"Now, trying to get Clinton's asst attorney general, or whatever her title was, off the 9/11 commission because she made Ashcroft look bad, that is partisanship of the nasty sort that truly matters, because it is about something that truly matters."

That anything to do with the lady described in this excerpt from an article in todays "Daily Telegraph" by Mark Steyn:

"The only thing everyone seems to agree on is that counter-intelligence was severely hobbled by the so-called "wall" erected between the CIA and FBI. Who put up this "wall", or at any rate extended it several feet higher than previously? Why, former Clinton-era Deputy Attorney-General Jamie Gorelick. Has she testified before the Commission? Well, no, because she's on it. That would seem to be a prima facie conflict of interest. But instead she's huffing indignantly about being a victim of "partisan rancor". "Partisan rancour" is wholly improper unless directed at Bush and Ashcroft."
