Those Zany Attorneys General…

I just taped a commentary for the NPR show Day To Day that suggests the main role of the U.S. attorney general is to act as a continuous source of embarrassment and scandal for the president, a role that Alberto Gonzales has filled to a tee even before his confirmation hearings got started today.

Day to Day typically airs from noon to 1pm eastern time. You can find out where it's at on your local dial by going here. The audio for the show will be archived here by about 3pm ET.

For the latest on Gonzo, go here. Torture's definitely out, he's saying now, but extreme tickling may be in.

Of course, Gonzales disavows torture...

The only people still arguing for torture, or that torture is a question of intensity, are interested lawyers, philosophers and Republican propaganda victims who can't keep up with the news cycle.

Seesh..has it gotten to the point where you can't even get a rise out of--I'm not sure what else to call them--pro-torture people by calling them Republican propaganda victims anymore?

I'm making fun of RPVs! You're all out of sych with the news cycle...you're defending the Bush Adminstration on positions they've long abandoned...HelllloooOOOoooo?

The people you're defending don't even hold your position anymore! --how do you fee about that? C'mon, tell me it's all about extremes! Is that an optical illusion, or is carpet moving below your feet?

...Who pulled the rug out?

P.S *clink* *clink* *clink* WarrEEiors...Come out to PlayEay...*clink* *clink*

I'm embarrased for you, but not for the usual reason.
