Alberto Gonzales - Unforgettable

TPMTV has put together a top ten video of Attorney General Alberto Gonzales's greatest moments. Oh, how the country's muckrakers and comedians mourn his resignation.

Headzup: Alberto Gonzales Resigns

Gonzales Resigns: The Parade of Speeches

Since the news broke this morning, there's been a few big press conferences.

First up, Gonzo himself makes the formal announcement. Kinda looks like he wants to cry.


Next up, Lame Duck Bushie flaps his gums and proves that he is not only completely clueless, but totally irrelevant. Seriously, why does anybody even pay attention to him anymore? He's officially pointless.


And finally, Senator Chuck Schumer attempts to talk some sense into the administration by asking for a replacement who is actually qualified for the job. What a novelty that would be.

Queen - "Another One Bites the Dust"

In loving tribute to Gonzo's resignation.

Ding! Dong! Another One Gone!

What a great way to start the day! Attorney General Alberto Gonzales has resigned! And yet another Bush appointee has jumped ship. First Karl Rove, then Tony Snow, and now Gonzo. Who's next? And who, oh who, will replace these clowns?

Proof Gonzo Lied Under Oath

MSNBC's David Shuster reports that FBI Director Robert Mueller's notes show that Attorney General Alberto Gonzales lied under oath during his Senate hearing.

Bill Moyers Journal - The Rove Legacy

The great Bill Moyers is once again the media's sole voice of reason. Here, he shares the true legacy of Presidential Adviser Karl Rove.

The Word - Potential

Stephen Colbert explores the enhanced powers of Attorney General Alberto Gonzales.

Dick Cheney: Lying Liars Edition

TPMTV has parsed through all the lies in the Larry King interview of Dick Cheney and put together this highlight (lowlight?) reel.

Is it wrong that I dream of a day when we get to see him frog marched off to prison?

Cheney: "I Don't Recall."

The New York Times has reported that Dick Cheney sent Alberto Gonzales and Andy Card to the hospital bed of John Ashcroft, in order to get the former Attorney General to sign off on the warrantless wire-tapping program. So, in a recent interview, CNN's Larry King asked him point blank if that report was true.

Doesn't look like Larry King's buyin' that sack of crap, either...

The Daily Show - Hearing Problems

Harriet Miers and Josh Bolton have been held in contempt of Congress, Gonzales refuses to answers questions in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and Jon Stewart tries to make sense of it all.

Special Counsel Investigation on Gonzales

Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) just gave a press conference, announcing that the Democrats of the Senate Judiciary Committee will be seeking a special prosecutor to investigate Attorney General Alberto Gonzales.

Latest Gonzales Hearings

In this clip from Countdown, Keith Olberman takes a look at some of the testimony given at yesterday's Senate hearings, in which Attorney General Alberto Gonzales either perjured himself, or revealed yet another secret domestic spying program. Clip includes highlights from Senators Diane Feinstein's & Arlen Specter's questions.


In this segment of the hearings, Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) tries to get a straight answer out of Gonzales, but basically proves that he's been lying all along and that he's completely incompetent. If it weren't so awful for our nation, this would be hilarious.


And, finally, during the closing statements of the day's hearings, Chairman Senator Patrick Leahy tells Gonzales that he's lost all trust in him and that he has no credibility. And at the very end, Code Pink supporters shout for Gonzales to resign.


UPDATE: TMPTV has put together a highlight reel of all of the ugliness from yesterday's hearings. This is as beautiful as it is horrible.
