Gonzales Suggests Firings 'All Harriet Mier's Fault': Analyst (Toobin)

From RAWSTORY (with video):

During a panel discussion on the US attorney purge scandal, CNN legal analyst Jeffery Toobin says that the bottom line from Gonzales is that the blame for the US attorney firings lies with Harriet Miers.

"He said, basically, when President Bush started his second term, Harriet Miers called and said maybe we should replace all 93 US attorneys. Gonzales said no, but maybe we should review whether all of them should continue serving," says Toobin. "At that point he says he got periodic updates but essentially knew nothing about who was going to be fired or why they were going to be fired, and that's his explanation."

John Roberts, the co-anchor of "American Morning," chimes in to say he thinks Gonzales will have a "really hard time on Tuesday" when he testifies to the Senate Judiciary Committee, and that he will not get any breaks from the senators.

Damn, I wanna take Tuesday off so I can watch this in real-time!!! Can't do it though...

:banghead:

Kinda makes ya feel proud.

Bill's fault.

:bounce::rofl::bounce:

scapegoat?!

should gonza get any so called "breaks" from the Senators?

they believe, don't they? They jump out of the way and point the finger at some little old lady and scream, "Shoot her! It's all her fault! Throw her in front of the train!" I am not saying that Harriet didn't have anything to do with this sordid, shameful mess, but for these weakling, sniveling, soft-sided wimps to try and push a little old lady in front of them as a human shield should make all republicans feel very proud of their party and their leadership. Gutless faux-men...

She doesn't strike me as the brains and prime mover of something of this magnitude. Why would she care? I can believe that she was the designated fall lady for Rove-Bush on this. They probably tasked her with getting the question in front of the DoJ and was the go-between in the conversations about this political decision.

How will he choose between two utterly devoted lap-dogs? Bet Gonzo could do him more damage. Poor Harriet.

His answers are pure, transparent bullshit. This is after 2 weeks of studious preparation? At the very least, he's a complete incompetent.
