Gonzales will never, ever displease Bush.

“It’s important for any public official to have as much confidence as he can garner,” says White House spokesman Tony Fratto. “And that’s going to ebb and flow, but it will not ebb and flow with this President and this Attorney General.”

  1. Richard Brudzynski says:

    You’ve got a tupo in your title. I believe the word you’re looking for is “displeased.”



  2. Republicans are the Fear and Smear Party says:

    Apparently they have decided to wait until he drowns.


  3. KRank says:

    At least they admit it, that Bush doesn’t take actions or consequences into account when he makes his faith-based decisions.

    As Stephen Colbert said, this president believes the same thing On Thursday that he believed on Tuesday, no matter what happened on Wednesday.


  4. JTitor says:

    Comment by Richard Brudzynski – Shouldn’t that be “Typo” in your title?


  5. TripMaster Monkey says:

    Gonzales will never, ever diplease [sic] Bush.

    “Diplease”? C’mon, TP…seriously…


  6. hellinabucket says:

    They are going to both go down with the ship. Gonzo knows where all the bones are buried since the early days in Texas with the Chimp.


  7. Krazny says:

    At this point, Bush couldn’t pay someone enough to take the AG position, He is pretty much stuck with Gonzo.


  8. JTitor says:

    Gonzales, Rice, and Rove have been with the President from the beginning. They know too much to be kicked to the curb.


  9. RUCerious says:

    I knew gonzo was a dip, didn’t know he leased that!
    I wonder how bush likes it when gonzo is being questioned by folks who know how to catch lies when they’re told.
    Sweaty, nervous, huh?


  10. JTitor says:

    They really meant to say dickcheese but their naughty-word filter caught it.


  11. JTitor says:

    Comment by Krazny — Paul Wolfolwitz will do it. He’ll do anything.


  12. Mr. President says:

    No see, diplease is a word too. See the prefix “di” has an etymology rooted in Greek, it means “two” or “double” or some sh!t like that.

    So, all TP is saying is that Gonzales will neva eva double-please Bush.

    That’s why Bush chews Double-Mint gum.


  13. Angry One says:

    Then again, Paul Wolfowitz also enjoyed the “full confidence” of President Bush.


  14. the Lone Voice of Reason says:

    Love is in the air.


  15. JTitor says:

    Comment by TripMaster Monkey — Gonzales will never, ever Dickcheese Bush. All better now.


  16. Peter says:

    The only way to remove Gonzales is to IMPEACH BUSH et al. Let’s start NOW.


  17. President Clinton says:

    Gonzales will never, ever diplease Bush.

    Man not fair, this reminds me of my good friend, Sandy Burgler…I mean Sandy Berger.

    The fool got caught stealing top secret documents from the National Archieve. Shit, can you imagine the frenzy the media and the left would have gone into if it was Condi Rice who would have stolen secret documents from the National Archieve?

    wow, am I glad that the media and the left is full of hypocrites. Berger would be in jail for 20 years instead of receiving a slap on his ass for his treason.


  18. Bushie says:

    “Your doing a heck of a job, Gonzo.”

    Comment by President Clinton — May 18, 2007 @ 3:24 pm

    Re-read the story and try to stay on topic. I know it’s difficult for you but try it; you might like it.


  20. War4Sale says:

    In other words, if DOJ had solid evidence that the President was breaking the law, they would shirk their law enforcement responsibilities and conspire to cover it up. Right, Mr. Fratto?


  21. VerbalKint says:

    I think the only possible explanation is that if Gonzo goes down then Rove goes down, and if Rove goes down, then Bush goes down, dragging Cheney in his wake.

    It’s all or nothing for the Bush team now.


  22. Oversight is a Bitch. says:

    Bush’s confidence in Gonzo will not waiver, mostly because Bush can’t understand what the heck an Attorney General does.


  23. Oversight is a Bitch. says:

    #18. Hey, stupid. Sandy Berger was just in the paper THIS WEEK about these actions. There goes your “ignored by the media” theory.


