This just in....(part deux)

(It's "part deux" because I'd already used the title "This just in...")

Per Olbermann & Countdown and this ABC News article, Michael Mukasey, the Attorney General of the United States of America uttered this doozy today: "But not every wrong, or even every violation of the law, is a crime..."

According to dictionary.com the first definition of a crime is?: "an action or an instance of negligence that is deemed injurious to the public welfare or morals or to the interests of the state and that is legally prohibited."

So, not every violation of a law...is a crime eh? WOW! Who knew??? I feel like stealing a car and using that argument in court. I'm sure that'll go over well.

I would agree not every crime deserves to be punished (see post I have scheduled for later), they call that prosecutorial discretion, but if you violate A law, it is indeed A crime. Period.

Very farking odd.
