But He Wasn't Involved!

Yeah right! I am talking about old Gonzo, who has now landed in even more hot water:

Attorney General Alberto Gonzales approved plans to fire several U.S. attorneys in a November meeting, according to documents released Friday that contradict earlier claims that he was not closely involved in the dismissals.

The Nov. 27 meeting, in which the attorney general and at least five top Justice Department officials participated, focused on a five-step plan for carrying out the firings of the prosecutors, Justice Department officials said late Friday.

There, Gonzales signed off on the plan, which was crafted by his chief of staff, Kyle Sampson. Sampson resigned last week in the wake of the political firestorm surrounding the firings.

So we find yet another lie the nation's top law enforcement official told Congress. And with this kind of behavior we are to expect Bush's people to tell Congress the truth not under oath? Bull shit!

I say the House and Senate need to just go ahead and put the subpoenas out. Clinton had 49 aides testify under oath, so we have a precedent. Congress wants to discuss Rove and Mier's conversations with Gonzales, not Bush, which takes the cover of "executive privilege" off the table. This is a showdown the White House will loose.
