In defending Gonzales, Justice officials look to the dictionary

What does "abuse" really mean?

    That's the job I want....

    Alberto Gonzales didn't get involved in the evaluation and firing of his senior DOJ staff...he delegated a large chunk of his responsibilities to inexperienced junior staffers...he appears to know nothing of how the Justice Department is being run, or by whom....he probably didn't read FBI reports suggesting "abuse" (by any definition) of domestic spying....

    ...maybe he just needs to keep his calendar free for when GW needs him to run an errand, or to take greetings from the President to desperately ill friends in the hospital.

    My question is this: what the hell does Alberto Gonzales DO? And why are we still paying him not to do it?
