Of course he did. He was the Attorney General. Can you fire a U.S. Attorney without the Attorney General passing on it? ABC is a bunch of idiots, or they think that the public is a bunch of idiots.

I would assume that hiring and firing would be part of his job description.

"...or they think that the public is a bunch of idiots."

In that regard, they would be largely correct.

They think that the public is a bunch of idiots.

The democrats count on it.

That's how they know they can get elected into power and how they know they can get away with so much of their bovine excrement.

I think certainly the latter, and possibly the former (ok, they are idiots, but I think they understand that this is a non-story).

No, they know that the public is a bunch of idiots. Uncritical, underinformed and undereducated nonthinking slugs.

Actually, they know that half of all Americans are idiots.

Of course he did.

But he said last week, if the article can be trusted, that he "was not involved in any discussions about what was going on." Now perhaps he simply didn't recall this meeting, but I bet otherwise.

Ya know, I just don't get why Gonzales or Bush or anyone minces around the truth. Dear God, just say, "Yeah, we fired 'em! Yes, I was involved, they were incompetent. Why do you ask?" Instead, it's "Ooooo, no, oh willikers, no, I didn't do it, well maybe I saw a little something but it was a post it or something, and gosh golly no I would never..."

Half-truths, stammering around, and apologizing are sure-fire ways to invite the Dims with gold lettering to stick the shiv in. Can we surprised when they do?

Can you imagine
if the documents showed otherwise?? "Documents Show Gonzalez Disapproved of Firings"...the LameStream Media outlet ABC would have their panties in a knot about Gonzales not having control of his own JD!!

LOL...really, the whole thing makes me laugh. The LSMers will make it a scandal either way!!!

The public is a bunch of idiots... at least 50% are anyway...

It this kinda crap that pisses me off about this Admin...
Bush should just come out and put it in simple terms to the people and press....
Bush: "It's MY damn right to fire US attorney's, End of Story!",

but no... they just let this crap fester and fester....
