John Ashcroft, who concealed the breast of the Spirit of Justice, reverses course today by exposing the naked partisanship of Jamie GoreLick on the 9-11 Commission.·

    Who first politicized 9-11?  Was it Bush who stood in the well of the Senate to demand answers to whether he had "known" about 9-11 "in advance"?  No.  It was Hillary Clinton.  Was it Bush who floated "an interesting theory" on National Public Radio that he had known in advance about the plans for the 9-11 attack?  No.  It was Howard Dean.  Was it Bush who claimed he had hatched the plan to invade Iraq in order to provide profits to his financial backers?  No.  It was Teddy Kennedy.  Was it Condoleeza Rice who falsely and deceitfully tried to convince a listening nation that an August 6, 2001, Presidential Daily Briefing (PDB) contained "warnings," which, if heeded, "could have prevented" 9-11?  No.  It was Richard Ben-Veniste and Jamie GoreLick, the most transparently partisan members of the 9-11 Commission.  

    The political posturing by GoreLick and Ben-Veniste now seem even more surreal in light of John Aschroft's revelation today of a 1995 memo authored by then Deputy Attorney General, Jamie GoreLick, seeking to strengthen the legal barriers in the sharing of intelligence information between the FBI and the CIA.  Will the dominant media focus a fraction of the attention on this pompous windbag's contribution to the problem rather than the solution as it focused on Ben-Veniste's and GoreLick's deceitful and spurious claims that the August 6, 2001 PDB contained "warnings" recklessly ignored by the Bush Administration?  Of course not unless and until the non-dominant media drags the dominant media kicking and screaming to do so.

    Will 60 Minutes feature a breathtaking "expose" on the hypocrisy of Jamie GoreLick's partisan pontificating about specks in the eyes of others while carrying a beam in her own eye?  Will NPR agonize over the intrinsically deceitful and nakedly partisan nature of her conduct as a member of the 9-11 Commission?  Will Howard Stern discuss her "naked" partisanship?  That would be a discussion about "nakedness" that might actually contribute to national enlightenment.  Will anyone in the dominant media ask whether her even being on the Commission is not a patent conflict of interest?  Will anyone in the media challenge the judgment and sincerity of whoever were the Democratic officials demanding or recommending her being named to the 9-11 Commission?

    To lovers of "the arts," Ashcroft did a great disservice when he installed curtains to conceal the bare breast of the Spirit of Justice statue, but today he did a great service to the lovers of truth when he exposed the naked partisanship of the pompously self-righteous Jamie GoreLick. Will anyone else in the media find it suitable to focus on her hypocrisy with a fraction of the venom with which they've focused on the absurd claims that Bush negligently "allowed" 9-11 to happen?  

    When will this political cannibalism, which surely must be encouraging, comforting and entertaining to bin Laden, et al, end?  Is it really likely that the 9-11 Commission's final report will make any recommendation that wasn't already self-evident to anyone applying a common-sense analysis to the structural factors that diminished, rather than enhanced, the chances that our intelligence services could detect a plot such as 9-11 in time to prevent it?  If you guessed "little or none," give yourself an "A."

Ashcroft Exposes Gorelick's Naked Partisanship.

Says Ashcroft, "That Clinton-Gore relic,
who sits as Commiss'ner Gorelick,
increased 'stead of lessened
the pre-Nine-Eleven
restrictions on means to foretell it.

By Leftists I first became hated
when bare-breasted views I abated
with curtains concealing
the statue revealing
her breast in a manner so naked.

Because claims Gorelick's conflated
that terror we "could've" abated,
I'm forced to expose
her partisan pose
revealing her motives so naked.

Says Ashcroft, "I'm forced to confide
where truth and distortion collide.
Of course I may blush;
however, I must
expose what she'd much rather hide."
