Next Scandal d' Jour

[GenuineRisk]

From Newsweek, via John Cole:

<<This really says it all about this administration:

An article appearing in this week’s edition of Newsweek suggests that Attorney General Alberto Gonzales is struggling in preparatory sessions for his appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday.

Michael Isikoff in Newsweek’s Periscope column this week says that Gonzales performed poorly in initial preparation sessions for his testimony.

“Gonzales kept contradicting himself and ‘getting his timeline confused,’ said one participant who asked not to be identified,” Isikoff reports.

He also notes, “His advisers finally got ‘exasperated’ with him, the source added.”

Justice Department staff were nervous according to Isikoff, and had canceled all public appearances scheduled for this week.

Isikoff also describes Gonzales as increasingly isolated.

“The department is in a state of paralysis,” said one “frustrated senior administration official.”

Why, exactly, does one need to prepare to tell the truth. I give you two choices:

1.) You are so stupid that you can not accurately remember time sequences.
2.) You have an AWFUL lot to lie about.

At any rate, the chief law enforcement officer of the country needs to prepare so he does not perjure himself. He is just damned lucky no one has accused him of getting a blow job.>>

It's enough to make a girl miss John "I annoint myself with oil before I go to work singing 'Let the Eagle Soar' and demanding the American people pay $6,000 for a drape to cover up Justice's boobie because it's very distracting to Little John" Ashcroft.
