Pay no attention the monkey behind the curtain while I raise the terror alert to Yellower

What kind of moron breaks laws he fucking helped CREATE and then acts like he did nothing wrong?

Oh. Right. The ATTORNEY GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. That's one special kind of moron, y'all.

My favorite part of the article....

Under the Homeland Security Act of 2002 and Bush administration rules, only the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) can publicly issue threat warnings, and they must be approved in a complex interagency process involving the White House. Administration officials sympathetic to Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge said he was not informed Ashcroft was going to characterize the threat in that way -- an assertion that Justice officials deny.

Um. Is any one else a little nervous about the fact that the people who are supposed to keep us safe have NO EARTHLY idea about what each other are doing? Hellloooooooooooooooooo?

I mean, I think both of them are assholes, okay? But Asscroft is the surpreme RULER of assholes. It's just another incident that shows the arrogance and lack of respect this administration thrives on. Why in the world would Ridge have a press conference and say what he did if he knew Ashcroft was going to come out the next day and say something different? And the fact that the HEAD OF HOMELAND SECURITY was not invited to Asscroft's little spin stunt press conference makes his denial of the DHS claims he acted without their knowledge just ridiculous. They honestly believe they can get away with anything. And the sad thing? THEY DO!

HATE! THOUSAND BURNING SUNS!
