Bush and Cornyn react to Gonzales departure: It’s sad.
President Bush, commenting on Alberto Gonzales’ resignation this morning, said, “It is sad.” Bush isn’t the only one in mourning. Appearing on MSNBC and CNN, Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) repeated the same talking point. “I think it’s a sad thing,” Cornyn said, adding that today is “a sad day.” Watch it:
[flv http://video.thinkprogress.org/2007/08/sad.320.240.flv]
In a statement released this morning, House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers finds the true sadness in the situation. “It is a sad day when the Attorney General of the United States resigns amid a cloud of suspicion that the system of justice has been manipulated for political purposes,” Conyers said.

Yes, it’s all the fault of the “Dimmicrat Parrty.” LOL!
August 27th, 2007 at 1:22 pmIt’s sad that it took so long to get rid of Gonzo.
August 27th, 2007 at 1:22 pmGonzo sucks!
Its “SAD” alright.
Its sad that such a sorry bunch of cretons ever got into office in the first place.
August 27th, 2007 at 1:23 pmyea… the dems… draggin’ his good name… through the… … mud…
August 27th, 2007 at 1:23 pm…
Box Turtle Cornyn was all over the airwaves today, repeating his “sad” mantra in synch with W. I just read on No Quarter that he’s actually on the replacement list, which I didn’t take seriously until just now.
August 27th, 2007 at 1:24 pmYes, and when Satan was banished to Hell it was a sad day as well, among the dark angels.
August 27th, 2007 at 1:24 pmIt’s sad that there are over 3700 dead American soldiers, plus
August 27th, 2007 at 1:25 pmhow many innocent victims lanquishing in Guantonomo Bay because of
Gonzalez and his torure plan and dismissing of Geneva Conventions. THAT’S WHAT’S SAD!., what’s sad is the Patriot Act that has stolen American citizen’s civil rights to privacy; shall I go on? You and your thugs and what you have done to this country ARE A TRAGEDY! that’s what’s sad.
“The system of justice has been manipulated for political purposes,†Conyers said.
Yeah, sort of like what the republicans did to Clinton during the witch hunt they called impeachment, don’t you think?!
Republican hypocrisy knows no Bounds!
August 27th, 2007 at 1:25 pmAnd then there were Senator Cornyn’s (R-TX and 100% Bushbot) remarks: “This will not bring peace. This will bring more chaos.”
What?!
August 27th, 2007 at 1:26 pmNow that Gonzo is a prizate citizen, sans the protection of Bush and darth vader Cheney, can we have his habeas corpus removed and label him as an enemy combatant?
Revenge is a best dish served cold!
August 27th, 2007 at 1:29 pmYes it is sad. It is sad that Saruman has been overthrown but Sauron is still in Mordor.
August 27th, 2007 at 1:30 pmI have to agree.
Everyday Bush remains as President of this great country is truly a sad day
August 27th, 2007 at 1:30 pmIt is a good day. Be happy that another liar is gone and just look at what has fallen in eight days. II liars from the Bushes den.
August 27th, 2007 at 1:30 pmThey will implode
Wm
MORE CHAOS-FOR Republicans!!!
:D
August 27th, 2007 at 1:31 pmwhere will they get more crazy ass boot lickers to fill the missing spots?
August 27th, 2007 at 1:32 pm“It’s sad.”
Yes, if by “sad” you mean “really, really terrific”; or if by “sad” you mean “long overdue”; or if by “sad” you mean “a cause for celebration.”
Yes, in those cases it is “sad” that the ag resigned.
August 27th, 2007 at 1:34 pmLet’s just hope that Gonzales doesn’t wake up tomorrow and “forget” that he resigned today. Someone please remind him to tie a string on his finger…
August 27th, 2007 at 1:34 pmThis administration has set a new low record for stonewalling and denial as to its inappropriate (if not illegal) actions. Gonzales could have been discharged (or asked to resign) for simply failing to act as an adequate administrator. However, this administration has learned that there is no punishment for its outrageous actions. Even as I writed, I hear an NPR report which equivocates as to whether anything wrong went on. The news media’s failure to act as an hones broker of the news, its inability to make a definite statement as to the ethics if not the legality of this administration’s actions will result in serious damage to the republic and its citizens.
August 27th, 2007 at 1:35 pmYes it is sad. It is sad that Saruman has been overthrown but Sauron is still in Mordor.
Comment by Gandalf — August 27, 2007 @ 1:30 pm
Careful, Gandalf, I here Rick Santorum is pissed and is looking to help ‘focus the eye of Mordor’ on you…
:)
August 27th, 2007 at 1:36 pmWhats sad is that Bush gave into the liberal wining coming from the left. Whats sad is that the dems are going after a attorney general in the middle of war. A attorney general that never broke ANY laws. Apparently partisan witch hunts are more important to the dems then fighting a war. WERE LOSING THE WAY CASE THE DEMS ARE SABOTAGIN IT. There purposefully trying to lose the war so they can score political points. THATS WHATS SAD. Look at the facts look at how much worse the war has gotten since the dems have taken over the house and senate. The entire dem leadership should be in GITMO no in charge of congress thats whats SAD.
August 27th, 2007 at 1:36 pmWERE LOSING THE WAY CASE THE DEMS ARE SABOTAGIN IT.
August 27th, 2007 at 1:37 pmum, what? no, wait, don’t respond.
But it will be a happy day for Fox News when they launch their newest program…
The Gonzales Factor.
Debuting this fall on Fox
August 27th, 2007 at 1:38 pmGonzales’ resignation means the “surge” will work when hell freezes over, which is what just happened with Fredo’s ouster. Bush is stunningly optimistic in the face of overwhelming odds against him. He repeatedly stated that “Gonzales was not leaving” just as he’s repeatedly stated “the surge is working.” It doesn’t matter if Bush is wrong or lying. The end result is always the same.
August 27th, 2007 at 1:39 pmNo, what’s sad is the Bush presidency.

