If, as reported, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales spent weeks preparing to testify in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday, he might as well have saved himself the trouble.

Gonzales tried to plausibly deny to Congress that he had had much to do with the questionable firings of eight U.S. attorneys, a claim that is substantially contradicted in e-mails and in testimony from subordinates at the Justice Department. He failed miserably.

Indeed, with 71 claims of faulty memory during an intense, five-hour grilling, Gonzales came across as having something to hide. His vague, legalistic responses to important questions - such as who, exactly, was behind the firings - were clearly not the whole truth that he is sworn to uphold. ~snip~

As attorney general, Gonzales has never, to anyone's knowledge, failed to do the White House's bidding. His allegiance to President Bush, to whom he owes his career in Washington and Texas, has been absolute. After Thursday, it still is. ~snip~
