Looks like Bush is pulling out all the stops because he knows he cannot be realected. So we have his administration pushing Pro-Illegal, Anti-Gun, Anti-Profiling, Pro La Raza types. But not to worry the supposed conservatives will be posting shorly about how even Gonzales's anti-Gun stance really isn't anti-gun.
Were he to say that he was opposed to the ban, it would be something the dems would use against him, possibly deny him confirmation.
Albert may well support the ban, but based only on this event, it would be hard to say for sure.
On the other hand, if he has past history or paper trail indicating support for the ban, you would say that the statement to the senators is confirmation.
Have you ever been in a job interview and told the man what he wanted to hear?
Waaaaallll ... it depends on how you define the meanin' of anti gun .... LOL ...
