Digby: Mechanical General

Glenn Greenwald watched the Gonzales hearing today so we don't have to. I'm glad I didn't because it sounds like the kind of testimony that invariably makes me want to put a boot through the televison set. It's a technique that the most closely aligned Bush sycophants have mastered, aping their fearless leader's stonewalling gibberish, eating up time, boring everyone with mindless platitudes until they finally just give up in suicidal despair of ever getting a straight answer. I call it the McClellan Curse, named for the robot puppy they called Scotty.
