Pryor Meets With ‘Hazy’ Memory Gonzales, Calls On Him To Resign Again
Pryor Meets With ‘Hazy’ Memory Gonzales, Calls On Him To Resign Again
In his testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee last week, Alberto Gonzales promised that he would meet with Sen. Mark Pryor (D-AR) and explain why Karl Rove-protege Tim Griffin is still serving as U.S. attorney in Arkansas.
The last time Gonzales met with Pryor, on Dec. 15, he promised that Griffin would be subjected to Senate approval, or he would work with Pryor to find new candidates. The exact opposite happened — Griffin was appointed and remains U.S. Attorney in Arkansas. Pryor was livid: Gonzales “lied to me, he lied to the Senate and he lied to the people I represent,” he said, calling for the attorney general’s resignation.
Today, Gonzales finally met with Pryor. Based on Pryor’s remarks to reporters afterward, the attorney general performed as poorly as he did before the Senate last week:
[T]he 40-minute Capitol Hill meeting failed to sway Pryor who told reporters afterwards that he still thinks Gonzales should resign.
Pryor said the attorney general’s memory of two phone calls they had in December on the subject was so “hazy” that Pryor today “refreshed his memory on what he said and what he told me.” [...]
Gonzales attempted to explain his views but did not apologize, Pryor said.
Looks like Gonzales just couldn’t recall. Again.

Keep refusing V05, hopefully by 2008 you and the rest of the crime family will be taken off in Handcuffs for a all expenses paid trip to Gitmo.
April 25th, 2007 at 8:08 pmThis is like watching the Titanic sink. It is slow at first, but as it takes on more water, the inevitable will happen. Sen. Maria Cantwell also called for Gonzo’s resignation today as well.
April 25th, 2007 at 8:13 pmGone-zo has changed his approach. He can remember every thing. However, “No hable English” followed by “No hable Espanol” doesn’t really impart any useful information.
April 25th, 2007 at 8:13 pmHow convenient.
“I can’t remember anything therefore I am innocent and I absolve myself of any responsibility for my illegal acts and therefore there is no reason for me to resign.” – AG
April 25th, 2007 at 8:13 pmAnother great photo-op of Gonzo smiling and happy as Alfred E. Neuman
April 25th, 2007 at 8:14 pmI serve for anyone, as long as theyre serving up some meth with the brown eye.
April 25th, 2007 at 8:14 pmGonzo is shameless.
Wow. I keep saying that about so many people in this administration.
BTW, that’s a perfect picture, Amanda. :D

Please don’t send them to Gitmo. Why give Fidel the pleasure of watching them squirm and burn. Let’s put them all in Leavenworth. That way we are not exporting jobs. Besides Zooey likes the idea of DUHbya carving mesquite chips in his cell. Rolling cigars while riding his waterboard is not nearly so romantic.
April 25th, 2007 at 8:17 pmSessions, Coburn, Cantwell, Pryor…Does anyone have a complete list of everyone who has asked for Gonzo’s resignation?
April 25th, 2007 at 8:18 pmLeave him alone! I think he’s cute!
April 25th, 2007 at 8:20 pmDoes that picture make my face look fat?
My wallet sure is fat helping Bush Crime Syndicate rip off the American tax payers.

Always so considerate, Clyde. :)
I’d be satisfied with the Chimperor carving mesquite chips UNDER Leavenworth.

You might try the Senate and House phone books. You won’t be far off.
April 25th, 2007 at 8:23 pmJust ignore those names with sweat drops around them because they will be next to be gone-zo.
Well we plan on doing Americas last torture live on “Fox News” which has been taken over by PBS. Something that would please 70% of America and 88% of the world. We know there are still cockroaches in the cracks of congress, and we’re going to find out who they are. (Even if they name a few innocent GOP’ers just to stop the torture).. you know kinda like real torture will get you to incriminate anyone even the innocent.
April 25th, 2007 at 8:25 pmDEMAND that the Attorney General…
…be brought to justic….
…’er wait a minute…
…isn’t the AG the nation’s HIGHEST law enforcement official?
…DAAAMMMMNNNN DUHmerikkka!
April 25th, 2007 at 8:25 pmRohrbacher, Ehlers, Snowe, and Tancredo can also be added to that list.
April 25th, 2007 at 8:26 pmZooey,
Why don’t you and I carve the mesquite together and bury your Chimperor under them? It would keep most of the stink out of Kansas.

