Dear Democrats, please do not use stupid Washington words and phrases like “misled”, “misspoke”, or “was untruthful”. Alberto Gonzales clearly lied in order to cover the ass of himself, and probably the White House. He lied. It is a word used by normal Americans, and when you talk to them about their government and the liars in it, you should use it.
Attorney General Alberto Gonzales approved plans to fire several U.S. attorneys in a November meeting, according to documents released Friday that contradict earlier claims that he was not closely involved in the dismissals.
The Nov. 27 meeting, in which the attorney general and at least five top Justice Department officials participated, focused on a five-step plan for carrying out the firings of the prosecutors, Justice Department officials said late Friday.
There, Gonzales signed off on the plan, which was crafted by his chief of staff, Kyle Sampson. Sampson resigned last week amid a political firestorm surrounding the firings.

Agree 100%, OW.
And this needs to be pounded into the minds of Americans this weekend. Why do we need administration officials to testify, in public, under oath, with a transcript?
Because they lie!
It has been our bitter experience that the Democrats allow these opportunities to pass in an effort to show ‘bi-partisanship’ or some other bullshit excuse for refusing to win.
I am sincerely hoping that they realize that if they lose this fight, the other fights they are saving themselves for will be taken off the schedule.
They will be ignored by the White House and the corporate press/media. The public, with no source of information other than the White House, will come to accept Bush’s narrative.
This is about so much more than Bush, or this election cycle or the Democratic Party. It’s about who’s watching the watchmen.
Mistakes were made.
You are absolutely right about this, Oliver. I wonder how the Sunday “bobble-heads” will try to spin this?
James E. Powell, powerfully said.
I’m proud to know ya.
Here’s an idea: Why don’t all the reporters and news commentators who hate Bush call Gonzalez a goddam liar — and then we’ll know exactly who they are.
No, we need reporters who will be loyal Americans by believing Gonzales and not their lying eyes.
Now, now.
“Lie” is such an ugly word. What was it Gonzalez said? That he wasn’t much involved in the firings?
Well, all he did was approve the list of people to be fired! That took what? Six seconds? Maybe ten?
Meanwhile others spent days, even weeks on the job.
‘Berto told the truth!
