It's pretty evident that gonzales ability to lie well isn't up to the usual bush standards.
"Obviously I am concerned about the fact that information _ incomplete information was communicated or may have been communicated to the Congress," Gonzales said. "I believe very strongly in our obligation to ensure that when we provide information to the Congress, it is accurate and it is complete. And I very dismayed that that may not have occurred here."
Gonzales: Prosecutors Firings Mishandled
Compare that with what he said earlier:
"Attorney General Alberto Gonzales has indicated he is too busy to answer letters from Democratic congressional leaders about his firing seven U.S. attorneys involved in probes of public corruption, though a lower-level Justice Department official rejected their proposals.

Asked by Melissa Charbonneau of the Christian Broadcasting Network about this column’s report that Gonzales did not respond, Gonzales said: “I think that the American people lose if I spend all my time worrying about congressional requests for information, if I spend all my time responding to subpoenas.”

Also, at his news conference gonzales repeatedly accepted "full responsibility" and said "mistakes were made", then went back to his office. "Full responsibility" has become a meaningless term in American politics.
