The Perjury General
In today's testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Attorney General Alberto "Fredo" Gonzales had trouble keeping his story straight, and was grilled by both Democrats and Ranking Rethug Senator Arlen Specter. His testimony contradicted that of former Deputy AG James Comey, who earlier testified that Fredo and former White House Chief of Staff Card tried to get a sedated and ailing Attorney General Ashcroft to sign off on Bushit's warrantless wiretapping scheme, which Ashcroft refused to do.
Specter warned Fredo that he'd better recheck his testimony to make sure his contradictory statements "weren't actionable" - - i.e. for perjury. Chairman Leahy said simply, "I don't trust you." It looks like Fredo's problems are far from being over.
