Bush again affirms support for Gonzales

By JENNIFER TALHELM, Associated Press Writer 11 minutes ago

WASHINGTON - President Bush again came to Alberto Gonzales' defense Saturday, saying the attorney general is "honorable and honest" and has his full support.
During a joint press conference with Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva at the Camp David presidential retreat, Bush defended Gonzales against charges he has not been forthcoming enough about his role in the firing of federal prosecutors.

"He is providing documents for Congress to find the truth. He will testify in front of Congress. And he will tell the truth," the president said. "I will remind you there is no credible evidence there has been any wrongdoing."

A Republican congressman on Saturday urged Gonzales to resign, citing what he said were Gonzales' contradictory statements about his role in the firing of eight federal prosecutors.

"I trusted him before, but I can't now," said five-term Rep. Lee Terry (news, bio, voting record), whose district includes metropolitan Omaha.

3. No credible evidence? Oh, please!

Personal note to the President: No credible evidence? We've seen the Friday night document dumps, heard Sampson's testimony, and the evidence been convincing enough for Hagel, Specter, Graham and Terry in addition to the Democrats. What more credible evidence is necessary? Oh, I forgot. You still think that Iraq has WMDs, that Saddam Hussein was linked to 9/11, and that there might be something interesting in Al Capone's secret vault. (Sorry, that last one was Geraldo Rivera. I occasionally make mistakes.)

Personal note to Olney Blue: Might you be near LaSalle College in Philly?

4. Yes, "credible evidence" struck me as ridiculous as well.

No, not that Olney. I'm in Maryland, outside D.C. :hi:
