A post from July 2007:
Of course, I want public officials to be truthful and honest. No one should lie to Congress. At the same time, Congressmen should not play partisan games by setting up perjury traps.
This whole Alberto Gonzalez show is shameful and demonstrates how pathetic the Democrats are:
""You've got an interesting situation when members of Congress, knowing that somebody is constrained by matters of classification, they can ask very broad questions ... they know the person sitting on the other side cannot answer thoroughly in an open session," White House spokesman Tony Snow said." (Democrats accused of sandbagging Gonzales)
The Democrats are playing games. AG Gonzalez is operating in the real world, i.e. terrorists are plotting to blow up one of our cities and kill thousands!
AG Gonzalez can not answer every question in a public session because some of this stuff is confidential.
My guess is that the Dems are overplaying their hand and coming across as a bunch of bullies who just want to get Alberto Gonzalez.
It won't work politically. Beyond that, this kind of "gotcha" politics is poisonous for the country.
P.S. You can listen to my show (Canto Talk). If you like our posts, drop a dime here.
