Bushites have to be pleased with his willingness to be a scapegoat.

12. Yet still they continue, and yet still he is in power.

[blm]

13. I KNEW DeFrank wrote this article - he's such a Bush kissass. No smoking gun, my ass.

15. "no smoking gun or gotcha moment"

That's because he didn't say shit! If his memory is really that bad he needs to be placed in a home for Alzheimer's patients.
