Dumb or dishonest?
Yes. Now shitcan the motherfucker.
This scandal over the firing of the attorneys has been raging for months, has been the subject of several congressional hearings, has led to the resignations of six people, and even has Republicans calling for Gonzales to go.
You would think that given all that, Gonzales would have been prepared to answer such simple questions. His dodgy replies made him look like a complete imbecile in front of the entire country.
His testimony leaves only two possible conclusions. Either he is the most incompetent attorney to ever hold a government job, or he is hiding something so shocking and dangerous that he's willing to purposely destroy his reputation and even risk perjury charges to keep it secret.
My bet's on the latter.
If Gonzales were this incompetent, I can't see how even his good friend George W. Bush could stand by him. Not only is Bush resisting bipartisan pressure to fire Gonzales, he's giving him a strong vote of confidence, well beyond "Heckuva job, Brownie" status.
You've heard of honor among thieves. It works for liars, too. ...
[A]t a very basic level, they have lost the ability to govern, to carry out policies, and to do the work of the people. We no longer have a viable president, vice president or attorney general. They are dead weight, an anchor on the ship of state that prevents moving forward and repairing the damage they have wrought. If they truly believed in the oath of office they took, they would lock themselves up in prison for the good of the country.
But since they are incapable of holding anyone accountable for their actions, they will continue along their merry, destructive way until Congress grows a backbone and impeaches the lot of them.

I sent Maru a brief description from a "tin foil hat" website, that it wasn't just covering up attempts to fire AG's, to replace them with pliable AG's to commit voter fraud via caging.
This alleges (3) three federal assistant Attorney General's turned up dead, one the day before she was to testify regarding billions in medicare fraud, specifically from a company that Jeb Bush has joined the board of. This is part of the purge scandal of AG's from the Justice Department.
I have the names of the dead attorneys, easy cheesy to verify or not.
Anyone care to guess what Almost Gonezo is hiding?
I'd like to see the people stop specualting and acting stupid about this, and lay it on the line.
THE SIMPLE REASON WHY GONZALES IS LYING IS BECUZ BUSH AND CHENEY TOLD HIM HE COULD LIE DURING WAR-TIME TO PROTECT THE NATION FROM ITS "ENEMIES". THEY DID NOT MAKE SET ANY SPECIFIC EXAMPLES, TEHY JUST TOLD HIM HE COULD LIE, PERIOD, WITHOUT HAVING TO WORRY. LYING TO "PROTECT THE NATION" IS THE RATIONALE THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION IS USING. THIS IS THE EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE THAT WAS SO IMPORTANT FOR THESE TYRANTS THAT THEY STARTED AN UNJUST WAR TO MAKE IT POSSIBLE.
I mean, why beat around the bush about it? These scumbags started a never-ending war to secure their selfish, dictatorial, never-ending executive privileges. Period.
