The man is a virus. The Rep-thug-licans are looking to distance themselves as best they can. They won’t succeed.

(See “The Lies of George W. Bush” for details on the following)

Bush won’t fire Gone-zo. The reason? It’s simple. Gone-zo knows where ALL of Bush’s skeletons are buried, all the way back to his PERJURY when he left a jury questionnare question blank–”Have you ever been convicted of a crime?” Gone-zo marched in to the DA and argued that having a sitting governor–who might some day be called upon to pardon the defendant–on the jury was not in the best interest of justice. Meanwhile Chimpy was out front giving a speech on civic duty. The DA agreed with Gone-zo and Chimpy was dismissed from the jury pool–without his perjury having to see the light of day (Bush had previously pleaded no contest to a charge of DUI in Maine and had his driving privelege suspended).

Gone-zo has been cleaning up Chimpy’s messes for ten years. The AG post was his reward for loyal Bushie service. My guess is that Chimpy did not want Gone-zo in that office but Gone-zo insisted on the appointment as payment for services rendered. Now that he’s there, Chimpy can’t fire him, because the kiss-and-tell book that would follow from Gone-zo would wreck Chimpy’s “character” that he wishes to maintain as his legacy–a president more moral than the whoring Clinton.

So unless Gone-zo resigns himself, expect him to remain until January 2009, since Congress to too gutless to impeach him. But like some other commenters have said, the “death by 10,000 paper cuts” will be fun to watch.

I’m still unconvinced. All of these Republicans – from Gingrich to the Senate Judiciary Cmte to the newsies at Fox – are so lukewarm to cold to Gonzalez. But he still has the steadfast, strong support of the only Republican that matters – Bush. And he has shown absolutely no sign of changing his mind. Despite the loss of ALL that support, ALL that GOP anger, Gonzalez will remain in office until January 2009, simply because Bush likes him and wants him to stay there. Remember, this is the same president who refused to accept Rummy’s resignation twice before he ultimately let him go after the November elections. I doubt he thinks Gonzalez is as critical, even if all the other Republicans got so fed up that they wanted to run him out of town on a rail.

How very interesting that Gingrich could suggest the dems are going overboard in their investigations. As another person said, if Bill Clinton had done half of the illegal activities as this president, he would have been drug out of the White House and if Bill would have been gone, they would have taken Hillary. Remember Newt when you were having the affair while you were impeaching Clinton for a similar behavior. Should he have lied about it? No. Should you continue to be self-righteous. I don’t think so…you make me ill.

It is obligatory to mention the School of the Americas whenever you speak of AG AG. He was a good student and a good instructor.

It would be like speaking of VP Cheney and not mentioning his moving from TX to where-ever to avoid constitutional limitations on home state.

FOX NEWS…getting in front of the story. GONZO is in big trouble when the Bush “spin machine” takes a public stance of no support.

I bet there are neocons still defending Gonzales even though he lied under oath to Congress. Of course they think it’s okay to lie under oath if you are a Bushie. Of course they kept yelling “but he lied under oath” when it came to Clinton and his affair.

Clement is a “Loyal Bushie” (butt boy). So congress will have to impeach. Both Goldberg and Cannon should be shot from one, preferably over the Grand Canyon.

Stuff Gonzo in there too.

Bush will pardon anyone. He’s an elitist a-hole with no regard to what your lowly opinion is people. Seig Heil King George!

Hereâ€™s a fourth possibility. All three are true; He lied, he used a bureaucratic dodge, and there was far more illegal activity, including strictly domestic spying, than they have admitted.

This gets my vote.

Finally read the 4 part report on Dick Chainy that came out a month ago. All this talk about Bush being the “big man” and “top dog” that is running things through his subordinates, is pure hooey, in my view. He is not the focus here. Chainy is the power behind the throne. It is he that is setting up the protection, for himself, although Bush goes down with him. Bush is merely a puppet that fronts for other interests and people, while they let him pursue his little boy delusions of grandeur and fantasy of the rapture. His interest is Good vs Evil, not the neocon agenda, and as long as they let him pursue that he is a happy camper. That his evangelical position on Israel and the ME coincides with the war mongering neocons and empire builders, is one of the major advantages that the sock puppet provides.

No, it isn’t Bush that is being protected, its Chainy. Gonzalez fronts for Chainy, not Bush, even though he “works” for Bush.

It was probably cheaper to outsource this too. These â€œtrollsâ€ are probably sitting in India following scripts they donâ€™t understand.

Bush cannot pardon some liar who is convicted after being impeached. Axxording to the constitution Article 2 Section 2. The president is prohibited from pardoning in cases of impeachment. Then of course this fool pays no attention to the constitution.

Cando – dude, how long did it take you to cut & paste that post? And you think anybody’s gonna read it? Even your mother did an eye-roll and a snicker when I asked her about this. Get yourself a life!!

Quote from Guido, Lover, OBGYN:
Sen. Russ Feingold, D-Wis is this weekâ€™s FOX Democrat. Shame on him.

Shame on you for calling him Russ a “Fox Democrat”. Get a clue, genius.

Gonzo isn’t going to throw the prez under the bus, but neither is the prez going to fire him.

I think Congress should not have a summer break. That would show the President up as he is in Crawford and it would prevent interim appointments. And it probably would help the Dems’ credibility.

Thank you to Mr. Gingerich for speaking up about Alberto Gonzales. I applaud Republicans who address issues in their own party and clean their own house. It is better than relying on the Democrats to do their housekeeping for them.
