Gonzales: "That's a Good Question"
This one is just for fun. Given the extensive damage that Alberto Gonzales has done to the Justice Department's credibility, Sen. Herb Kohl (D-WI) wanted to know why Gonzales thinks he's the man to fix it?
"That's a very good question, Senator," a smiling Gonzales replied, before continuing on to explain that he'd decided "to stay and fix the problems."

Iraq war veterans are suing the Department of Veterans Affairs for illegally denying or delaying claims for mental health treatment and disability pay, claiming that there is a backlog of 600,000 disability payments for vets, inadequate treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder and other shortcomings in the VA. The suit names VA secretary Jim Nicholson and Attorney General Alberto Gonzales for failing to reform the system. (USA Today)

Another editing problem: cutting off G's response. Now I think he should go to jail, but paring down his response gives a bad impression.

Rodney Lamprey, jr. wrote on July 25, 2007 1:04 PM:So it seems Gonzales decides whether or not he remains as Attorney General, as he "has decided to stay to fix the problems". What happened to serving at the pleasure of the President?
