Alberto Gonzales testified before Congress today about the firing of 8 US Attorneys. (It's actually still on as I type this.) NPR, CSPAN and I would assume some of the other cable news networks covered his testimony all day. As I ran work related errands around town I periodically tuned into NPR to hear what was going on. I didn't listen to it consistently because it sounded like Gonzales was repeating himself over and over again all day. His excuses remind me of the ones my husbands students gave him when he taught middle school. "My friend said it was OK and I know he's always right." OK admittedly Gonzales didn't quite say that, but he wasn't far off from it. He's the head of our justice department. When the people under him screw up, ultimately he should be accountable.
Gonzales has dodged questions and spouted absolute baloney all day. He does not recall...he does recall...he can't be held responsible for such and such...he did his best. Give me a break! Is there no accountability in the Bush administration?! (I can't believe I just typed that. There is absolutely no accountability.) I don't see how Gonzales could possibly be allowed to remain as US Attorney General after his testimony today. He is saying a great deal of nothing and pissing off people including many Republicans.
