It would be www.gingkoforgonzales.com, and we could collect bottles of gingko to be sent to Washington to enhance the memory of the attorney general.

Wow. Condi-on-the-spot. That great squealing sound you hear emanating from the White House is the sound of a real corner being turned. I am so there.

My feeling of helplessness is somewhat reinforced by reading Leahy and Specter's note urging Gonzales to do a make-up test.

Clearly the bluff has been called. Gonzales came to the Hill without even a case, and what's Congress gonna do about it? Not much, probably.

What can it do?

It could impeach Cheney. You don't need the Senate and it's filibustering ways to impeach. This administration is not only criminal, it gives Congress the bird on a regular basis. The House should just go ahead and hold painful hearings on all of Cheney's wrongdoing (he is the president after all) and then impeach him.

Hey, that's pretty good for a Republican.

Is a liar, not a good one however, since a good memory is essential to be one.

Hmmm, let's see -- what is an EFFECTIVE way to loosen the tongue that doesn't violate anyone's human rights?

Wait a minute, I've got a foggy recollection of something in the news the last year or two -- what WAS that, anyway? I vaguely remember some sinister White House official with a strange scowl on his face admitting we had a really "useful" technique to drag confessions out of detainees.

Waterspouting, caterwauling, wetbacking, skateboarding -- no, none of those are quite right..

Oh, yeah -- WATERBOARDING!!! Maybe the Senate Sergeant-at-Arms could arrest AG Gonzalez and hold him at an undisclosed location (via extraordinary rendition, perhaps?) and EXTRACT the needed information in this universally acceptable manner.

I particulary loved the part where Leahy scratched out by April 27, 2007 and scrawled within a week, eerily reminding me of the Sharpies ads now appearing on your television screen.

It would have been nice if Leahy annotated the letter further, like maybe sticking a you fucking moron after: The questions asked by Senators hsould not have been a surprise . . .

I certainly look forward to a return appearance of Gonzo AGAG when he is unable to respond in writing in a timely manner. Maybe him and Condi, Andrew Card and Monica Goodling can car pool and save the taxpayers some dough when they double-date and haul their lying asses up the Hill to testify.

"It's a no-brainer"

-Dick Cheney

Probably the only thing that would work on these people is to impose fines. Sure, they'd probably set up a fund to get someone else to pay the fines, but at least they'd care about consequences.

I'm doubled over with laughter at the picture of Cheney with a halo and beams of light radiating from his pate atop MSNBC.com's story: "Democrats predict they can win Iraq vote."

Okay, so someone over there thinks the sun shines out of Cheney's tailpipe, but geez, whatever happened to subtlety? MSNBC is usually pretty fair and balanced, maybe it was an accident...either way it's pretty damn funny.

Over at msnbc.com that's a picture of Harry Reid, not Dick Cheney. They're both old white guys, but they don't look too similar to me. And that halo is the ceiling pattern, kind of questionable photo composition. I just did a quick Google check and couldn't find it, but I remember a photo of Condi Rice about a year or so ago at cnn, I think, where she was standing in front of some sort of seal or crest on the wall behind her. It made it appear as though she had angel wings. Wait a second, halos? wings? What is going on here?

Apologies, Jim. I see they have 2 photos at msnbc.com. One of Cheney, and one of Reid, both with the weird radiating halo background. So, I guess they are being "fair and balanced" as you said.

I know I have the Condi photo I mentioned saved on my pc at work. I'll post it tomorrow if anyone cares. Not a riveting topic, but kind of funny photos.

I knew that the Jesus-rays were an architectural feature of wherever Cheney was standing. I did not see Reid at the same podium (or whatever placed them both there). They both look a little foolish, IMO.

There is a relevant editorial about another instance in the US Attorneys scandal in today's NY Times.

Even though Gonzales might not have a very good memory the participants in these actions certainly do-and they keep winding up in the paper.

Gonzales better have a really good excuse why he can't remember anything about this entire affair when it appears that everyone else involved does.

But to cheer one up, it does note that there have been subpoenas issued for some very senior WH aides, and that is pretty omninous.

Ol' Alberto better have his resume ready, because he's gonna need it, once Monica Goodling gets immunity and starts talking...because the committee did issue a form of immunity to compel her testimony.

I bet her memory is going to be an vast improvement over Gonzales', with the threat of jail very implicit if she does not tell the truth.

I have a feeling this is going to get real nasty very quickly.

Come along and see the great dunder alberto with his "I don't knows"

A little classic by karly rove

Here are the cowboys jr and dick exploring the show "24"

The Geneva conventions studied without their pants on !

La la la, la la la, la la la, la la la

Oh Monica , oh Monica that encyclopodia,


Oh Monica the champ of them all.


She once swept a Priest clear off his feet.


The Crucifix's on her hips made his heart skip a beat.


And now the old boy's a pope in command of the flock,


For he went and married Lydia (for one night) .

I said Monica (He said Monica)


I said Monica (We said Monica)

La La!

Apologies or thanks belong to these two Irish white guys . Probably from the Krakow section of Eire Harold Arlen and Yip Harburg , Thanks !
