I saw none of the Goodling testimony, but I thought this might be interesting to those of you who did, from Paul Kiel:

During her testimony today, Monica Goodling pointed the finger squarely at Deputy Attorney General Paul McNulty, saying that he had not been "fully candid" in his testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee about his knowledge of White House involvement in the U.S. attorney firings (McNulty had earlier pointed the finger at Sampson and Goodling for not informing him of the White House's role).

. . . Here's a statement just out from McNulty, via the Department of Justice:

“I testified truthfully at the Feb. 6, 2007, hearing based on what I knew at that time. Ms. Goodling's characterization of my testimony is wrong and not supported by the extensive record of documents and testimony already provided to Congress.”

Sounds like the ship be sinkin'

    Didn't Gonzales Turn on McNulty Last Week? (none / 0) (#1)

    Sounds to me like Gonzales and Goodling may be sticking together with both blaming McNulty.

    Although Goodling's testimony about Gonzales' sharing of his recollections with her doesn't sound too good for him either.

    They both collaborate to shield the White House from any scrutiny.

    Is being thrown overboard. Goodling was less than candid herself. Something tells me that she is still a valuable asset for the Bushies and they consider her a keeper.

    ... if she lied. And it looks to me like she lied, McNutter is saying so and I agree, her testimony seemed 'less than candid.' So does his. Now we know why the phrase "the whole truth" came into being. IMHO, they both lied to congress.

    I hope TL's graphic guru can come up with one for 2 people throwing each other under a bus;-)

    of rats jumping off a sinking ship. in this case, it would be the not-so-good ship alberto gonzales, taking on water quickly, and listing to port.

    this is what happens when you fail to make the bulkheads high enough.
