AG Gonzales blames outgoing McNulty for firings

"Alberto" Gonzales has officially blamed outgoing Deputy Attorney General Peter McNulty for the 8 (or is it 9, or 10, or 20, or...?) fired US Attorneys.

"The recommendations reflected the views of the deputy attorney general. He signed off on the names," Gonzales said while responding to questions at a forum on the Justice Department's Safer Communities Initiative.

It will be interesting to see how McNulty responds.