  24. President Clinton says:

    I think the only possible explanation is that if Gonzo goes down then Rove goes down, and if Rove goes down, then Bush goes down, dragging Cheney in his wake.

    Comment by VerbalKint — May 18, 2007 @ 3:27 pm

    It was the same thing during my administration. I couldn’t throw Janet the Ugly Reno after she screwed up Waco. if she went, I would no doubtly go too. She knows too many of my secrets and she warned me.

    I told my administration, we must stick togethere and fight the right wing conspiracy machine. My wife was right on. I love that blondy, but why isn’t she a beautiful brunette like Monica. Why did God punish me?

    Hey by the way, did I over due the whole God thing when I was in office.

    I mentioned God’s name 50% more than this guy Bush, what an idiot, right?

    but Liberals didn’t care that I mentioned God every three words that I said.


  25. Tom3 says:

    It must be “displease”, because Gonzo is obviously dickcheesing Chimpy all the time.


  26. Oversight is a Bitch. says:

    #18. Here’s a link from a newspaper just YESTERDAY, stupid. Or, don’t you read?? http://www.statesman.com/news/content/news/stories/nation/05/17/17nation.html

    And, it’s from Austin, Texas… a hotbed of liberalism!!


  27. Tom3 says:

    That’s a bullshit accusation about Sandy Berger.

    He made COPIES of documents, he didn’t steal any originals.

    This case was blown up out of proportion by Repukes.

    Chimpy and his goons have done far far worse than Berger or his boss Clinton. Chimpy is running a criminal conspiracy out of the White House.


  28. War4Sale says:

    PC,

    You should right for the Fox “comedy” show. Your attempt at satire is so far from funny, you’d fit right in. Is that even still on by the way?


  29. Tom3 says:

    “if Gonzo goes down then Rove goes down, and if Rove goes down, then Bush goes down”

    Sounds like another wild Friday night in the West Wing. I bet Jeffy Lube Gannon was invited too.


  30. Oversight is a Bitch. says:

    #29. That’s funny. Did Fox keep “The Half Hour News Hour,” or whatever that sad attempt at humor was, on the air? I thought that thing was DOA. Of course, Fox News viewers are to dim to understand anything other than jokes about passing gas.


  31. Oversight is a Bitch. says:

    #30. HILARIOUS! Did we ever hear why a MALE PROSTITUTE was given access to the White House without passing a security check? SUSPICIOUS!

    Quite right. Most of the public cannot stand the President nor Gonzales and that’s not going to change.

    Satire? I am William Jefferson Clinton. c’mon, you have to be smarter than this.

    and Fox news? YUCK! this conservative, lying piece of shit network?

    why would I write for them? please!

    You know, when I made love to Hillary…oh shit, did I just say make love to Hillary? sorry, when i fucked the shit out of Hillary, I called out my lovers name and she would say the same thing you just told me….

    “When you are fucking me, at least try to look at my face and remember who you are fucking.”

    funny that you and her would say the same thing.


  35. steve says:

    Gonzalez is a metaphore for Bush

    Bush will “stay the course” with Gonzo just like he’ll “stay the course” in Iraq. He’s incapable of doing otherwise. He can not accept his own colllosal failure.

    Comment by President Clinton

    If you had half the brain of Bill Clinton you could probably get laid. Then you’d realize that happy, content people are progressive and bitter, unhappy losers are conservative. But like I said, if you had half of Clinton’s brain you only have half of your own.


  37. War4Sale says:

    Look out Dennis Miller! There is a new king of not funny! Wait a minute, is that you, Dennis?!


  38. Tom3 says:

    We never DID get an explanation why a male hooker was in the White House for two years on day passes…sometimes overnight…and was never given the security background check the rest of the White House Press Corpse gets.

    Bloggers broke that story, and the Press Corpse was so embarassed by it that they “spiked” it. (refused to run the story). The Press Corpse had this male hooker in their midst for two years, with dubious press credentials and a day pass, throwing Chimpy softballs…and they NEVER questioned what he was doing there.


