Comey's story is reminiscent of children running to mother, each trying to get to mom first, each telling mom the other is lying. When grown men behave this way, no one looks good, especially Comey. So why would he tell this tale? And why did it impress some senators and the LAT?

LAT on Gonzales
On the editorial page today, the LAT rants about the story Jim Comey told the Senate Judiciary Committee about Gonzales and Andrew Card calling on John Ashcroft while he was hospitalized, hoping to override a Comey decision. According to the LAT, Comey got to Ashcroft before Gonzales and Card, and Comey's decision was not overridden.
