Shaking Off Amnesia, Gonzales Remembers He's Actually Pool Salesman From Tulsa

Embattled Attorney General Alberto Gonzales' future was thrown further into jeopardy Friday when he was accidentally struck by a boom microphone, reversing a years-long case of amnesia and causing him to remember his true identity as hotshot Tulsa, OK pool and spa salesman "Cabana Al" Gonzales.

"My God, what am I doing here?" a dazed Gonzales asked reporters in what they assured him was indeed his office. "The last thing I remember is slipping on some wet redwood decking out by the Boswicks' 16-by-48-foot in-ground El Tropico--beautiful pool...."

"Clearly, I should not be seventh in line for the presidency," Gonzales said. "Can I go home now?"
