Grilling Gonzales' fall guy

Punishing hearings on the U.S. attorneys scandal brought no relief for the attorney general's disgraced former chief of staff, or the embattled White House.

    Al Lewis -- the 124 Can't Remebers DO mean something

    I can recollect the last business meeting I was in where I was subjected to questions concerning my work and the work of others who report to me. Because MY company has expectations of intelligence and competence, I am not expected to answer 'I dunno' (as if I would speak to collegues or my boss that way) or 'I can't remember'. If I truly do not know the answer ( which does happen) I am expected to say that I will get the answer an report back in a defined period of time. Not sure where YOU might work where being that uninformed and/or THAT forgetful would be accepted.

    Since this individual was (I assume) prepared for his testimony, his inability to remember is completely unacceptable. And if he and his handlers were unable to anticipate what would/could be asked they are beyond incompentent. And were probably hoping to coast by on arrogance and 'I don't remembers'. Please....spare me.

    Let's not feel too sorry for these incompetent boobs who are finally facing the music.

    Nancy New
