Pigs can fly

So, now that we know that Gonzales lied to Congress and the American public about his role in purgegate, what happens next?

WASHINGTON, March 23 — Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales and senior advisers discussed the plan to remove seven United States attorneys at a meeting last Nov. 27, 10 days before the dismissals were carried out, according to a Justice Department calendar entry disclosed Friday.

The previously undisclosed meeting appeared to contradict Mr. Gonzales’s previous statements about his knowledge of the dismissals. He said at a news conference on March 13 that he had not participated in any discussions about the removals, but knew in general that his aides were working on personnel changes involving United States attorneys.

The DOJ is saying this isn't inconsistent with his other statements, but that's like saying black is white, up is down, and pigs can fly. Of course, they've been getting away with that for years, so why do I ask?
