Did you know Alberto Gonzales himself admitted that mistakes were made?

Yes conservatives admit when mistakes have been made. What is your point? When is the last time a liberal owned up to making a mistake, not blaming someone else? I could not remember either. If you want to play the Clinton card, in 1993 he fired ALL the US attorneys!

In 1993, Clinton replaced H.W. Bush’s prosecutors. In 2001, Bush replaced Clinton’s prosecutors. None of this is remotely unusual. Indeed, it’s how the process is designed.

The difference with the current scandal is overwhelming. Bush replaced eight specific prosecutors, apparently for purely political reasons. This is entirely unprecedented. For conservatives to argue, as many are now, that Clinton’s routine replacements for H.W. Bush’s USAs is any way similar is the height of intellectual dishonesty. They know better, but hope their audience is too uninformed to know the difference.

Clinton’s former chief of staff John Podesta told ThinkProgress last week that the entire argument is “pure fiction.”

Mr. Rove’s claims today that the Bush administration’s purge of qualified and capable U.S. attorneys is “normal and ordinary” is pure fiction. Replacing most U.S. attorneys when a new administration comes in — as we did in 1993 and the Bush administration did in 2001 — is not unusual. But the Clinton administration never fired federal prosecutors as pure political retribution. These U.S. attorneys received positive performance reviews from the Justice Department and were then given no reason for their firings.

We’re used to this White House distorting the facts to blame the Clinton administration for its failures. Apparently, it’s also willing to distort the facts and invoke the Clinton administration to try to justify its bad behavior.

Gonzalez pretty much has to acknowledge a story created by a media who refuses to acknowledge the double standard. If he didn't then correct me if I'm wrong, wouldn't the libs start crying about how the administration runs from the problem? Clinton never had to defend his administration for similar issues, he would have done the same thing (ever hear of Monica Lewinsky?). That's ok, you'll believe whatever you want, don't let facts get in the way of your opinion.

the only mistake was writing the email stating how it should be handled. the acts of letting go were not the mistakes. that is why he also said I stand by the dismissals. and clinton did dismiss all 93, one that was investigating him. so the comparison is valid. sorry some peoples hate cant understand that.

He also in an article last week said that he knew what was going on and that to him it was a non issue, yet in his press conference yesterday he claimed he did not know anything but accepts responsibility

He almost gave me whiplash

there is nothing pathetic about pointing out that Janet Reno Fired 93 US Attorneys

Its crazy for a person to make a mistake. Yet alone admit it

I have said since 2001 that the Bush regime is the most corrupt and Dangerous one America has ever had...and the headlines keep proving me right.

Like Libby....Gonzales will probably sacrifice a subordinate!

Yes, unless your only source of news is FOX, then you likely knew that.
