At a White House press conference, George W. Bush was just asked if he sent Andy Card and Alberto Gonzales to John Ashcroft’s hospital room to get him to reauthorize the administration’s warrantless wiretapping program. The president’s response: “There’s a lot of speculation about what happened and what didn’t happen, and I’m not going to talk about it.”

We’ll take that as a yes.
