Rightwingers Refuse to Defend Gonzales


Earlier today, Chris Wallace of Fox News revealed that he could not find a conservative willing to come on his show and defend Attorney General Alberto Gonzales from the charge that he perjured himself before Congress.

Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich (R-GA) called Gonzales a "liability" for the country:

Both the president and country are better served if the attorney general is a figure of competence. Sadly, the current attorney general is not seen as any of those things. I think it’s a liability for the president. More importantly, it’s a liability for the United States of America.
