Gonzo in the Hot Seat posted by Wally 4:51 PM And Congress is pissed! Even Arlen Specter (R-PA), not exactly someone you'd call a staunch liberal, has his undies in a bunch over the way Gonzo is handling himself and totally disrespecting Congress and the proceedings. Specter: Okay... assuming you're leveling with us on this occasion... Gonzo: May I may I Specter: No, I want to move to the point about how could you get approval from Ashcroft for ANYTHING when he's under sedation and incapacitated? For ANYTHING? Gonzo: May I continue the story Mr... aaaah Con.. aah Senator Specter: No I want you to answer my question ..... Specter: Not making any progress here. Let me go to another topic. It's Chuck Schumer's (D-NY) turn to rip him a couple new ones. Please help us understand how you didn't mislead the committee?.... How can you say that you haven't decieved the committee? I am just asking you a yes or no simple question just as Senator Specter has, and just like Senator Specter and others here, I'd like to get an answer to that question. Sir, how can you say that you should stay on as Attorney General when we go through exercises like this? (turning to Leahy) Mr. Chairman, I think we have to pursue this... because I've never heard anything like this. (referring to beginning criminal investigations against Fredo) Will they impeach Gonzo? Please. Chuck Schumer again: Schumer: Let me ask you this, who sent you to the hospital? Gonzo: Senator what I can say is we'd had a very important meeting at the White House over... Schumer: I didn't ask that, I didn't ask... you discussed the meeting... who sent you? Did anyone tell you to go? Gonzo:It was one of the most important programs for the United States - it was important had been authorized by the President... I'll just say that, that the chief of staff to the President of the United States and the council to the President of the United States went to the hospital on behalf of the President of the United States. Schumer: Did the President ask you to go? Gonzo: We were there on behalf of the President of the United States Schumer: I didn't ask you that. Did the President ask you to go? Gonzo: Senator, we were there on behalf of the President of the United States Schumer: Why can't you answer that question? Gonzo: That's the answer that I can give you Senator .... Schumer: Did you talk to the President about it beforehand? .... Schumer: Sir, you're before this committee, you're supposed to answer questions, you've not claimed any privilege, I don't think there is any here, and I asked you a question, and you refuse to answer it. Why? .... Schumer: Did the vice president send you? Gonzo: Senator we were there on behalf of the President. Schumer: Did you talk to the Vice President about it? Gonzo: We were there on behalf of the President Schumer: You will not answer that question as well? Arlen Specter (R-PA) again...: "Well let's see if somewhere somehow we can find a question you'll answer" Note that he fails to do so: It was actually fun to watch. I think C-span might have the whole thing available to watch (though it wasn't working at the time I published this). Permalink :: 4 comments :: Post a Comment
