But what I REALLY meant was...

yadda, yadda, yadda... gonzo would probably be better off just keeping his stupid mouth shut...

Gonzales ... explains the discrepancy between his March 13 statement that "I was not involved in any discussions about what was going on" and the revelation that he participated in just such a meeting about what was going on ten days before the firings.

What he REALLY meant, he explains, was that he wasn't involved in the nitty-gritty: "I was never focused on specific concerns about United States Attorneys as to whether or not they should be asked to resign." And no wonder. The reasons kept changing.

caps and boldface mine...
