Kind of feel sorry for Gonzales - he's had to wipe Bush's ass

[heidiho]

all these years.

Imagine having to cover up for that idiot for all of these years.
Listening to him talking about the clemency memos, it struck me that cleaning up Bush's shit and trying to make the moron look like someone who has half a brain has got to be the hardest job in the world.

Of course, I do believe he'll be burning in hell with Bush for all eternity.

6. Yes, but having to sell your soul to the Bush Family

has to be hard for anyone.

He is one of their many scapegoats. I do not feel "sorry" for him - mainly just looking at what a shitty life that has to be to be Bush's butt man.

10. he's not a scapegoat! he's one of the dons!

7. He's been FELCHING Bush's ass...

...after Bush has been "serviced" by "Dick" Cheney.

May they all share cells with a clone of "Bubba," whose philosophy is "Yo MAH li'l ol' puppy NOW."

ESPECIALLY Gonzales. Anyone who can forgive him for being the "Robespierre" for Bush's Texas Capital Punishment Reign of Terror has oatmeal for brains.

It's a real killer.

11. He's a "Tio Taco". There, I've said it. Flame away.

12. No flame here

I haven't heard that phrase since I moved to the midwest. My only problem with that is it does not convey how dangerous this prick really is.


Tio Taco. huh-huh-huh.

13. Like Kerik, another po' boy who made good by covering rich peoples' crimes

Although Kerik is pretty much despicable on every level and not very bright to boot, the comparison's not totally off-base. Gonzales at least seems to understand what monogamy means, and he's got the discipline to have studied hard and accomplished some things, but after that, they both fit the classic mold of the prole who made good.

By sucking up to the privileged, he's fed his own enormous ego by proving that he's much better than those no-accounts he grew up with. As a poster boy for the American Dream, the godkings of huge money love to keep him around, and know that he'll toe the line: he can be destroyed by them, and he knows it.

Many people like this (think Clarence Thomas) are essentially the same as capos in a concentration camp: people who turn upon their own out of self-interest. They always discount the help from affirmative action or specific tokenism, because that taints their glorious ascension to their god-given superiority.

Gonzales' attitude toward the law is precisely the wrong one; for him, interpretation is only equivocation to do what ever your overlords desire, regardless of the spirit or even letter of the law. He is to the law what a Mengele is to medicine: a skilled practitioner at precisely what is not to be done.

The very idea that he dances and dodges when asked if he feels the president has the right to defy a law if he doesn't like it shows that he doesn't have a spare scruple if his life depended on it. The president is to obey and enforce all laws, even if he'd vetoed them himself. There is no excuse for anything short of a direct and unequivocal answer on this. That's the kind of crap that brought us Iran-Contra.

14. Nobody is forcing him to do it.

He's a Bush love child like the rest.
