Abu Gonzales, Consiglieri to the Stars (Updated) 2
I said earlier
They have lost the capacity to surprise me, even as they try to roust a sick old man from his bed in ICU:
In vivid testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee yesterday, Comey said he alerted FBI Director Robert S. Mueller III and raced, sirens blaring, to join Ashcroft in his hospital room, arriving minutes before Gonzales and Card. Ashcroft, summoning the strength to lift his head and speak, refused to sign the papers they had brought. Gonzales and Card, who had never acknowledged Comey’s presence in the room, turned and left.
And, as the local rag pointed out yesterday
Dick Polman wonders who dispatched Gonzales and Card on their mission:
Of course he’s not going to talk about it. He might accidently say something that’s not a lie, and then what would he do?
It’s time to bring back HUAC and let them target those who are truly Un-American.
Jon Stewart sums it up (via Dan Froomkin):
Stewart shows Sen. Charles Schumer’s reaction: “The story is a shocking one. It makes you almost gulp.”
To which Stewart responds: “ALMOST? ALMOST GULP? What is it going to take to make you actually gulp? Do these guys have to sodomize the Declaration of Independence in front of you?”
God help us all.
Addendum, Later That Same Evening.
Delaware Liberal has an idea about how to get truthful testimony from Abu.
Use Enhanced Interrogation Techniques. Whaddya say? Sauce for the goose?

It’s worth all of this just to see liberals making a victim out of John Ashcroft.

Monica Goodling got amnesty, so we’ll hear her two cents worth now. It ought to be good.
