Rachel Maddow's take on Mukasey's tears of a clown.


Crooks and Liars:

On Tuesday’s Countdown, Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow dig deeper into what was either a series of lies from the AG or an admission of gross negligence on the part of the Bush Administration leading up to that tragic day.

Mukasey claimed that the U.S. received a phone call from a terrorist safe house in Afghanistan prior to 9/11, but couldn’t trace the call because the FISA laws were too restrictive — which is, of course, a lie. Mukasey was a Federal Judge, he knows that. Olbermann says that someone in the House or Senate needs to haul the Attorney General in and question him and find out whether he was lying to make a political point, or if the Bush administration really did receive such a call and chose not to act on it, leaving the country vulnerable to attack.

Maddow:”…Oh please, just let him have just been lying, because if he was telling the truth here, if there really was a call from a known al Qaeda safe house in Afghanistan to the United States before 9/11 which the Bush Administration did not tap and trace? That is huge news and we ought to get some answers about why we were left so unprotected and surprised on 9/11. Let’s hope that he was just making that up.”

Why do Republicans cry when their lying. I know Boner Boy can't help it but now Musk Rat is crying and lying as he tells a story with the wrong names. While Musk Rat is doing his traveling crying show for support the Deputy Dough Boy is working hard to kick Musk Rat out of his job. Now as we see the real criminals are part of the Bush Administration. Yes the Feds are investigating everyone but the real criminals. Musk Rat had a great respected career until he sold his soul to Satan Cheney for so kick backs. Musk Rat is a laughing stock to the Legal System. You wont hear a law student say they want to grow up to be like Musk Rat. He is making a complete fool of himself and that will be his legacy.
