I think this marks the day I was most inspired to believe in my government's ability to function. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, or AGAG, is an insipid smug little bitch. And you know what? Chuck Shumer was having NONE OF THAT today. Case in point:
Oh yea, how's that feel? Let's ask one of the most conservative Republicans in the Senate, Mr. Coburn, what he thinks:
You know how the Bush admin loves to use the word "bipartisan" when something they want done has Lieberman's name on it? This is true bipartisanship. This is universal hatred and disgust from both parties about this guys smirky piece of shit testimony. With the exception, of course, of Orrin Hatch who's entire line of questioning consisted of "You're awesome right? Will you present to me your cock so that I may vigorously suck you off? No further questions"
I don't have video for that last one though.
PS: AGAG said "I do not recall" 77 times. He repeatedly stated, "I have searched my mind" approximately 3 times. What.

My Romp with Dennis Kucinich
10 minutes ago I was walking to work.
Lo, in the distance ahead, Dennis Kucinich approached. He was talking on his blackberry and obviously had no time for me. So as we passed, I plucked the headphones from my ears and uttered, "I'm looking forward to those articles of impeachment you're filing."
You see, next week Kucinich plans on filing articles of impeachment against Dick Cheney for High Crimes and Misdemeanors.
Kucinich stopped, an expression of surprise streaking across his face. "Thank you, sir," he said. It was in this moment that our eyes met. I had a feeling that we were both imagining what our lives together could be like. We could traipse hand-in-hand down Pennsylvania Avenue while he told me about his Department of Peace idea and I could nod in exuberant admiration of his vision for America. I'd tell him about my hopes and dreams and he would pat me on the shoulder and tell me, "all in due time, young one."
Instead, he kept walking and apologized to his caller for being interrupted. I resumed listening to The Yeah Yeah Yeahs and walked on. Other than that fat bastard Tester, that was my first D.C. celebrity sighting.

I scoop no one.
Looks like the DoJ thing isn't panning out. Here's a picture of Senator Arlen Spector's new magazine then.
