A Grand Unifying Theory of the Bushiverse
When the inside Bushies decided to create their own reality, they evidently started from scratch with a whole new time-space continuum, new metaphysics and epistemology, creating a Republiverse where the knowns, known-unknowns and the unknown-unknowns orbit one another, sometimes trading places in a way that would have dizzied Heisenberg. Sometimes, in such a world, it's possible to forget something before you ever knew it, or remember and forget it and remember and forget all over again, in a sort of occulting flash the like the x-ray pulse from a spinning neutron star. In such a world, where as Grace Slick says, logic and proportion have fallen far behind, it's quite possible that the True Truth is very variable, mysterious and difficult to pin down. How else to account for formulations from senior administration officials, like the one from Scooter Libby that promtped this:
"And so when Tim Russert had this conversation with you, you didn't remember that the vice president told you in June that Wilson's wife works at the CIA," Fitzgerald said, "but when you remembered what you forgot, you remembered that you learned it in June not to be classified."
He paused, then asked incredulously: "As you sit here today, is that your testimony under oath?"
He paused, then asked incredulously: "As you sit here today, is that your testimony under oath?"
Or this, about the U.S Attorney firings, from Abu Gonzales:
"To my knowledge, I did not make decisions about who should or should not be asked to resign."
This, in tunrn, prompts the Post's Eugene Robinson to wonder, "To his knowledge? What on earth does that mean? Is Gonzales in the habit of making decisions without his own knowledge?"
Well, memory is a funny thing. Richard Burton would sometimes get drunk before doing Hamlet, and later wake up in his dressing room thinking he'd missed his call. The janitor or whoever was left in the place would assure him, "Oh no, Sir Richard; you were especially fine this evening." He'd remembered thousands of lines of iambic pentameter without remembering that he'd remembered.
In a lesser instance, I too have been known to make fateful decisions about women in bars or at parties, and then to follow through loquaciously and enthusiastically (apparently) on those choices, without any evidence of higher brain function. But so far nobody at the White House is invoking the Blackout Drunk Defense. Maybe it's time.
