Tomorrow is Gone-zo Day!

Soon-to-be-removed Attorney General Alberto Gonzales will be testifying tomorrow in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee. It's being predicted his statements will make liberal use the phrase "nothing improper." However, that couldn't be further from the truth. In addition to many of the previous issues we've raised here at the ELPN, it has been revealed now that Sen. Pete Domenici, who attempted to pressure New Mexico's US Attorney David Iglesias to accelerate investigations into Democratic nominees prior to the 2006 election, actually called the White House - and spoke to Bush directly - about removing Iglesias from his post!

Interestingly, polls show that two-thirds of Americans - and a slight majority of Republicans - believe there were political motivations behind these US Attorney firings. Also, the American Freedom Agenda, a group that supports conservative legal principles, whose members include such noted GOP members as Richard Viguerie and Bob Barr, are calling for Gonzales' ouster.

Hey, Alberto, don't let the doorknob hit you on the way out!
