Cheney is A “Big Fan” of GonzalesDick Cheney musters his vanishing popularity on behalf of Alberto Gonzales:
Vice President Dick Cheney said Monday that he is a “big fan” of embattled Attorney General Alberto Gonzales.
In a interview with CBS News White House Correspondent Mark Knoller, the vice president also said Gonzales has been truthful in his testimony before Congress.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Pat Leahy, a Democrat, has said he doesn’t trust Gonzales, but Cheney said the attorney general has the support of the only man who really counts.
“I’ve had my differences with Pat Leahy,” Cheney said. “I think the key is whether or not he (Gonzales) has the confidence of the president â and he clearly does.”
