The War Room: Gonzales to Congress: Move on

Gonzales to Congress: Move on
In testimony prepared for delivery before the House Judiciary Committee tomorrow, Alberto Gonzales says it's time to move on from the controversy over the firing of eight -- or was it nine? -- U.S. attorneys last year. "Recent events must not deter us from our mission," Gonzales will say. "I ask the committee to join me in that commitment and that re-dedication."

As the Associated Press says, that's going to be a "tough sell."

Indeed, with investigators still working the case for the Senate Judiciary Committee, the House Judiciary Committee and the Justice Department itself, even the White House is having a hard time getting on board Gonzales' "move on" train. From today's White House press briefing:

Reporter: Does the president think it's time to move on?

Tony Snow: Well, look, this is certainly being vetted and members of Congress are taking a look at it, but he still supports the attorney general fully and wholly.

Reporter: Does the president think it's time to move on from this controversy, or does he think there's still some things need looking into?

1. Tell us what your mission is, bertie

Just be up front about establishing a one-party dictatorship, and maybe we can then move on

2. I think Fredo should take his own advice and "move on". There

is a very well paying job for him at Halliburton or Carlyle, so go ahead, Fredo, move on...
