So many “I don’t remembers” and “I don’t recalls” lately. Lying about not remembering, or truly not remembering, which is total incompetence. Why do these people have jobs? But, if you think that’s bad, Gonzales admits to being “never focused”. Oh, yeah… he’s aces! A perfect appointee from this perfect administration. VOTE REPUBLICAN, Y’ALL!

Rough Justice - The Case Against Alberto Gonzales

Gonzales Invokes the Homer Simpson Defense

You just cannot make this stuff up. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales’ former chief of staff, D. Kyle Sampson, spends much of his Thursday deflating his former boss’ story about the eight fired U.S. Attorneys and how does the Attorney General respond? By issuing a written statement late in the day that essentially says this: Yes, Sampson may have been keeping me in the loop on the firings after all but I wasn’t really paying attention (”never focused” was the exact phrase) to what he was saying. It’s the Homer Simpson defense to the Kyle Sampson story and if this were a Little League game they would have invoked the 10-run rule by now and sent Gonzales go home to Texas to once again become a lucrative private attorney.
