Analysis: Gonzales' best defense is memory lapse

In the court of public opinion, former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales' best defense is memory failure. Again.

Throughout congressional testimony and in responding to various investigations, Gonzales has said he can't remember key events or didn't know what was happening at the Justice Department under his watch.

In perhaps the most memorable example, he ducked 71 questions from the Senate Judiciary Committee in April 2007 by citing a faulty memory or saying he didn't know the answer. His responses evoked cringes from fellow Republicans, eye-rolling from Democrats and hoots from protesters at the hearing.

NY Sen. Schumer gets Dem convention speaking role

New York Sen. Charles Schumer (SHOO'-mer) will speak at the Democratic National Convention, highlighting his role in trying to win more seats in the U.S. Senate.

Schumer chairs the Senate Democrats' campaign efforts, reprising his successful effort in 2006, when his party picked up enough seats to hold a slim majority. Schumer hopes to strengthen that edge this year.

Party officials say the senator will speak the night of Aug. 27 after the roll call and will be flanked by some of those he is working to propel to the U.S. Senate.
