Favorite Gonzo moment

For me, the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing last month produced my favorite Gonzales moment:

“Well, how can you be sure you made the decision?” Mr. Leahy asked.

“Senator, I recall making the decision from this — I recall making the decision,” Mr. Gonzales replied.

“When?” Mr. Leahy responded.

“Senator, I don’t recall when the decision was made.”

Specter's grilling of Gonzales just moments later was easily my second favorite:

SEN. SPECTER: Weren't you involved inthe decision on the removal of Arkansas U.S. Attorney Bud Cummins, asKyle Sampson testified?

ATTY GEN. GONZALES: Senator, I have no recollection about that, but I presume that that is true.

SEN. SPECTER: Weren't you involved inthe decisions with respect to U.S. Attorney Iglesias in New Mexico, asyou've already testified in response to the chairman's questions?

ATTYGEN. GONZALES: Senator, I do recall having a conversation with Mr.Rove. I now understand that there was a conversation between myself andthe president, and at some point, Mr. Sampson brought me what Iunderstood to be the consensus recommendation of the senior leadershipthat we ought to make a change in that district.

Someone needs to make a "Gonzo's Greatest Hits" CD (available for itunes too, of course!).

This attitude is what their prosecutors should begin recieving in the courts. Respect is not a one way demand. Maybe for a few, but the majority shall rebel. When the top law enforment person of the country plays with our law by perjurying himself by saying he "doesn't recall". It is very bad.
