Gonzales to face "tough question" at a hearing. Gee, I bet he's really scared.

Reuters:

Embattled U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales faced a new firestorm on Tuesday sparked by a report he may have misled lawmakers in 2005 about civil liberty violations by the FBI.

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy, a Vermont Democrat, responded by promising that Gonzales would face tough questions about this and other matters at a hearing planned by his panel later this month.

No, not tough questions? Whatever will he do? Probably what he's done at every other hearing - lie with impunity. I mean, seriously, the man keeps lying to you at hearing after hearing, so you're calling another hearing?

Schumer put it, unwittingly perhaps, best:

"This should be the last straw, but there never seems to be a last straw when it comes to George W. Bush and Alberto Gonzales," said Sen. Charles Schumer, a New York Democrat.

We agree. This should be the last straw. Enough of the "tough questions." Actually do something about it.
