1996.

GWB would have been Governor of Texas.

That would seem highly prejudicial for service on any jury. Even if he had showed up, he would have been dismissed. No DA or defense attorney would want a sitting governor on their jury.

Someone is trying to dig dirt and make an issue out of a non-issue.

I heard that President Bush, while serving as the Gov. of Texas, once changed lanes without signaling. Someone ought to call Newsweak.

True. This serves as an avenue to bash both the President and Gonzales.

However the argument being put forth isn't about the President per se but an attempt to derail the Gonzales nomination based upon differing info provided by Gonzales in his testimony to the Committee and info provided by the Judge, Prosecutor and defense Counsel in the Travis County court case. Gonzales's testimony follows the court transcript but the others claim there was an off the record meeting which Gonzales now says he doesn't recall.
