who says senate committee meetings aren't funny

From today's confirmation hearings of Alberto Gonzales:

Shortly before the hearing ended, Leahy asked Gonzales if he had made any mistakes in the war on terror?

"I'll be the first to admit I'm not perfect and I make mistakes," Gonzales said.

"Glory hallelujah," Leahy said. "You're the first one in the administration that said that."

I only hope that this guy for whom "torture" seems to only consist of those things leading to death (and who is hopelessly reticent in answering questions) doesn't become any higher up a member of this administration than he already is.

...sadly, however, he'd be a step forward from Asscroft.
