Attorney General Michael Mukasey said Tuesday... "not every wrong, or even every violation of the law, is a crime. In this instance, the two joint reports found only violations of the civil service laws."I'll use that as my defense if I ever get arrested... should work, eh?
Of course those strong armed Democrats were on the ball with a public tongue lashing:
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy said Mukasey "seems intent on insulating this administration from accountability."After Leahy's wag of the finger, I could swear I saw a picture of bu$h doing a tex-ass jig... no, that was only in my head, I guess. But Beelzebub did say in his most hideous voice, "I have many more crimes to commit before I leave office!"
The Vermont Democrat said Mukasey's remarks "appear premature based on the facts and evidence that congressional investigators and the inspector general have uncovered so far" in the hiring scandal. "We must continue to pursue the truth and facts, and hold any wrongdoers accountable," Leahy said.

Funny, when Colbert wags his finger, it seems more powerful than when Leahy does it.
Power of TV, coyote.
Power of Colbert you mean!
What the fuck does it take for our government to work? *head down, totally disgusted*
Sadly, SoS, I'm beginning to wonder whether it ever worked at all. This is just how gov't dysfunctions in the new century. But once everyone realizes that laws don't mean shit anymore, a lotta people are gonna die.
