A college widow stood for something in those days. In fact, she stood for plenty.

Lindsey Graham questioning Alberto Gonzales is like a doberman questioning Groucho Marx. Graham relies heavily on weird mixed metaphor and fake outrage and Gonzales is so adept at Republican obfuscation and equivication that nothing of subtance is actually said. We don't get clarity, we get slobbering and surrealism. In fact, I would much prefer it if American political discourse would more closely resemble the first few minutes of Horse Feathers. At least I'd be laughing when the nukes arrive. And now that you've had your morning dose of alarmist oversimplification, enjoy the rest of your day.
