he cant recollect what he recollects recollecting

Just a coincidence, didn't have anything better to do at DOJ than add U.S. Attorneys to the to-be-fired list. Nothing to do with not indicting any Dems before Election Day.

Suddenly now he remembers what day he was added?

OK, some questions:

How does he know he was added that day? Did he see a list? Was somebody showing him a list day-to-day as it changed? Who showed him the list?

And, of course, if he knows what day Iglesias was added, how can he not know _who_ put him on the list?

Here's a question I wish someone would ask Gonzo -

"Mr. Attorney General, earlier today you said you had no additional recollections to add to your original testimony before this committee. Clearly the news that Mr. Iglesias was added to the firing list on Election Day is news to us. So the question is, did you just happen to recall that little detail or did you perjure yourself this morning when you said you had no additional recollections to add?"

I love bread...

Targeted officials- 85% Democratic, 12% Republican
But perish the thought that there is politicization in the Justice Department. The Dems really stepped it up in this second session- I give them a solid B overall.

Wait a minute. AG AG says he wasn't involved in making the list, that he could not even remember the meeting when he approved the list but now he lets slip that he can remember the very day that Iglesias was added to the list (i.e., election day). Seems to me that AG is admitting that HE decided to add Iglesias to the list *on Election Day* (the reason being political pressure from Dominici and/or Rove).

What he meant to say was that Karl didn't show him the list until the day after Election Day. So he assumed the list was revised the day before. A simple misunderstanding ... of the Constitution.

Geez, isn't anybody in Texas scared that this guy is gonna go home in 2009 and be a bigshot Texas lawyer?

Adding Iglesias to the list "on election day" covers for both Domenici and Rove, who had a conversation "sometime after the election" about Domenici's desire that Rove be fired.

Thing is, it's stupid. How can someone who professes to know nothing about a list or how it was made or who put people on it somehow suddenly remember that a specific person was placed there on a specific day?

Doubt, as in I seriously doubt this story.

Toast and Crumbs.

That's how Iglesias got on the list. Someone had a piece of toast that they couldn't eat on election day because the profile of George Bush had appeared on the toast, as if by a miracle. The list was offered up to the toast, and a sprinkling of breadcrumbs showered down upon the list and lo, the name Iglesias sprung forth, like unto a Slinky, springing from step to step.

Or at least, something that looked like an I and maybe an l or an s.

In any event, this explains how Iglesias' name appeared on the list and how Gonzales lost his breadcrumbs.

Over time, the profile of George Bush rearranged itself into a depiction of the President's hands. The toast was then framed and given to Josh Bolten. Which explains why everyone is so confused - no one at DOJ has the toast anymore.
