Statement by Deputy Press Secretary Dana Perino<\/strong><\/div>\n

President Bush was pleased with the Attorney General’s testimony today. After hours of testimony in which he answered all of the Senators’ questions and provided thousands of pages of documents, he again showed that nothing improper occurred. He admitted the matter could have been handled much better, and he apologized for the disruption to the lives of the U.S. Attorneys involved, as well as for the lack of clarity in his initial responses. The Attorney General has the full confidence of the President, and he appreciates the work he is doing at the Department of Justice to help keep our citizens safe from terrorists, our children safe from predators, our government safe from corruption, and our streets free from gang violence.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I wonder how she says such things with a straight face. Sometimes, she does show signs of recognition at the corners of her mouth that what she’s saying is ludicrous, but mostly she delivers this pap as if it make sense…<\/p>\n

Also in the Press Gaggle, she says:<\/div>\n

As I’ve said many times, the President has full confidence in the Attorney General. The Attorney General looked forward to the hearing that is taking place right now.\tOf course, the President has not seen any of that testimony.<\/strong> As I told you, he’s had a busy morning, and now we’re on our way to Tipp City, Ohio. And I haven’t seen any of the testimony, either. But clearly, we would hope that there were no preconceived notions, or canned talking points that the senators had in mind before they had this hearing. They said they wanted to get to the facts, and I’m sure that the Attorney General will be fully responsive to their request. <\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
