May 15, 2007 -- Gonzales finally "recalls" something, but gets it wrong. Speaking at a National Press Club breakfast this morning, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales said that Deputy Attorney General Paul McNulty, who announced yesterday that he would resign, was involved in preparing the list of U.S. Attorneys to be fired in the wake of George W. Bush's re-election in 2004.

There is only one problem with Gonzales' attempt to shift blame to McNulty. The preparation of the U.S. Attorney "hit list" began in February 2005 by Gonzales' Chief of Staff Kyle Sampson. McNulty did not take over as Deputy Attorney General until March 17, 2006, long after the list was prepared and the U.S. Attorneys were fired. James Comey was the Deputy Attorney General at the time the "hit list" was developed and McNulty was the US Attorney for Eastern Virginia. Gonzales also spoke about McNulty's departure and said that the department would "probably not" find a qualified candidate to replace him.

There is over a year and a half left for the Bush administration. Either Gonzales meant that the position would remain vacant or he would find an unqualified candidate to replace McNulty. If an unqualified candidate is selected for such an important position, it will be in concert with the lowest standards exhibited thus far by the Bush administration in its political appointments.

Gonzales today at the National Press Club. He could not "recall" who his Deputy was in February 2005. (1 image)

Fits right in with the rest of the administration. (and another particular poster on 4um)

WMR catches Gonzo in a big lie.

I remember seeing that statement by Gonzo and thinking the same thing.

Arlen Specter had a good line today, heard on NPR. He said, responding to Gonzo shifting the blame, that nothing he has said changes anything about his leadership or rather, lack of leadership, at the Justice Department.

He and Wolfie are going to be dragged away, their fingernails digging 4-inch gouges in the marble hallways and the cement sidewalks on their way out.

Think how many people are going to have gaps of two to eight years in their resumes once these punks are finally kicked out of office. No one should even think about voting Republican, because a Republican will keep most of these whores.
