Just when you thought Attorney General Alberto Gonzales could not sink any lower, he finds a way. Either he is, hands down, the worst administrator on earth, or he has such an overwhelming reason to cover up the truth that he is willing to look like an absolute moron doing so, even risking perjury charges.
Olbermann has a taste of what AG A.G. had to say to Congress yesterday:
A logical leap?
One thing floating around as speculation, but not a far reach as I can see it. If they were excising the US Attorneys because, in spite of being conservative Republicans all, they were still considered too honorable to go along with GOP partisan plans, then what keeps the GOP from partisan use of everything else?
If one is using US attorneys to attack Democrats or avoid prosecution for bribery or caging, then what is to prevent using secret wire taping for partisan purposes as well.
This would of course be Watergate on steroids, not just the Democratic National Headquarters but every single activist, and office in the country as well as those like Acorn and IVAW that are not specifically partisan.
The problem with secrecy is that anything becomes possible. The problem with lying is that very much worse than is admitted might easily be believed.
