President Bush defended his embattled Attorney General Alberto Gonzales from a symbolic Senate vote of "no confidence". In the investigation of the firings of eight state attorney generals the White House has been much less than forthcoming. So what does the President do to defend his chief legal minion? He blames the process for dragging out too long, for being too political. Bingo on both, only the accuser is the "pot calling the kettle black".
The testimony of Mr. Gonzales has been laughable for someone supposedly in charge of an important government function. His fuzzy memories have shed no light on critical decision making processes used in the Justice Department. Apparently this batch of attorneys doesn't know how to keep notes, write memos, summarize phone calls and keep files, paper or electronic. Either that or they don't know how to access them to refresh their memories before testifying in front of the people's legislature.
White House pressman Tony Snow pulled out the taffy analogy yet again. Does he spend his time at the Jersey shore, famous for its Salt Water Taffy? What Tony and his rich friends don't understand is how much this story resonates with the average employee. Many workplaces have a dysfunctional power head like Bush and a slithering minion aid similar to Gonzales. People spend their ten hours a day trying to stay on the good side of number one and avoid number two altogether. So Tony, you're wrong. America is sick of sorry leaders at work and at the federal level. Bush's approval ratings are a clear indication.
