C-SPAN is re-airing Leahy’s Judiciary Committee hearing at 11:27 eastern time. It is starring Abu Alberto Gonzales and he has some real whoppers to tell. It should be a good show.

You can just tell by watching AG AG that he knows he’s swimming in hostile waters right now.
and of course by ‘right now’ I mean in the replay…he was actually in deep shit while I was at work earlier today so I’m seeing it for the first time.
I just tuned in and he’s wasting more time on the ‘war on drugz’.
I think his statement is just trying to waste time, hunh? less time for the grilling he knew he was about to get….
Exactly. He is attempting to change the subject.
Leahy is going to start prying open his asshole. Prepare for rippage.
Leahy starts with signing statements and illegally opening mail! yeehaw!
I know…as I said in the other thread, he is intellectually outmatched.
I like how you can visibly see Leahy getting more and more pissed as he just keeps talking. He sits up straighter and straighter.
Oh man, that was great…Leahy asks him first if the President ordered opening of mail, after Gonzales says not that he’s aware of, Leahy pegs him on whether or not he thinks the President has that authority.
Thanks BooMan for posting this Open Thread on C-Span Senate hearings – Gonzo’s Waterloo replay. My cows won’t wait for milking if I oversleep at 4:00AM.
Keep an eye on Leahy. From his interview on local VT radio he wouldn’t buy a sealed can of VT Maple syrup from this gang.
I love the Abu
GhraibGonzalez body language with the tightly folded arms….Maybe he is upset…that W drank his big-red and tamales. sorry for the South Texas slur…but again it is only Abu G. has Sen.Leahy yelled at him yet??
After my trip to the National Conference for Media Reform last weekend where I was out of the loop for the most part here in terms of keeping up with all the diaries and fp stories, it took me a while to catch back up. I noticed lots of great fp stories, lots of excellent diaries, and lots of participation from uid’s I haven’t seen lately. I like it. 🙂
Anybody else notice it?
Yup. Not sure why, but it’s good stuff.
I have been running across more links to BTrib lately while surfin’ the blogosphere…
Orrin Hatch is a jackass.
What a surprise, someone from Utah ranting about obcenity and pornography. He’s probably not wearing any pants behind that bench. Hypocrits.
He’s doing his best to throw softballs when the rest of the committee is throwing baseballs. Hard.
Yeah I know. Hatch is AG’s cut man. Couple more left hooks though and he’s done. He’s already out on his feet.
He’s one of them. Jon Kyl is doing his damndest as well.
How the hell is Grassley on Judiciary? Fuck. He is barely qualified to be on the Hooked on Phonics Committee.
he’s one of the better GOoPers on Judiciary.
True. Our comments on him are not mutually exclusive.
