Mr. Comey's Tale......from WaPo

[spanone]

~snip~
JAMES B. COMEY, the straight-as-an-arrow former No. 2 official at the Justice Department, yesterday offered the Senate Judiciary Committee an account of Bush administration lawlessness so shocking it would have been unbelievable coming from a less reputable source. The episode involved a 2004 nighttime visit to the hospital room of then-Attorney General John D. Ashcroft by Alberto Gonzales, then the White House counsel, and Andrew H. Card Jr., then the White House chief of staff. Only the broadest outlines of this visit were previously known: that Mr. Comey, who was acting as attorney general during Mr. Ashcroft's illness, had refused to recertify the legality of the administration's warrantless wiretapping program; that Mr. Gonzales and Mr. Card had tried to do an end-run around Mr. Comey; that Mr. Ashcroft had rebuffed them.

1. "Lawlessness so shocking"

Yep, but that won't stop the Post's editorial page from gushing about the bestest president ever, and his talented administration of superheroes who keep us safe from the World Crime League. And for that, Americans should be on their knees in gratitude and what's all this silly talk about impeachment anyway? You're a dirty fucking hippie!
