Alberto Gonzales rears his criminal head
I've been wondering when Gonzales would make a post-DOJ public appearance.

Commentary: Hispanic values equal American values

"Over the past 2 ½ years as attorney general, I have seen crimes involving dishonesty, corruption and depravity of types I never thought possible. I've seen things I didn't know man was capable of.

But I will tell you here and now that I am still hopeful. Because every time I see a glimmer of what the evil man can do, I see the defenders of liberty, truth, and justice who stand ready to fight it."


and


"My hopes, and those of many others with stories similar to mine, are reflected in those words of the founders of this nation more than two centuries ago: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."

Those words are a simple, clear expression of the American dream. I believe in that dream with all my heart. I have lived it in a way I never would have thought possible."





The mind wobbles.

1. Corrected first sentence
Here is what it should have said:
"Over the past 2 ½ years as attorney general, I have committed crimes involving dishonesty, corruption and depravity of types I never thought possible.

17. "I have lived it in a way I never would have thought possible."
That's in the context of what Sinclair Lewis wrote about in "It Can't Happen Here", much of the conceptual framework of that fictional work is real now and former AGAG contributed a lot to that-he won't be forgotten.

His legal legacy is right up there with the Enabling Acts of the Third Reich.