  39. Shane says:

    Chimpy is running a criminal conspiracy out of the White House.

    Comment by Tom3

    Thoughtful of you to try and explain things to the trollie goons but: 1) they’re too stupid to understand, and 2) they’re complicit in the criminal conspiracy to destroy this country.


  40. Oversight is a Bitch. says:

    PC: No rebuttal on your “the liberal media has ignored Sandy Berger” comment? loser.

    Nope, neocons are still fixated on Clinton’s blow jobs because they didn’t know anybody got them for free.

    Here steve, I thought this would work too.


  43. Oversight is a Bitch. says:

    #41. Bwaaaaahahaha! So true. Their wives only do missionary and only when they are trying to have kids. For everything else, the neocons pay cash.


  44. Shane says:

    Comment by Tom3 — May 18, 2007 @ 3:52 pm

    Then again they covered up the names from the Washington madame’s phone bill because Cheney was a client.


  45. War4Sale says:

    “Their wives only do missionary and only when they are trying to have kids. For everything else, the neocons pay cash.”

    See? Now that’s funny!!!

    Are you kidding, the neocon’s wives give the best blow jobs in town. They just give them to everybody but their husbands or other neocons. They prefer to give them to real men.

    hello, knock, knock, anyone up there? I am President William Jefferson Clinton. I have gotten laid more times than Charlie Sheen has.

    but Shane, take it from me, sex doesn’t make you hip or cool. I know about this. Sex almost destroyed my life. :(

    that stupid Monica, how did she not realize that she was being taped and why the hell did she tell everyone that I had coached her on what to tell the Grand Jury.

    You know, that I what I thought too until I went to Washington DC. those liberal honeys, Liberals are the best MILFS, the best!!!

    those darn conservatives and their moral values, they have the best looking wives, but can you imagine that they will only give it up to their husbands?

    How DARE THEY?!


  49. KRank says:

    Wow. That’s a really clever new troll tactic — pretending to be one of teh most popular presidents of teh twentieth century in order to make him sound foolish.

    I guess it’s a variation on the original troll tactic of spouting right-wing talking points and making themselves sound foolish.

    Hey, stupid, how about we put Kucinich’s wife up against Laura Bush? Or Mitt Romney’s? You lose again. loser.

    Really, I was one of the most popular Presidents? funny, I was told that wasn’t the case by the american people when I received twice less than 50% of the popular vote.

    In 1992 I received 43% of the popular vote and in 1996 I received 48% of the popular vote. shit, this idiotic President received both times over 50% of the popular vote.

    wow, you must know something that my experts don’t know. Let me call Calver and Bugala and tell them to take advice from you, ok?

    My wife Hillary would kick their butts!!! All that noise that comes out from her mouth that she pollutes with….believe me, she would annoyed them to hell.


  53. War4Sale says:

    Nope. Sorry, still not funny, PC. Obvious and shrill yes, but not funny at all. Maybe practice some more on the FREEPer board and then come back and try again?

    why are my Liberal friends so slow? why? that’s one thing I have learned. Liberals are great, but geez are they dumb as a rock.

    War4Sale, I am the President.

    and hey, you do know that I gave hundreds of no-bid contracts to Halliburton when I was President, right?

    my wars were also for sale during the 1990s….amazingly enough, 99% of Liberals didn’t complain when Halliburton was getting riched thanks to me.

    go figure, now they care, they didn’t care about this when I was President.

    Why do you claim that my comments are annoying now, but they were not when I was President? why? please tell me, please. I need to know.


  57. lunacy says:

    Another joke! Wouldn’t that make Bush an accomplice if not Gonzales the accomplice in the unraveling saga of “The Bush Administration: the disgracing of America”.


  58. lunacy says:

    It just came to me… Bush and Gonzales are secret lovers!


  59. Georgette Orwell says:

    People giving their colleagues loyalty and support is one thing, but I do wish that Mr. Gonzales would stop looking at Mr. Bush in the same way Nancy used to gaze in adoration at Ronnie.
