Can somebody get me a link ..... A.G. not under oath?

[Botany]

i just read that Alberto G. was not placed under oath.
Is that true and is there a link to that story?

Thanx.

1. It's true and C-span should have it on video on their site. n/t

[npincus]

2. Not under oath? Why f*cking bother.

[JHB]

4. For the show, of course...

...just another "thing we used to point to in how the Soviets did things, and why we were better" that has become Chimperial standard practice.

9. Chimperial - I love that word!

5. Link, shmink--he ain't under oath, I saw the exchange and was horrified

I foolishly thought only fatcat jerks like Ted 'Bridge to Nowhere' Stevens pulled that kind of shit.

The whole exercise is a total JOKE, when the AG isn't insisting upon taking the oath...so much for the rule of law....

6. Link -- The NYT featured this AP story, now it's not on their site

As usual, ended up at the Guardian for the link:

Monday's hearing got off to a rocky start when Republicans and Democrats disagreed over whether Gonzales should be sworn in. Democrats said he should, but Specter said it wasn't necessary.

He wasn't. ``My answers would be the same whether I was under oath or not,'' Gonzales told the panel.

10. Oh, well, then that makes it all right............

because we all know every member of the bush administration can be totally trusted to always tell the truth. If you couldn't tell, this is biting, fucking :sarcasm:

The hate I hold for these people knows no limit. :mad:
