Look at this little detail:

The White House had requested that no stenographer be present during the closed-door session. ... [T]here will not be an official record.

So, if the WhiteWash House wants to avoid partisanship, why on earth would they avoid having a neutral observer create the record?

And here's another little detail. First the sanctimony, from Scott "Sucka MC" McClellan:

[MCCLELLAN]: "You should not look at this as an adversarial process. We are all working toward the same objective here."

Uh huh. So, it's is not adversarial, then why is Bush bringing his lawyer?

Gonzales is expected to be at Thursday's session, along with perhaps another member of the counsel's office and other White House officials, McClellan said.

Wow! It looks like the commission is going to have a lot of "visitors"!

And the unanswered question:

Why the White House insisted on Bush and Cheney appearing together. Bush has declined to explain the decision. Some analysts have suggested the dual appearance is intended to prevent any differing accounts from the president and vice president.

What's a sock puppet without a hand? And what's a hand without a sock puppet?
