A.G. Gonzales to Busy For Democrats

    Attorney General Alberto Gonzales has pretty much told the Democrats to get lost when it comes to them wanting information about his sorry ass firing several US Attorney's that were investigating corruption.

   I guess that the White House plan is to get rid of anyone who gets to close to the truth and then to hire replacements who are to incompetent to try a traffic case much less a corruption case.

   This clan of characters gets more ridiculously stupid by the minute.

Attorney General Alberto Gonzales has indicated he is too busy to answer letters from Democratic congressional leaders about his firing seven U.S. attorneys involved in probes of public corruption, though a lower-level Justice Department official rejected their proposals.

Rep. Rahm Emanuel, House Democratic Caucus chairman, had written Gonzales two letters suggesting that he name Carol Lam, fired as U.S. attorney in San Diego, as an outside counsel to continue her pursuit of the Duke Cunningham case. Asked by Melissa Charbonneau of the Christian Broadcasting Network about this column’s report that Gonzales did not respond, Gonzales said: “I think that the American people lose if I spend all my time worrying about congressional requests for information, if I spend all my time responding to subpoenas.”

Richard A. Hertling, the acting Justice Department lobbyist, responded Wednesday, 22 days after Emanuel’s letter. He contended “the Justice Department would not ever seek the resignation of a U.S. attorney if doing so would jeopardize a public corruption case” and rejected naming Lam as a special prosecutor.
