I reported last week on a press release from three Montgomery County Republican candidates, incumbent county commissioner Jim Matthews, current District Attorney and county commissioner candidate Bruce Castor, and current first assistant district attorney and district attorney candidate Risa Vetri Ferman. It called for President Bush to ask for the Attorney General's resignation.
An anonymous comment pointed out the wording of the press release:
Montgomery County Commissioners candidates Jim Matthews and Bruce Castor, along with District Attorney candidate Risa Vetri Ferman, today sent a letter asking President Bush to replace Attorney General Roberto Gonzales.
“As public officials and candidates in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, we know firsthand that there is perhaps nothing more important than earning and maintaining the public trust,” the three Republicans wrote in the letter.
The trio went on to emphasize that the current lack of trust in the Attorney General is the key factor in this decision. “…we would be hard-pressed to find anyone who would disagree on this point, even if they hold Mr. Gonzales in high regard as Attorney General.”
The letter concludes that keeping on the Attorney General is a mistake and asks the President to remove him from office. (See full text of letter below.)
The release goes on to provide biographical information on the three candidates and the full letter to the president.
The comment on my earlier blog entry points out something that had escaped me entirely. The Attorney General is Alberto Gonzales, not Roberto Gonzales. Their letter gets the name right.
Gosh ... that's .... well, not good. Many thanks to the person who caught the mistake. Too bad someone didn't catch it earlier....
