GOP To Withhold Judgement On Gonzales
Senate Republicans Muster Appeal To Withhold Judgement
On Gonzales Until April Hearing

WASHINGTON, Mar. 27, 2007

(AP) Attorney General Alberto Gonzales' allies on Capitol Hill grew scarce
Tuesday as he left it largely to aides to carry out President Bush's order
to straighten out the story behind the firing of eight federal prosecutors.

Senate Republicans exiting their weekly policy lunch no longer bothered
to defend Gonzales' response to lawmakers' questions about the firings.
At most, they mustered an appeal to withhold judgment until the attorney
general testifies before the Senate Judiciary Committee April 17.

That was Sen. Arlen Specter's message during the closed-door meeting,
according to three senators who were present.

"Senator Specter today said to give (Gonzales) a fair chance," said Sen.
Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., a staunch White House ally who lunched with
Gonzales last week. "I think people are trying to do that. But there are
some inconsistent stories (Gonzales) is going to have to explain."

The republican case fixer? Or the pedophile enabler?

Which Gonzales do they intend to withhold judgment on?

it makes sense for the Republicans to drag this out for three weeks?

I for one don't believe Gonzales will ever be testifying on April 17 - I think he will be gone before then, and will not testify because he has told so many different stories he is bound to perjure himself.
