This top official in the Justice Department, who serves as its liaison to the White House, is now refusing to answer any congressional questions about the US attorneys scandal. You know, the one in which George and Dick and Karl and Alberto have been hiring and firing federal prosecutors based on their willingness to politicize the legal system. That scandal (it’s so hard to keep track of them these days).<\/p>\n

Her lawyer says that Goodling doesn’t actually have anything to hide, but rather that “\u201c just like the judicial travesty that recently took down Scooter Libby “\u201c a “hostile and questionable environment” has surrounded the case. As opposed to the good kind of investigations, you see, where the White House doesn’t bother to answer the friendly questions that Congress and the press don’t bother to ask. You know, like the last six years or so.<\/p>\n

So Goodling’s lawyer has just announced that his client will be invoking her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination “\u201c even though, mind you, she didn’t do anything wrong! “\u201c rather than testifying to Congress.<\/p>\n

Fifth Amendment? Fifth Amendment? You mean like, the Bill of Rights? That Fifth Amendment?<\/p>\n

Doesn’t she know that the Fifth Amendment has been suspended?<\/p>\n
