Alberto Gonzales Hearings

Alberto Gonzales was grilled on Capitol Hill Thursday by Democrats in reference to the prosecutor firings. At first he denied claims he had anything to do with the firings. He now has backed down from this statement. The Democrats have gone on the attack along with some Republicans. The White House has said President Bush is "Pleased " with his testimony. Will the White House continue to back him? If so, How long?

Gonzales's earlier statement about the firings were undermined by three of his own aides. My personal feeling is his credibility has been damaged to the point I am not sure how long he will remain Attorney General. Gonzalez also said he "misspoke." The term misspoke to me sounds like another term for intentionally lying as his three top aides gave truthful testimony. How can one apologize for damaging the reputations of these attorneys? Another key point is he answered " I don't know" or "I don't recall" close to 100 questions asked. Do we still have confidence in this man? I, for one do not and question his integrity as a man as well as an Attorney General.
