We're not talking about it . . . well, I mean, unless we want to talk about it.

MR. McCLELLAN: Yes, again, those questions came up back in October of 2003 and I addressed them at the time.
Q May I ask one follow-up?
MR. McCLELLAN: You may. Go ahead.
Q I know that none of you are speaking about this because it's an ongoing investigation. Can you explain why Alberto Gonzales would go on TV yesterday and do that, and talk about it?
MR. McCLELLAN: Well, what he said was already said from this podium back in October of 2003, and I don't think he got into commenting in any substantive way on the discussion. But the President has said that we will be glad to talk about this once the investigation has come to a conclusion, but not until then. And there have certainly been preferences expressed to the White House that we not get into discussing it while it is ongoing.

I used to think these guys were cagey and operated on the same page. There appears to be a lot more confusion in this Admin than I thought. Clearly, the marching order memos aren't getting around. Or maybe they're smart enough to realize no one gives a damn what that fat twit says at press briefings?
The Bush Administration, confounding us for five years with the never ending curiosity.... "Lucky idiots or brilliant devious bastards?"
I think both. Perhaps they are divinely guided. If they are, lovely. God loves a scheming inmbecile. Maybe I will get to heaven after all... |
