This is nothing but political posturing and grandstanding.

True, but I figure a few more high level indictments and the administration will realize that posturing and grandstanding won’t work anymore.

No way! Bolivia has monkeys! Monkeys which will surely greet our troops by throwing flowers, or something.

Turkey has no monkeys. In fact, Turkey doesn’t even have turkeys.

It doesn’t!? We should demand our money back.

Man, I haven’t been this disappointed since I found out they don’t speak Latin in Latin America.

Bush: I didn’t do nuthin!
Congress: This looks improper.
Bush: I didn’t do nuthin and I ain’t sayin nuthin and none of my friends would lie about it so they don’t have to promise to tell the truth!
Congress: Yes they do.
Bush: You can’t make me!
Congress: Don’t make me make you!
Bush: Nonny, nonny boo boo!
You know, Bush’s whole attitude about the firings reminds me of a Will Rogers quote. Something along the lines of “If stupidity got us into this, stupidity can get us out!”

In Karl Rove’s defense, he cannot safely testify under oath, since he would immediately burst into flames upon laying his hand on a Bible.

BTW, last night’s Daily Show used a variation of this joke.

Also posted in the Great Debates thread, They will testify, but not under oath…

This just in: Kyle Sampson, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales’ former chief of staff, has agreed to testify under oath before the Senate Judiciary Committee on the firings of eight U.S. attorneys, his lawyer said in a letter to the committee chairman Friday.

“Mr. Sampson looks forward to answering the committee’s questions,” Bradford Berenson said in a two-paragraph letter. “We trust that his decision to do so will satisfy the need of the Congress to obtain information from him concerning the requested resignations of the United States attorneys.”

Sampson, one of several officials who faced a possible subpoena to testify, will appear voluntarily before the committee at 10 a.m. Thursday.

An interesting tidbit from that article:

Dick Armey, the Republican former House majority leader who now is chairman of the conservative activist “Freedom Works” organization in Washington, said Thursday that President Bush is on “thin ice” in claiming executive privilege.

He added that it is “hard for me to imagine that Karl Rove has any matters of information that are so important to the nation’s security or its ability to conduct the business of our government that there’s any reason he shouldn’t testify.”

Rats? Sinking ship? What next?

I’ve noticed a few times recently when Armey’s said stuff that indicates he’s off the reservation.

Meanwhile, back on the Gonzo front:

WASHINGTON - Attorney General Alberto Gonzales approved plans to fire several U.S. attorneys in a November meeting, according to documents released Friday that contradict earlier claims that he was not closely involved in the dismissals.

The Nov. 27 meeting, in which the attorney general and at least five top Justice Department officials participated, focused on a five-step plan for carrying out the firings of the prosecutors, Justice Department officials said late Friday.

Toast.

Because they lowered taxes. Really, that makes up for any number of dead foreigners, don’t it?
