another Snow job
Tony Snow’s presser yesterday (on potential contempt of Congress charges for two administration officials, Josh Bolten and Harriet Miers) was nothing unusual, save for this shovelful of bullshit:
Everybody has been made available. You have not been denied a shred of information.
How, exactly, does that square with the White House’s commandment to Miers to ignore a Congressional subpoena, or with Bolten’s refusal to turn over requested documents? Thankfully, a member of our starting-to-do-their-job-again press corps called him on it:
Tony, you said you've made everybody available and everything available, when it comes to the intelligence. But you haven't made everybody available. You've made them available if they go without the oath, if they go without the transcript, and if they go in private. But you haven't even made the documents available; you've only made the documents available that aren't the documents that they want. You won't make the documents available that they do want. [emphasis added]
He offered the standard evasive doubletalk, but the point had been made.
Many people in this lawless administration should be out on the street, and this should happen before 01-20-2009.
