It's Time Again For Another Round Of "Save Your Ass!"

Gonzales denies talks on attorney firings






Today's player is U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales!

U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, under pressure to resign, said on Friday he did not recall being involved in talks on dismissing individual federal prosecutors, disputing testimony by his former chief of staff.

Saying he is "fighting for the truth," Gonzales acknowledged confusion over of role in the firings, which critics charge were politically motivated. He said he had directed former aide Kyle Sampson to evaluate the government's 93 U.S. attorneys to determine where changes might be needed.

"I don't recall being involved in deliberations involving the question of whether or not a U.S. attorney should or should not be asked to resign," Gonzales told reporters after a forum on child safety at the federal courthouse in Boston.

It looks like he's pulling a page from Ronald Reagan's book! How exciting! "I don't recall...." "I disremember...."




Wow, his short term memory must really be lacking because if I called for the firing of 8 prosecutors who didn't support the president during last year's election cycle, I don't think I'd forget about it that quickly. After all, it's only March. It's not like we're hearing about this a year after the fact, like we have with previous problems/scandals. Tsk, tsk.
