Reply #10: From an earlier report, Gonzales is meeting with Ed Gillespie [View All]

[gratuitous]

Oddly enough, one of the problems with Mr. Gonzales' running of the Justice Department is that he's made his office too political. And so in order to clear up that perception, Mr. Gonzales is meeting with the former chairman of the Republican National Committee. Reasonable people might wonder what particular expertise a professional political adviser like Mr. Gillespie will bring to Mr. Gonzales' preparations.

Cynical folks -- of whom there are none here at DU, thank Cthulu -- might say that this is the equivalent of an accused mobster meeting with Don Corleone just before his committee hearing. It completely contradicts the impression he's trying to give.
