Attorney General Al Gonzales is being investigated for possibly lying to Congress.  I personally doubt if he did so intentionally, but, that makes no difference to the political geniuses in charge of Congress.

There are just a couple of points I would like to make.

1.  It is against the law for you to lie to a Federal Agent.  It is not against the law for a Federal Agent to lie to you.

2.  It is against the law for you to lie to Congress.  It is not against the law for a Congressman to lie to you.

Just remember that our current Congress is led by men and women who are planning to surrender to the terrorists in Iraq.  This is the courage evident in this bunch, and they are lying to the US public about almost everything while trying to make their point. 

There is no penalty for such egregious lying to the American public.  There should be.

Remember the brilliant Contract With America, originated by Newt Gingrich?  He got things done, and even got some legislation passed to make Congress subject to the same laws as the rest of the nation. 

Anybody want to make bets that the current Congress will accomplish anything other than investigations? 

Don't hold your breath.
