"He cannot recall making a decision, because he never did."

cskendrick, commenting over at kos, has this to say...

I think Gonzales was always a figurehead...

At best a letter-carrier from the White House to the White House functionaries within the Department of Justice.

He cannot recall making a decision, because he never did.

He cannot recall who was in the meetings where decisions were made, because he was never invited to them.

He cannot recall when said meetings occurred for the same reason.

He well and truly does not know; he was never trusted, never consulted, never advised, never included and never, ever made a single judgment call of consequence because,

brace yourself,

the White House, the Congress, and all Republicans everywhere never doubted for a moment that Alberto Gonzales was incompetent.

That was his resume: that he was a dull-witted, scatterbrained toady. That, if ever brought in for hearings, he would be so frustrating to even the GOP caucus that they would be screaming for his removal long before the President ever did.

after watching gonzo's performance today, i don't know how anyone could come to any other conclusion... i hold a similar low opinion of bush, including that he is under the control of behind-the-scene handlers... moreover, under heavy questioning, i would expect to see bush turn in a performance that would make gonzo look like richard feynman...
