Today, the women were all over Gonzales because one of his aides, Monica Goodling, will invoke the Fifth at Senate hearings.
Rosie supports her taking the Fifth because she believes the Bush administration is making everyone else pay for their crimes, like in Abu Ghraib. Rosie is very sympathetic because she understands the evils this woman faces at the hands of the Republicans.
I have news for Rosie: this woman is not afraid of George Bush or the Republicans. This woman knows the democrats want top punish every conservative in Washington and will stop at nothing to get the justice they have predetermined needs to be delivered. This woman fears the Democrats.
Goodling would be a fool to answer any questions before the Senate. No one should agree to testify because there will be no end to this.
Elisabeth tries to explain what is happening in Washington: the witch hunts have begun. She talks as fast as she can because she knows she never gets to talk for long. She reminds us that the president has the right to fire these people for any reason.
I would agree the Administration botched this whole situation. They should have never said a word about why any of the U.S. Attorneys were terminated. Gonzales handled the situation badly and then just kept digging.
Joy brought up Patrick Fitzgerald- he was on the list to be terminated in 2005 and the administration decided to keep him on staff. What a mistake that was in hindsight.
Rosie acknowledges that the President can get rid of these people, but she does not think he can cherry pick the ones he likes. Rosie, that is the point of serving at the pleasure of the President: he can cherry pick. He should cherry pick. Obviously, the solution going forward is for the President to immediately terminate all U.S. Attorneys and replace the bad and the good with people the President believes will be supportive of the President’s agenda and pursue those cases the President wants pursued.
Thank God for the Fifth Amendment. Good lock Monica!
