\"AdultIn today’s White House press briefing<\/a>, Tony Snow had some interesting comments regarding the testimony of Karl Rove and other Bush cronies and their involvement in GonzoGate: The Fired U.S. Attorneys Affair.<\/p>\n

Question:<\/strong> We spoke with the Senate Judiciary Committee and the House Judiciary Committee. Senate says there is no precedent for having an official of this nature come and speak to the Committee without a transcript. The House also says they can’t find any precedent. Why should this case set a precedent?<\/span><\/p>\n

Snow:<\/strong> Well, the fact is what they’re trying to do is to establish their own set of precedents. What we’re trying to do is to set a precedent for adult behavior in a way that is going to reflect well on a situation and offer an opportunity.<\/span><\/p>\n

What do you suppose Snow means by “adult behavior?”<\/em> And whom is he calling childish? Members of Congress? The American people? All that is being asked is that Rove and Co. testify under oath and in public. To resist this suggests that you intend to lie and\/or have something to hide. But the White House is resisting and even insisting that the “interview”<\/em> take place behind closed doors, no oath be given, and no transcript taken. When Democrats balk at this Skull & Bones<\/a> approach to governing, Snow impunes their maturity. He later portrays this blatant stonewalling as a gift…<\/p>\n

“I can’t imagine a more generous offer.”<\/span><\/p>\n

He has a pretty sorry imagination. Or maybe he just thinks that telling the truth is obscene and should be subject to censorship.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
