And clearly that would be him so he said no. In a correction today, Gonzales said he thought the reporter had asked if they were the “top paid”. And clearly that would be him so he said no.

Oh, I know ... mabye it's the fact that Gonzo and Bush League can keep kicking the can down the road by referring the press to the other for responsibility on the AG resignation. That is, until the Democrats take the initiative with impeachment proceedings (let the Reps claim this guy with a no vote) or at least a vote of no confidence. What is this guy smiling about?!
