The CarpetBagger had 2 great posts yesterday on Alberto Gonzales. Leaks to the Washington Post and New York Times seem to show how the White House is going to try to spin Alberto out of his current mess. They are trying to say that Alberto was talking about the questionable data mining operation and not the domestic spying program. The argument has so many holes in it you can drive a truck thru it.

Alberto Gonzales personifies truthiness (coined by Stephen Colbert). There is a speck of truth in most of what he says therefore it is very hard to call everything he says a lie. It appears that he nailed himself last week in front of the Senate Judiciary committee. Last week was just the end of a long line of questionable testimony. There has to be a limit to amount of truthiness that the Senators are willing to put up with.
