A two-day testimony delay won't help the attorney general, who says "to my knowledge" he didn't target U.S. attorneys for replacement. But how much doesn't he know? Maybe he should talk to Scooter Libby?
  • nasty place to work

    I'm with you on Cheney's reaction, Joan. It was really quite striking. I expect everyone in the White House knows that this is cover-your-butt time, and devil-take-the-hindmost.

    That White House has never been a very nice place to work...and right about now it must be hell-on-wheels.

    I ask everyone: imagine Gonzalez on the Supreme Court. There was a very good chance of him ending up there. Not now, of course. But imagine it. He'd make Clarence Thomas look like Oliver Wendell Holmes...

    I also suspect things have not hit rock-bottom for the boys and girls in the West Wing yet. More congressional oversight will likely turn up some very smelly stuff. It's just a matter of time.

    I also happen to think Cheney is a genuinely evil human being..and I don't use that word lightly. He's a dangerous, vengeful geek, and I just hope his fangs get pulled before he does something really crazy..
