‘Heckuva Job, GonzalesSen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT) from today’s Senate Judiciary Committee meeting, on the president’s expression of increased confidence in Alberto Gonzales:
“The statements coming out of the White House on this matter seem disconnected to reality. It is reminiscent of the Presidentâs âheckuva jobâ assessment of the head of FEMA who failed to prepare for Hurricane Katrina and then failed in our recovery efforts. And, again, the White House wants to turns the page and move on. Just as they have left so many displaced residents of New Orleans without the relief they needed then â and that many still need â this White House is ready to leave federal law enforcement in shambles.”
Leahy’s committee is likely to authorize a subpoena today for Sara Taylor, another of Karl Rove’s deputies.