I second that.

April 25th, 2007 at 8:31 pmWe could always barbecue him over the mesquite….

I meant the list of people who have requested Gonzo’s resignation. Also Sununu, he was the first republican to come out against Gonzo.
April 25th, 2007 at 8:32 pmor we could barbecue him over the coals from an old mandolin…
April 25th, 2007 at 8:35 pmThere must be a position for him at Abu Grihab or Syria that will help him remember why he fired the AGs. Ya know like standing on a box for hours with wires tied to body parts, with a burlap bag over his head. I mean this is the guy that said all this is legal interrogation techniques.

Sorry! I’m reading my Social Problems book and only paying half attention — obviously.
I thought your list was for resignations. :-D
April 25th, 2007 at 8:36 pmRaven,
April 25th, 2007 at 8:39 pmAre you suggesting we burn Gonzales and Bush alive using my body to fuel the fire? That’s pretty sick. I guess you’re just lashing out because TP has been hilariously unsuccesfull at getting Gonzales to resign.
Zooey,

We can and should do this for the country. :-D

Can-O you just won the Nobel Metaphor of the Year prize.
April 25th, 2007 at 8:47 pmGee thanks Clyde! :)
I used to live in New Orleans (30 years ago).. So I’m quite familiar with them. New Orleans is stuck with them, for America and the world we gotta hope we clean house.

Oh you two goofy patriots …
April 25th, 2007 at 9:20 pmThis subnormal poseur has no business being the AG…he is a disgrace to his profession and an insult to the office he holds…had he any integrity he would resign (of course, if he had integrity he would never have reached to such high positions as an integral part of the most incompetent and dishonest bunch of losers in presidential history…they will live in shame the rest of their lives and beyond…round them all up and exile them to a distant island far from human contact…

Two: a fact.
Goofy: probably.
Patriots: without a doubt.
Join us for a threesome.
The rest of you too for a foursome and some moresome.
Zooey will do her new dance, choreographed especially for the Impeachment Ball, called the Bush a go-go-gone-zo rag.
April 25th, 2007 at 9:52 pmHe won’t resign and George W. won’t fire him. Bush wouldn’t be able to find another person who has as much contempt for the Constitution as Gonzales, unless he were to appoint Cheney as VP/AG….
April 25th, 2007 at 11:23 pmIt doesn’t matter if Gonzo can or can’t remember where he lives. It doesn’t matter because President Shit-For-Brains won’t fire him and feels he doesn’t have to. It doesn’t matter because there will be another orchestrated “terrorist” attack sometime in late September or October 2008 so President Shit-For-Brains can declare martial law, put the congress in protective custody and suspend the elections. In effect, remain in power indefiintely. That is, until the people finally, once and for all, demand his (and Dick’s) removal from office.
April 25th, 2007 at 11:51 pmThe Democratic party has the stupidest politicians in history!
Every time Gonzales said I cannot recall, they should have said:
The job of AG or any lawyer requires that one have a good memory, from your lack of recall it is OBVIOUS that you are physically unable to perform your job because of your poor memory, therefore we have no choice other than to remove you from office, and have your law license revoked due to medical reasons because your physical condition of poor memory prevents you from being a COMPETENT lawyer.
Then what could the Republicans do?
Try to argue that lawyers do not need have to have good memories, which sounds so absurd that even they would not try to argue something so silly!
April 26th, 2007 at 7:15 amI don’t care if he is telling the truth – people with such faulty memories should not be able to hold public office…
April 26th, 2007 at 8:37 amAmanda – Thank you for bringing another Democrat call for Gonzalez resignation to the forefront! What a surprising turn of events! Knowing TP’s righteous condemnation of corruption, I am waiting patiently for TP to call for an investigation in Senator Feinsteins’ shady finacial dealings. I am certain the research staff is not avoiding such information – rather, TP with thorough and methodical research is just checking sources, right?
April 26th, 2007 at 10:58 amGonzo is most likely an old party/coke snorting bud who just happenned to be in the wrong place at the right time in hooking up with the comedian in chief. Bush is a crook and deserves a noose. Gonzo shouls be tried for crimes against the Republic of America. He is a liar and history will mark him for the slime He is.
