Of COURSE he denies everything

deny EVERYTHING, admit NOTHING...

Attorney General Alberto Gonzales is defending the dismissal of eight U.S. Attorneys and denying that he has a political role in the purge, The Wall Street Journal is reporting.

Facing criticism over the firings, Gonzales deemed them appropriate "but said the Justice Department handled the situation poorly," Evan Perez writes for the Journal.

"We could have rolled out the decisions more smoothly," Gonzales told Perez in an interview, in which the Attorney General also "rejected accusations from Democrats and other critics that the prosecutors were fired for failing to follow" the White House's political agenda.

"To think we made these changes to retaliate or because they didn't carry out certain prosecutions?" Gonzales said, according to Perez. "That did not occur here. I stand by the decision to make the changes."

seriously, what do you expect him to say...? "yeah, we canned their asses cuz we really need people in there who will kiss serious butt, and when george, dick, karl, or i say 'jump,' they ask "how high...?' besides, when we're outta office, we'd just as soon not have a bunch of diligent prosecutors out there maybe lookin' to make our lives miserable..."
