Aw, C'MON...! You expect us to BELIEVE this...?

i did NOT just fall off the turnip truck... i may be getting old, but i'm not getting more STUPID... i may have been born at night, but it wasn't LAST night...

Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales and senior advisers discussed the plan to remove seven United States attorneys at a meeting last Nov. 27, 10 days before the dismissals were carried out, according to a Justice Department calendar entry disclosed Friday.

The previously undisclosed meeting appeared to contradict Mr. Gonzales’s previous statements about his knowledge of the dismissals. He said at a news conference on March 13 that he had not participated in any discussions about the removals, but knew in general that his aides were working on personnel changes involving United States attorneys.

Tasia Scolinos, a Justice Department spokeswoman, told reporters on Friday evening that Mr. Gonzales’s attendance at the hourlong meeting was not inconsistent with his past remarks.

“He tasked his chief of staff to carry this plan forward,” Ms. Scolinos said. “He did not participate in the selection of the U.S. attorneys to be fired. He did sign off on the final list.”

so, no attorneys names were mentioned... no states were mentioned... no reasons for dismissal were mentioned... no possible replacements were put forward... no performance expectations for the newcomers were reviewed... no discussion was held about where the white house stood on the matter... and, most incredible of all, the attorney general of the united states, the man in charge, the one ultimately accountable for everything that goes on in the justice department, george bush's man on the scene, didn't participate in the selection of the final list... THAT, my friends, is a pile of bullshit stacked to record-breaking heights... it'll be VERY interesting to hear what mr. sampson has to say under oath...

"Mr. Sampson looks forward to answering the Committee's questions," the letter reads. "We trust that his decision to do so will satisfy the need of the Congress to obtain information from him concerning the requested resignations of the United States Attorneys."
