Jim at Irregular Times has written a letter to his local newspaper clarifying Attorney General Alberto Gonzales’ recent congressional testimony and the Bush administration’s stifling of the investigation – of itself. I unashamedly quote:
Dear Editor:
I’m trying desperately to get a grip on recent events inside Washington. After the world found out that George W. Bush had been ordering surveillance on Americans without any warrants, the Office of Professional Responsibility in the Justice Department (part of the Bush administration) declared its intention to investigate the origin and legality of this program. We found out the OPR investigation would go nowhere after the Bush administration wouldn’t grant the necessary security clearances for the Bush administration’s investigation of itself. This week, it came out that George W. Bush denied the security clearances himself.
So what it boils down to is that George W. Bush has informed the Bush administration that it cannot investigate George W. Bush because even the Bush administration itself doesn’t have, thanks to George W. Bush, the necessary clearance to investigate George W. Bush. Have I got that straight?
Yes – I reckon that straightens it out.
Oh good I’m not the only one that thought that sounded a little screwy! I won’t even go into his veto logic.
He applies logic?
ok maybe logic was a bad choice of words!
and the cycle continues on and on and on. Americans fault for electing a monkey as president
I think a monkey could do better you know.
Fun stuff – the irony shines through!
I’m very sorry that mr. Bush is such a hypocrite – USA deserves way better. Monkey business apparently is a Bush specialty. I’m not sure the comparison is fair to monkeys in general though!
Anyway, BIG BIG thanks to the author of this site for excellent content – not least the WP plugs – I’ve just discovered the site and imo it really shines though what open source is all about and I’m going to return frequently.
Cheers!
@Mads:
Why – thank you kindly…
