July 10, 2007, 9:32 a.m.Gonzales is an attorney. Of course he's a liar. Where is the surprise in this? He lies to the betterment of whoever pays his salary, that's his job. He's a lawyer. Who ordered him to sell any principles, he may or may not have? h, wait! He's a lawyer, he has no principles.

July 10, 2007, 9:39 a.m.This man lies as easily as he breathes. Completely effortless. It's really sad. We're supposed to be able to count on him for honesty and justice. We can't count on him ofr either.

July 10, 2007, 10:58 a.m.Once again: WHY isn't this guy in prison? Preferably in Gitmo? I'm pretty sure THIS guy is more of a threat to us than al-Quida.

July 10, 2007, 11:45 a.m.To all you who defend anyone in this Admin. If what they always say is true. Then yes they are not liars there just incredibly incompetent! They never read anything that comes across their desk or they have the worst memories in the history of man. If us regular people forgot or not read or passed it on to our assist as much as they do we would all be fired

July 10, 2007, 11:48 a.m.I'm sure the president can figure out a way to invoke executive privilege to protect his good friend.

July 10, 2007, 1:04 p.m.My guess is the Bush admin is already starting on the mountain of pardons for the entire admin and a whole bunch of war-profiteering cronies. If they haven`t started yet, they better start soon otherwise they won`t finish in time.

July 10, 2007, 1:50 p.m."There has not been one verified case of civil liberties abuse," Gonzales told senators
"Oh, you mean THAT verified case of civil liberties abuse?!?"

July 10, 2007, 2:09 p.m.It's becoming more and more apparent that Alberto cannot read, excellent choice for a regime that wants no law in their enforcement. (Cheney to Gonzales): "Here Al, let me read that for you..". If the AG isn't that child left behind, then maybe, just maybe, he's a liar.

July 10, 2007, 2:42 p.m.another day and another expose of misfeasance within the bush administration. AG cares nothing about the rule of law, what's best for the country or the constitution. All he cares about is what's best for alberto. and he's the head law enforcement officer in the country? disgusting. the rest of the world is laughing at us. good thing bush returned ethics to the office.

July 10, 2007, 2:50 p.m.Watch them try to blame the FBI for the violations.
Just like they blamed the CIA for "bad intelligence".
Convince an underling to fall on his sword, then give him a medal.

You may have thought you were joking, but NeoCon beat you to it. See the post above.

July 10, 2007, 3:41 p.m.Ok... so either Gonzales directly lied to Congress or he is just a complete moron who is not doing his job and reading documents in a timely manner.
Impeachment sounds like a viable option.
Can we impeach Ms. Pelosi for violating the Logan Act too? No? Oh..ok, we are only allowed to go after Republican hypocrites, law breakers, and liars...I see.

July 10, 2007, 4:23 p.m.Great thread of comments. When will the neocons realize that they have given too much power to the wrong people. I thought they wanted less govenment interference not more.

July 10, 2007, 4:35 p.m.every time this administration conducted a warrantless wiretap or search, that wiretap or search was supposed to be certified in writing by the attorney general.
if it wasn't certifed in writing by the attorney general, then that wiretap or search was a violation of the law. period.
gonzales is a criminal.
but then what else did you expect from enron's former lead counsel?

July 10, 2007, 4:56 p.m.Gonzales, a man who would rather lie than tell the truth like all good yes men.

July 10, 2007, 5:03 p.m.I heard this on "Morning Joe" this morning.
I just pulled myself off the floor.
Declare Gonzo an enemy combatant, claim he is a spy, then hang him. That'd allow the man to take more dignity to the grave than any other route and it'd get him the he11 out of the DOJ.
It's win-win.

July 10, 2007, 5:37 p.m.Told and promptly ignored. Sounds like a normal occurance judging by what else has been going on within this idiot administration.
