Democratic Sen. Joseph Biden (news, bio, voting record) of Delaware said the approximately 12-hour delay in notification "raises a lot of questions" about whether some White House officials could have received an early warning from Card.

"The real question now is, who did the chief of staff speak to? Did the chief of staff pick up the phone and call (Bush political adviser) Karl Rove? Did the chief of staff pick up the phone and call anybody else?" Biden said.

Asked about the report on CBS, Gonzales said his office was notified about the investigation at about 8:00 p.m. and that he had his staff "go back to the Department of Justice lawyers and ask them, 'Do you want us to notify the staff now, immediately, or would it be OK to notify the staff early in the morning?"'

"And we were advised, go ahead and notify the staff early in the morning, that would be OK," Gonzales said. "Most of the staff had gone home. No one knew about the investigation." But Gonzales said he did tell one person at the White House -- Card. Gonzales said he told the president first thing the next morning, "and shortly thereafter, there was notification sent out to all the members of the White House staff." Biden said: "I don't doubt the attorney general's sincerity. But it does seem to me it wasn't the soundest of judgments."

5. You have to admit that he has really cool hair. It

adds to that used car salesman asshole personality of his.

10. I hope he didn't charge it, since he sold us down the river on bankruptcy

Silly me, Senators pay cash.

4. What's that quote from?

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

6. He said that to Mr. Gonzalez during the AG confirmation hearings. n/t

[nookiemonster]

8. Not sure, but I think it came from when Biden was questioning

Gonzales in the Senate regarding torture techniques. A year ago maybe?

That dumbass Biden starts off by saying, "You're the real deal" "I like you". Stupid crap like that.

Randi plays the clip alot on her show.

3. Biden is getting good at ...

...talking out of both sides of his mouth. He's the epitomy of the kind of wishy-washy, feckless Democrat that we don't need these days.

11. /actually, he's not.

We don't KNOW if Card called anyone else, even though, if he didn't, he's an idiot! I would have in his position!

He's talking like a lawyer, and, like it or not, that's what most Senators are.

He can't just say, I know Card isn't that stupid. So they were all gone home. They have phone, son't they? We can say those things, but Biden really can't. He'd be stoned by his opposition for saying things he has no way of knowing now.

Leave it up to Fitz and the investigation. I really believe they will find out lots of things we have no way of finding.

12. So Ashcroft told Gonzalez it was ok to wait.....that makes it all OK???

I mean, let's not forget who the AG was, and that he wasn't even inclined to recuse himself on this matter....
