On the T.V. show, 'The Sin and the Sinful,' White House continues to fall back in the incompetence mode.
After the incident, there were recriminations over what Comey portrayed as an attempt by Bush's top lawyer and chief of staff to "take advantage" of a very ill man. Comey didn't tell the Senate panel that the bad feelings were stoked even more the next morning when White House officials explained the hospital visit by saying Gonzales and Card were unaware that Comey was acting A.G. (and therefore the only person authorized to sign off on the surveillance program), according to a former senior DOJ official who requested anonymity talking about internal matters. Top DOJ officials were furious, the source said. Just days earlier, Justice's chief spokesman had publicly said Comey would serve as "head of the Justice Department" while Ashcroft was ill. Justice officials had also faxed over a document to the White House informing officials of this. When a Gonzales aide claimed the counsel's office could find no record of it, DOJ officials dug out a receipt showing the fax had been received. "People were disgusted as much as livid," said the DOJ official. "It was just the dishonesty of it." A Gonzales aide at the time (who asked not to be ID'd talking about internal matters) said there was a "miscommunication" and "genuine confusion" over who was in charge.
From Carpet Bagger Report:
Oh, you mean when the Attorney General is incapacitated due to a serious health problem, the Deputy Attorney General temporarily serves in his place? Who would have ever even imagined such an inconceivable scenario? How could the White House Chief of Staff and WH Counsel possibly be expected to think of such a far-fetched idea?
Please. There’s fibbing, there’s lying, and there’s this explanation.

Yes, the Gerbil in chief is standing behind his man Alberto, I heard parts of it on news radio.
Thanks, Chicago Native!
I didn't want to to bother hearing the Gerbil talking gerbilspeak about Gonzo. He said the same crapola speech about Rummy and Spitman and look what happend to both of them. It is a matter of time to when Gonzo will be gone. It is the matter of which crime that Gonzo committed will nail him for good.
Does he have family he needs to spend more time with? How about his troubled sister, maybe doing another intervention for coke use?
"How about his troubled sister, maybe doing another intervention for coke use?"
LMAO! That was shock to me about learning about his sister. Gonzo is just a tragic figure. He reminds me Othello the Moor. Othello listened and persuaded by Iago that Othello's wife Desdemona was unfaithful to him and that Othello should punish her. Gonzo was propped up like a puppet and was given his title. And this is the price that he will pay for forgetting who he is and selling his soul to the Gerbil.
