Gonzales is 'practicing' his testimony before Congress.
Seems to me if you tell the truth you don't have much to 'practice'.

~snip~ Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales has retreated from public view this week in an intensive effort to save his job, spending hours practicing testimony and phoning lawmakers for support in preparation for pivotal appearances in the Senate this month, according to administration officials.~snip~

6. You can do it yourself!!!
Ever heard of the Psychological Stress Evaluator or the Voice Stress Analyzer?

"The most effective indicators that test if someone is telling the truth are the Psychological Stress Evaluator (PSE) and the Voice Stress Analyzer (VSA). Both of these tests have been put into this Truth Detector with a unique designed device that will measure the frequency changes that occur in people’s voices when they are under stress. Then these results are displayed by an LED band so that it can be measured and analyzed through a bar graph comparator."

http://www.coolest-gadgets.com/20050820/voice-stress-analyzer-used-as-a-truth-detector-2/

Google Voice Stress Analyzer and you'll also find free software to DL and try out.

I'm too chicken to do it myself (the Dl'ing and installing :hide: ), but it would be interesting to see the results.

3. Maybe he really wants to win a Tony this year for Best Performance by an Attorney General.
He's probably practicing his tap-dancing, too.

7. Why can't bush* just loan him his little back box to use while testifying?
Bush* always has a quite noticeable bulge on his back when he does any sort of debate or answers questions. Why can't Gonzo have his own bulge?

11. No Sleep for the Tortured and Haunted, Zipper Grinning, Fredo....?
As time slowly drips away for Fredo,
In the end,
Will his tortured overworked mind suddenly go blank
when faced with Senator Leahy's penetrating stare..?

The psycho has to practice speeches for days before he has to give them and now we see just how incompetent this MORAN is. No wonder he's been at the psycho's side for years. He makes the psycho feel smarter.:eyes:
