It's them lawyers, that's the problem

Today Bush said that he consulted "all sorts of lawyers" before circumventing existing laws in order to obtain wiretaps without warrants. Methinks I'm smelling a defense here. You know, it wasn't Bush's fault, it was the fault of the lawyers - he just did what they recommended. See, lawyers told him it is ok to torture prisoners. And I'll bet that some of those in the intelligence community that told him that Sadam had WMD were lawyers also. See, it's all the fault of lawyers. Lawyers told him it was ok to break the law, torture people, and lie to the American public.
