My son Robert told me why last night: the Justice Department is stuffed full of smart lawyers who gave up potentially lucrative careers because they were born to be prosecutors. They’re furious that Ashcroft, Gonzales, and Mukasey called them off of the biggest crimes of their generation, the crimes of the Bush administration.

Makes you proud to be an American.

Well,be thankful he didn’t grope her.

Bob http://blog.crispen.org/?p=1119 The White House and the right-wing blogosphere have an explanation for Scott McClellan’s book making the news: ‘lib-ruhl media bias.”

Hey, keep those new ideas coming, guys.

As Spring turns into Summer  there’s a real Canary or two who may sing, and  they’re arguably not covered by executive privilege. Keep a happy thought.
