White House, Like Nation, Not Listening to Arlen Specter
Tuesday, July 31st, 2007
Yesterday Arlen Specter told everyone that he wouldn’t comment on Alberto Gonzales until Tuesday afternoon, when the White House would send him a very special letter explaining that Gonzo didn’t lie about anything. Specter gave the White House until noon to deliver this letter, which would be full of fun surprises and he’d release it to the media for all of us to enjoy. It’s a little after three now, and the funny thing is, there’s no letter!
According to Leahy’s office, the letter hasn’t arrived yet. No one knows yet if this is because the administration is refusing to comply or because they’re just really backed up right now and they’ll get to it later. Probably the first one, though.
Specter hasn’t said what he’s going to do about this yet, but if past performance is any indication, he’ll kinda bitch about it and then he’ll roll right over.
We’ve taken the liberty of writing our own letter, so Arlen doesn’t feel so bad about being ignored.
