Lying is bad… except when we do it.
It looks like Asshat Attorney General Alberto Gonzales is finally going to be held accountable for his lies:
The head of the FBI contradicted Attorney General Alberto Gonzales’ sworn testimony and Senate Democrats requested a perjury investigation Thursday in a fresh barrage against President Bush’s embattled longtime friend and aide.
In a third blow to the Bush administration, the Senate Judiciary Committee issued subpoenas to compel the testimony of Karl Rove, Bush’s chief political adviser, in connection with its investigation.
“It has become apparent that the attorney general has provided at a minimum half-truths and misleading statements,” four Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee wrote in a letter to Solicitor General Paul Clement calling for a special counsel to investigate.
“I’m convinced that he’s not telling the truth,” added Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev.
I thought that the Republicans were supposed to be good, upstanding, God-fearing people who were going to “restore integrity” to the White House. Isn’t “bearing false witness” one of the ten things that you’re Really Not Supposed To Do ™, according to a certain set of religious laws that Republicans keep trying to cram into our courthouses?
