UPDATE:

President Bush was pleased with the Attorney General's testimony today.

A few highlights from today's Senate Hearing regarding Abu Gonzales:

"I think it's clear to me that some of these people just had personality conflicts with people in your office or at the White House and, you know, we made up reasons to fire them."

"I'm concerned about your recollection, really, because it's not that long ago."

"There are some very serious problems, Mr. Attorney General. [...] Your ability to lead the Department of Justice is in question."

"We have to evaluate whether you are really being forthright in saying that you, quote, 'should have been more precise,' close quote, when the reality is that your characterization of your participation is just significantly, if not totally, at variance with the facts."

"I believe you ought to suffer the consequences that these others have suffered, and I believe that the best way to put this behind us is your resignation."

And those were the Republicans' comments.
