Gonzales: I can't recall, I dont remember!

I like best what Jon Stewart of the Daily Show said:

"After weeks of mock testimony, there you have it. Alberto Gonzales doesn't know what happened but he assures you, what he doesn't remember was handeled
properly."

"Alberto Gonzales used the phrase "I don't recall" 45 times before lunch". "I should point out, at this time, that's alot".

Here's the video, you have to listen to a comercial first.

President Bush said he was please with Gonzales testimony. Did he listen? Really listen?

The White House insiders weren't too happy with Gonzales testimony. Here's what CNN reported from a Think Progress link:

CNN’s Dana Bash:

Loyal Republican after loyal Republican in this hearing room, and more specifically, in private to CNN today have made it clear that they are frankly flabbergasted by how poorly they think the attorney general has done in this hearing. … During the lunch break, in private, several very loyal Republicans made it clear to CNN that they were really dripping with disappointment.

CNN’s Suzanne Malveaux:

[White House officials] believe Gonzales is in trouble. … Two senior White House aides here describing the situation, Gonzales’ testimony, as “going down in flames.” That he was “not doing himself any favors.” One prominent Republican describing watching his testimony as “clubbing a baby seal.”

Since yesterday, many have come out asking Gonzales to resign. Republicans and Democrats both!. But will Gonzales resign, it's a good bet that Bush will not ask for the resignation.
