    (Sometimes I feel the urge to complete other persons sentences for them ….)

    “I believe in truth and accountability (because it is snapping at my heels) and every step I’ve taken is consistent with (the) principle (of trying to run away as fast as I can)”

    “I am fighting for the truth as well (as I can comprehend truth, within the context of being a lawyer)

    He’s a good man fallen among bad company. (snicker)


  4. Jake says:

    He could have honestly forgotten about those 5 meetings too.


  5. Raven says:

    Or perhaps a fallen man among good company…………..


  6. WaltTheMan says:

    Two sentences, four lies – that has to be a record.


  7. Matt Jett says:

    -blink- -blink- Wha…. WHAT!?! My God, what a tool.


  8. Jackie Rawlings says:

    Jake is right and he could have forgotten he was Attorney Gerneral and thought he was still Attorney to the President. As Rummy said when thousand of US soldiers and Iraq woman/children stuff happens get over it. Now if your not a Bush friend crime doesn’t pay even if it has to be fake evidence. GOP now has a way to get Libby’s case dismissed, as lying under oath is now legal. Thank goodness Al Gonzales is a true liar like Bush or Libby would have to go to jail.


  9. Dogjudge says:

    I hope Gonzales stays as AG until the end of Bush’s term.

    By that time, Republicans won’t be able to be elected to dogcatcher.

    As I read text of what GoneZo said, all I heard in my head was the sound the teacher makes in the Peanuts cartoons.


  11. Robert says:

    Some Blogger wrote recently this is the “Constanza Presidency” – means they do exact the opposite of they say. (From the Seinfeld Episode where George doesn’t everything the opposite of his instincts)


  12. Tom says:

    Forget it smirky. Your days as AG are over.

    If criminal charges are brought against you, you’ll gain a new respect for habeus corpus.

  13. Some Guy says:

    this is going to be soooo good.


  14. TerrytheTurtle says:

    Torquemada probably believes in ‘f***ing for virginity’ too.

    ”I believe in truth and accountability and every step that I’ve taken is consistent with that principle. I am fighting for the truth as well.”

    Hahahahahahahaha! I’ve never heard such BS. Well, okay, yes I have. From his boss.


  16. turtle says:

    Keep on lying… dig yourself deeper in… lose more credibility.

    Gonzo’s a goner!


  17. OhSnap! says:

    This would be hysterical if it wasn’t our nation’s elected/appointed officials perpetrating this BS. Sadly, very elementary BS.

    Sampson barely threw AbuG under the bus. Sure, he noted “inaccuracies”, but his favorite words were along the Scooter-faulty-memory line.

    So now, AbuG is calling Sampson a liar. He, who testified under oath before Sampsy and got his facts mis-aligned, is calling Sampson a liar.

    Ooh, I cannot wait to see what Goodling is willing to offer up in addition to what we will be learning about these transcript interviews started today.


  18. veritas says:

    AHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! Right!!


  19. veritas says:

    This statement from Gonzo, the Con-zo! This is comedy at it’s finest!


  20. veritas says:

    I guess the WH “bug juice” contains early Alzheimer’s enzymes??? These thugs can barely remember their names…..The Fools on the Hill!! They’ll get theirs soon…when they sit their sorry butts in the slammer.


  21. ForTruth says:

    Kinda like fighting for serenity?


  22. ForTruth says:

    He’s fighting his own ghost.


  23. Ben Dover says:

    Please excuse me while I vomit. Gitmo Al certainly learned well how to function in the Bush Crime Family.


  24. Jake says:

    The post at 4:03 was not the real Jake.

    I would’ve noted that Clinton was obviously not into ‘the truth’ when he said “I did not have sex with that woman”.


  25. Raven says:

    So, not being the real ‘jake’ would imply you are the ’surreal jake’?


  26. Marie says:

    AG is certainly not fighting for the truth. He has corrupted the DOJ and turned it into an arm of the RNC. He has corrupted the office of AG and turned it into the president’s personal counsel.
    He will surely resign, but more than that; a resignation is not enough — he has committed crimes (perjury is only one) and he must face charges for that.


  27. Raymond Funamoto says:

    Alberto VO5 GONZOales TRUTH=ORDINARY PERSON’S WORST LIE


  28. WTF? says:

    He then continued, “Up is down, freedom is slavery, black is white.”

    I think Abu Ghraibzales is DONE.

    Why do Repubicans hate America?


  29. Ken Jackson says:

    Alberto, Alberto, Alberto…… You sorry sack of dog feces!!!!! You wouldn’t know the truth if it were chewing on your testicles… I have never known a repig son of a bitch that could even spell T R U T H

    The only truth you will know is You and ever repig like you is going down, and that isn’t going down on Jeff Gannon your butt buddy!!!
