So many criminals, and always the same excuse: so little time.
Apparently the news networks were obsessed with the fact that soda can be harmful to your health, so they didn’t give much coverage to the serial perjury being committed by the Attorney General of the United States. There is extensive coverage at TMP Muckracker. The coverage consists of a series of posts starting here. You can get to succeeding posts by clicking the “next” link. Each posts contains a video. Here’s the first, in which both Leahy and Specter question Gonzales credibility.

I haven’t watched them all, something I intend to do after I hit the publish button on this post. But it seems clear that at this point Gonzales doesn’t care what they think. He is basically in their face because he knows that ultimately, there’s nothing they can do to him. After all, only the Justice Department can bring perjury charges against him, and he runs the Justice Department. He doesn’t even attempt to make his lies credible or his excuses defensible. The wonder is that he hasn’t just told the Senate that he won’t testify invoking the magic doctrine of executive privilege.
There is something they can do, although I’m getting tired of typing the word. Impeach him too. There might actually be enough Republican votes to convict him.
By the way, no posts yesterday because I was attending a meeting of the Charter Revision Commission about which more, perhaps, in the next few days.
