Ashcroft was a tighty whitey kook who thought the statues in the Justice Department should have their private parts covered - but his replacement is far worse.
Alberto Gonzalez authored the infamous "quaint torture" memo, and even went so far as to try and pressure a hospitalized Ashcroft into approving what we now know was another secret intelligence gathering program so intolerable even Ashcroft wouldn't put his signature on it. Exactly what that program is - and what happened between the two is still unknown, and Gonzalez spent his day in front of congress today backpedaling and BS'ing to avoid all the questions he was asked.
It's clear this man is a liar - and this situation recalls the days leading up to the Watergate scandal.
Gonzalez needs to go - and his boss knows exactly why but isn't telling us the truth.

An Attorney General that is ethical ? LMAO Oh no. That's just asking way too much for an Attorney General under George Bush. It's not only asking too much, but it's downright undesirable to Bush.

Good analysis.
But it's not clear Gonzales is a lier.
He may simply be unable to keep track of what's happening in he own department.... which is not being a lier. It's being incompetent.

Evidently, Bush has a full deck of "kooks" in line for any vacancy.
