GOP's GAPs
Posted on 23/03/07 15:19
Attorneygate continues to chug along. We all know George and his administration are as guilty as shit is stinky. The only mystery and intrigue is - will they get away with some or all of it (again) this time? They obstructed justice by firing some attorneys that were working on cases against Republicans or that weren't working on enough cases against Democrats. Then they (Gonzales et. al.) obstructed justice further by lying about it. Now they're trying to obstruct justice even more by hiding evidence showing that they obstructed justice. Whew!
It seems there's an 18 day gap in the email and memo records generously supplied to Congress by the White House. The gap starts right after an email wondering if the president needs to be informed of the plan to fire the attorneys. We come back 18 days later with an email saying the decision has been made. Hmm. What could be in those missing docs? In case you're retarded, I'll spell it out....the preznint is implicated in these missing papers. ¿Que? ¿Quien? ¿Donde? That's right, he's the top deciderer in all this.
Reminds me of some other famouse gaps in GOP history. Remember the 18 1/2 minutes mysteriously erased from the Nixon tapes? How about the gaps between Oliver North's teeth as he shredded evidence on the weapons-for-hostages scandal with a smile on his face during the Reagan years? Then there's the gap in time when Gonzales conveniently forgot to tell the pentagon not to destroy evidence on the Plame investigation for several hours - giving them time to ... oh, I don't know - destroy evidence, maybe?
No wonder they don't want high officials like Gonzales and Miers testifying under oath or with any official record. They're going to have to lie or risk getting into deep shit. It's a lot easier to get caught lying when there's an official record of it. And it's a lot easier to convict someone of perjury or obstructing justice when they're under oath. But the preznint thinks we shouldn't get all politicky and formal about this and just let us have us some friendly chats about it to clear the whole sititation up. Like he and the Veep did for the Plamegate scandal. We all know how well that's worked out. They're all just chummy ol' frat boys havin' a good time.
