'Berto Bombs Bigtime
That was an ugly hearing yesterday for soon-to-be ex-Attorney General Gone-zales. After spending weeks "preparing" for his make or break appearance, he ended up saying variations of "I can't remember" some 64 times when expectations were that he'd deal in specifics. His weak powers of recollection did not go unnoticed by a couple of normally sympathetic Rethug Senators, Sessions and Graham. One Rethug, Senator Coburn, actually called for him to resign. After the hearing concluded, members of the audience treated Gone-zales to a few bars of "Na Na Hey Hey (Kiss Him Goodbye)". He'll probably be hearing that more often.
