Insulting our intelligence
On the News Hour tonight, Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez gave us a clear example of the kind of double-talk that has this administration scraping the bottom of the approval ratings.
Smooth and well practiced in the art of obfuscation, the AG set the mood for the rest of the interview in which he steadfastly refused to give responsive answers.
On the heels of the speech in which the president tried to walk the tightrope between the two warring factions of his party (the greedy vs, the knee-jerk nationalists) Mr. Gonzalez's mealy-mouthed utterances illustrate a strategy that assumes that they can go back to successfully fooling a majority of the people most of the time, like in '04.
