Gonzales
‘ve had to remove the option to register for the site for the time being — too many spambots (almost exclusively Russian) signing up. 
I’m considering disabling trackbacks, also, due to the same thing. We’ll give that another week, see what piles up. Meanwhile, back at the BatCave —
The Bush Administration is shoveling shit madly in all directions, desperately trying to save their boy Gonzales.
The White House and the Justice Department say what looks like a contradiction between testimony of Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and FBI Director Robert Mueller is nothing more than a confusion of terms.
”Confusion is inevitable when complicated classified activities are discussed in a public forum,” wrote Brian Roehrkasse, acting Justice Department public affairs director, in a statement Thursday night.
Mueller told Congress earlier Thursday that a discussion between then-White House Counsel Gonzales and then-Attorney General John Ashcroft in Ashcroft’s hospital room in 2004 concerned a controversial surveillance program that Gonzales told a Senate panel on Thursday wasn’t the subject of the conversation.
So, basically, Gonzales and some henchmen sneak into the hospital of a sick man, who is groggy and out of it and sleepy, and try to talk him into okaying some illegal spying programs. They get caught at it, and it comes out at this hearing, and suddenly Gonzales is grinning his shit-eating grin and trying to tell us, “No, no, I wasn’t sneaking into a sick man’s room in the middle of the night, while he was sleepy and drugged, to try to talk him into okaying illegal programs! I was there to talk him into okaying legal programs! Really! It’s all a misunderstanding!”
Ladies and gentlemen, bull-fucking-shit. Okay? Utter bullshit. Just so you know.
