Anyone else watch these herrings today. My god, but this guy has to be the biggest liar ever in In Our American Government History. And I mean both sides of the isle are shaking there heads.
Our Attorney General Today
- Thread starter djv
- Start date
As Sen. Dianne Feinstein said to Gonzalez: "I've never heard comments and questions like those I'm hearing today from both sides of the aisle......Then I listen to your responses, which are nonresponses....No question is answered directly. Everything is obfuscated."
The Senators, from both sides, scream because they think they deserve solicitous servitude---but this White House doesn't think that, and Gonzalez is expertly doing just what his bosses want.
This White House has an extremely expansive view of Executive Power and believes previous Presidents have eroded the office by giving in too much to congressional oversight and letting the Senate exercise too much perogitive over the executive branch. As Dahlia Lithwick wrote at Slate Magazine:
...all of it tots up to a masterful display of the perfect contempt felt by the Bush executive branch for this Congress and its pretensions of oversight. In the plainest sense, Gonzales elevated the Bush legal doctrine of "Because I said so" into a public spectacle.
Viewed in that light, Gonzales did exactly what he needed to do... He took a high, inside pitch to the head for the team (nobody wants to look like a dolt on national television) but hit a massive home run for the notion that at the end of the day, congressional oversight over the executive branch is little more than empty theatre.

I hope when Hillary becomes President
I hope when Hillary becomes President
when the Whitehouse books are opened for all to see what these guys have been up to the last 8 years. To go after these guys, Bush will no longer be in office to cover their @sses. I hope most go to jail

Report: Man with Almost No Brain Has Led Normal Life
Wednesday, July 25, 2007
French doctors are amazed that a 44-year-old civil servant with an abnormally small brain has led a normal life with a slightly lower than normal IQ, according to a report on Physorg.com.
Doctors said the father of two went to the Hopital de la Timone in Marseille with mild weakness in his left leg. He was given a CT scan and an MRI, which showed that his cerebral cavities or ventricles had massively expanded, according a case history to be published in Saturday's Lancet.
"The brain itself, meaning the grey matter and white matter, was completely crushed against the sides of the skull," Dr. Lionel Feuillet told AFP. "The images were most unusual... the brain was virtually absent."

The condition is called Dandy Walker complex and is a genetically sporadic disorder that occurs in one out of every 25,000 live births, mostly in females. Although many with Dandy Walker develop dramatic symptoms from the condition, such as an enlarged skull, jerky muscle movements and problems with the nerves that control the face, the condition also can develop unnoticed.
Doctors believe this man's condition could stem from surgery he had at the age of 6 months, when he suffered hydrocephalus or water on the brain and needed an operation to drain a buildup of spinal fluid.
Subsequent tests have revealed that the man has an IQ of 75, with a verbal IQ of 84 and performance IQ of 70. The bulk of people in society have a minimum IQ of 85.

What he is saying is that no matter what this administration does and how corrupt it is, it will always be okay with him because when he adds two and two, he gets five. Since i have been here there has never been somebody proved so wrong, time and time again, yet thinks he is smarter than everyone else. :shrug: Its called the red state mentality. What we have DJV it is called fuked up fatigue. This administrations on a daily basis fuks up something and we are all fatigued keeping up with it. We DJV have a bad case of fuked up fatique and it seems like a lot of the country is catching it. Now the disease DTB has basically stays in the red states.
