"“His good name was dragged through the mud for political reasons,” Bush added in a brief statement to reporters."

5. And you, blivet**, were leading the parade that was dragging him!
someone needs to start looking much closer at what these two hound dogs did when they were running Texas. There has to be more there than we know about too.

If he doesn't want his good friends to have their name dragged through the mud for "political reasons", then he should not invite them to serve in a political office ... period!

15. AP did a pretty good job of covering all the mud
<snip>
Gonzales could not satisfy critics who said he had lost credibility over the Justice Department's handling of warrantless wiretaps related to the threat of terrorism and the firings of several U.S. attorneys.

As attorney general and earlier as White House counsel, Gonzales pushed for expanded presidential powers, including the eavesdropping authority. He drafted controversial rules for military war tribunals and sought to limit the legal rights of detainees at Guantanamo Bay prompting lawsuits by civil libertarians who said the government was violating the Constitution in its pursuit of terrorists.
<snip>

The flap over the fired prosecutors proved to be the final straw for Gonzales, whose truthfulness in testimony to Congress was drawn into question.
<snip>

Thousands of documents released by the Justice Department show a White House plot, hatched shortly after the 2004 elections, to replace U.S. attorneys. At one point, senior White House officials, including Rove, suggested replacing all 93 prosecutors. In December 2006, eight were ordered to resign.
<snip>
http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/WireStory?id=3527851&page=3

There's much more at the link. The article goes on to say how during the hearings Gonzales said I do not recall scores of times and yet bush still defended him. It even mentions how bush* considered him for a seat on the SCOTUS and the "dramatic hospital confrontation" of John Ashcroft.

It was a very good read.

What bush* should understand by now is that this is what happens when you lower yourself to wallowing in slop, you get covered in mud.
