It's not a crime if we say it's not a crime. Unless it's a crime. And that's a crime.

Attorney General Michael Mukasey today, in a brief respite from knobgobbling other members of the Misadministration:

“Where there is enough evidence to charge someone with a crime, we vigorously prosecute,” he said. “But not every wrong, or even every violation of the law, is a crime.”

Since FUCKING WHEN? Okay, I understand the difference between civil and criminal law. But in the case of Monica Goodling or Kyle Sampson. . . oh, most certainly violations of the law and crimes have been committed, and "negative publicity" isn't nearly enough punishment for the damage done to our justice system. Not to mention that some acts that aren't against the law are crimes--against decency and against the public good.

And this person who maintains otherwise is the chief law enforcement officer of our nation.

AAAAHHHH!
