He says the firings were properly made but mistakenly handled

Now he's talking about first coming to DC

Leahy cuts off Sampson .. Leahy announces he is leaving to go vote

He sure sounds like he is gonna suck up as much as is necessary to get HIMSELF off the hook...

Somehow I doubt he will be TOO worried about Gonzo or the POTUS.

I listen to CNBC at work. A MSNBC update on the hearings ended with this quote: "lawmakers from both parties have called on Gonzalez' to resign..." Please FOX start a business channel!!

Washington,D.C. has turned into a circus in some ring of hell.

I knew it would be bad after the elections, but I fell way short in realizing just how bad.
