I'm well aware, but in light of the Adminstration yammering that they did nothing wrong, having one of the first people brought in to testify to the Senate immediately go for the Fifth sure doesn't help-- any more than Gonzales' claiming he knew nothing about the firings being directly contradicted by his own earlier communications with his staff, and the fact that when the Department turned over their emails, that the three weeks directly preceding the firings were conveniently missing. I must say, Republicans are loyal-- in the wake of Iraq, Katrina and this, the fact that 29 percent still think Georgie is doing a good job is testament to how well they march in lockstep. Believe me, Dems are much more likely to turn on their own- sometimes even when our own are doing a good job. Which, of course, is part of our problem.
