Al Gore's speech yesterday got to the Bush administration. Last night, Attorney General Gonzales whined about Gore on Larry King Live. Of course, nothing Gonzales said was actually true:
Attorney General Alberto Gonzales defended the administration's actions and said Gore's criticism is inconsistent with Clinton administration policy.Gonzales "understanding" is wrong. He clearly doesn't understand, but why would he? Gonzales was the White House Counsel when the illegal spying began. He's basically lying about the Clinton Administration. Consider his compatriots in the misinformation effort. In December, Think Progress repeatedly documented how the right wingers, led by Drudge, aided by News Max, Michelle Malkin and Fox News, were trying to push that same false spin.
On CNN's "Larry King Live," Gonzales said, "It's my understanding that during the Clinton administration there was activity regarding physical searches without warrants."
UPDATE: Think Progress dissects Gonzales today.
