Muha, Muhaha,

MUUUUHAAAHAAAHAAHAAAHAA!!!

I'm going to rant all over this thread, and NOOO ONE can stop me!!! MUHAAAAHAAHAAA!!!

Okay, I'm too tied up today to post my rant on this today, so it'll have to wait until tomorrow. But on a related note, I think this deliberate cover-up by the Bush Administration's Department of Education on the Armstrong Williams debacle is a bit noteworthy. Posted on Atrios:

quote:
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Bush administration is impeding an investigation into the Education Department's hiring of commentator Armstrong Williams by refusing to allow key White House officials to be interviewed, a Democratic lawmaker briefed on the review said Thursday.

In addition, Rep. George Miller, D-Calif., said Education Secretary Margaret Spellings is considering invoking a privilege that he said would require information to be deleted when the final version is publicly released, which is expected within days.

Miller called for Jack Higgins, the inspector general at the Education Department, to delay the report until Spellings agrees not to invoke ''deliberative process privilege'' and the White House grants interviews with current or former officials familiar with the deal.

It's kee-rap meant to use the public education system to crush creativity and create clones that all pass certain tests with the same scores.
