FROM THE SENATE
Dismissal of U.S. Attorneys
Atty. Gen. Alberto Gonzales testifies before a Judiciary Cmte. hearing on the recent firing of eight U.S. Attorneys. Critics have questioned the motivation for the firing and the Atty. Gen.'s role in the process. The original hearing, scheduled for Tuesday, was post-
poned because of the Virginia Tech University shootings.

Please remember and be kind to us cubicle bound.
Live thread for those interested.
Leahy asking those in the audience not to hold up things and block the view of others. Sounds like the Pinkers are there.
Starts with the V Tech atrocity, of course.
Live VT news conference is also on now on FoxNews.
That’s why G_d gave us 2 ears. :)
Leahy makes a number of conclusory statements and then criticizes AG for making conclusory statements.
Leahy charging wrongdoing over failure to bring charges on voter fraud. AG shaking head.
Calls it a “mass firing.”
The AG had better hit back hard.
(Leahy is such a marble mouth it is hard to understand him.)
Leahy demands the documents that show nothing improper was done...yes, he really said that.
Just in time the hear that slug Leahy pontificate.
I’m thinking he had a few morning eye-openers.
He’s such an arrogant, nasty Rat.

With nary a whimper from the 'Rats...
Specter goes into identity politics...he’s a hispanic, had a hard road.
Specter won’t be any friend. He says he has to justify dismissing the attys.
Specter is a jerk. They are holding the hearings to see if Gonzalez will continue as AG? When was it up to him?
Is this going to be a hearing or a lesson in grandstanding lectures and pinko antics?
With friends like Specter...
Yes! ;o)
Specter says he has a heavy burden of proof to reestablish his credibility.
