White House Impatient With Gonzales?

March 29, 2007

ABC News' Jonathan Karl Reports: The White House is getting increasingly impatient with Attorney General Alberto Gonzales.

Officials are frustrated that Gonzales is taking so long to get up to Capitol Hill to attempt damage control on last year's controversial firing of eight U.S. attorneys.

...

With today's Senate Judiciary Committee testimony of his former chief of staff, Kyle Sampson, contradicting Gonzales’ statements on the matter, the White House believes there is renewed urgency for Gonzales to get out there and explained what happened.

The White House does not want Gonzales to wait until his scheduled testimony on April 17th to clarify the record. Even the White House’s Deputy Press Secretary, Dana Perino, sounded a little frustrated at today's briefing, observing, "Three weeks is a long time."

7. Good lies take a while to prepare.....

when you spin a web of lies you have to be damned certain you can have total recall at any given moment. That can be tricky. They have to be well planned and rehearsed, hence, the delay.
