Building bridges in Alaska to save Terry Schiavo from gay flag-burners
Nobody says it like Jon Stewart ...
"There's another big controversy in Washington over whether or not the Justice Department fired eight United States attorneys for not being malleable enough to this administration.
In January, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales addressed the issue [on screen: Gonzales saying, 'I would never, ever make a change in the United States attorney position for political reasons']. Never ever! ... No, wait. Not ever. Wait. What's the word for when you do something periodically? Sometimes. ... A flat out denial from Gonzales.
You know, in the good old days, that would have been the end of the story. The Republican Congress would have said, 'Huh? What? You didn't? Okay,' and gone back to building bridges in Alaska to save Terry Schiavo from gay flag-burners.
But now, the opposition party controls Congress and they can perform a very complicated legal maneuver known as 'asking for things'"
