Alberto Gonzales on ‘truth.’

Today, former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales will be speaking at Washington University. In advance, he answered a few questions from the school’s student paper:

SL: If you could redo your tenure as Attorney General, what would you have done differently?

AG: When asked how I believe history may judge my tenure at the Justice Department, I say that such matters are out of my control. Life is not about yesterday. With so much work to do for our country, I intend to look forward. It will take years for the entire story to be told. … I take comfort in the fact that I have always told the truth, worked hard as my father did, stayed true to my values by doing my best, and having stepped into the arena, I have served my country.

1. Thanks!

Yes, I did need a laugh. It amazes me that these people can lie so easily and so often.

[Hepburn]

2. Yep....sure....

...just as realistic as a man describing the pain he went through during HIS natural childbirth.

Gonzalez and truth? Just as much as a physical impossibility as a man giving birth!

3. His chutzpah is astounding! And he could say that with a straight face? nt

[Hepburn]

9. Straight face....

...and lying lips. Kind of totally defines him.

[Supersedeas]

6. "I have served my country." Question is...

which country would that be?

[spanone]

7. only in america can you fuck an entire nation over then charge them to hear you speak

[Javaman]

8. It all depends on what the definition of what truth is. LOL nt

[King Coal]

10. You know, Sis. I think I remember him telling the truth on television.

Heba goodda fibbera. (That's Latin.}

[intaglio]

11. Well he can't remember lying n/t

[malaise]

12. More proof of the inversion of reality

that lies in the minds of Bushco and his cronies. Up is down - lies are truth - murder is peace. :puke:

14. "stayed true to my values"

Pretty much says it all, too bad his values are something most normal people find deplorable.
