Sunday Talk Shows Ask About Impeaching Gonzo

Weekend Watchdog Wrap-Up
By Bill Scher, OurFuture.org

The five-week long streak is over! A Watchdog question was actually asked on the Sunday shows yesterday.

On ABC's This Week, George Stephanopoulos asked Sen. Chuck Schumer, if the Justice Department's Solicitor General failed to appoint a special counsel, would impeaching Attorney General Alberto Gonzales be "on the table"?

As a bonus, Face The Nation's Bob Schieffer asked the same question to Sen. Arlen Specter. Both hosts noted that the New York Times editorial board urged impeachment if the administration refused to appoint a special counsel.

Both Schumer and Specter refused to say yes or no. But at least the prospect has begun to be taken seriously in the traditional media.

The Watchdog's other questions were not asked.

Schieffer failed to ask Specter if he would ever break Republican Party ranks and back up his harsh criticism of Gonzales with action to hold him accountable.

And Stephanopoulos did not ask Sen. Orrin Hatch if he would recant his earlier statements that there was no evidence of political interference in the Justice Department.
