Yes. But the Administration should NOT be disparaging Ashcroft for releasing the Gorelick memos.

Maybe the Whitehouse had plans to use the memos in a manner that did not include public disclosure. I can imagine a scenario where some deputy undersecretary's aide has a private conversation with the commission members vis-a-vis the memos. It actually might have had more impact on the commission to do it privately than to allow the biased media to run interference for them. Usual human nature is to fear the unknown more than the known. If it had been done as a private matter, the commission members would fear what might happen if it became public.

So Kerrey frolics on Comedy Central's The Daily Show and Kean yuks it up with Imus.

I cannot take these clowns seriously.

I intended to post my belief that the left-right divide is well beyond settling peacefully but I guess these matters are just things to amuse our "ruling class." They do not respect us as citizens. We are just an audience to be entertained. I am going to take some rotten tomatoes with me from now on when I vote.

Interesting take on the issue. However, I don't think this administration is into this type of devious manipulation. They appear to be much more straight forward in their actions.
