Disgraced former Attorney General Albert Gonzales gave a speech at the University of Florida Monday night. Unfortunately for Gonzales, he was not afforded the luxury his former boss has in only speaking to friendlies, as the First Amendment was on full display at the event (the jump suit of the guy in the video says “Civil Liberties”). (This is off-topic, but leave it to the main-stream-media, in this case CNN, to tie this story in with the student taser incident a few months ago at a John Kerry event—what does this event have to do with the other? Nothing, except the MSM can blow past stories that actually matter, like torture and civil liberties, and instead report on silly, fluff stories.)
The former AG said in his speech about the Bush Administration:
It will take years for the entire story to be told. We know the first manuscripts of administrations are often incomplete, and they can be inaccurate, and they have to be discarded.
Yes, he’s exactly right on this one. It will take years to hear the entire story of what went on in this administration. The “first manuscript” of this administration is incomplete because we’re only being told what they want us to hear. Expect more stories like this one from former White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan (on the Valerie Plame case):
I had unknowingly passed along false information. And five of the highest ranking officials in the administration were involved in my doing so: Rove, Libby, the vice President, the President’s chief of staff, and the president himself.