Lying under oath is a violation of the law.
As for the rest of the rant, I have to run it through babelfish first.

Get over it. He’s a criminal. If resignation is all that comes from this clown’s tenure, you’ll be lucky.
August 27th, 2007 at 1:43 pmComment by GitmoRules:
“…look at how much worse the war has gotten since the dems have taken over the house and senate. …”
_______________
Gee, I thought the Surge was working and all was well in ChimpLand. Care to elaborate on how the Dems in Congress have made the war get worse? Hasn’t El Chimpo received every bit of war funding he’s requested? Or are you saying the Dems are funneling money and weapons to the insurgents? Is that what’s going on in your Chimp-addled brain? I thought that it was the Chimp giving arms away to the Sunni insurgents?
August 27th, 2007 at 1:43 pmIts sad for this Administration to think that the Justice department might just start to concentrate on Justice instead of partisanship. Its sad for them that one of their top enablers had to say bye-bye. Its tragic for them to concider that the wheels of Justice grind slow, but exceedingly fine!
August 27th, 2007 at 1:44 pmOne Down, Two To Go!
Impeach Bush and Cheney and Save the Constitution!
It’s only sad if you enjoy spitting on the United States Constitution.
August 27th, 2007 at 1:45 pm“Bush and Cornyn react to Gonzales departure: It’s sad.” Yeah, I’m shedding a tear over Gonzo’s departure. Balloons and cake are ready for Gonzo’s retirement. This piece of info from WSJ:
“Attorney General Alberto Gonzales’s resignation came on Friday in a phone call with President Bush, and the two had lunch together at Bush’s Crawford ranch on Sunday, along with Gonzales’s wife.”
And this is a hint that Gonzo’s resignation wasn’t his own decision. Next time Gonzo, you should have let Bush’s call go to voice mail and say that you didn’t get the message.
August 27th, 2007 at 1:47 pmWhat’s truly sad, is how Bush’s policies have produced so many dead people…
August 27th, 2007 at 1:47 pmI don’t know what Bush and Cornyn are talking about….I feel happy.
August 27th, 2007 at 1:47 pmThe sadness will continue if Skeletor Chertoff is confirmed as the new AG.
August 27th, 2007 at 1:47 pmDidn’t Bush strike a deal with Congress to NOT make recess appointments this year? Hmmmm, the timing of this “resignation” is truly suspicious.
August 27th, 2007 at 1:48 pm“sad”? “amid a cloud of suspicion that the system of justice has been manipulated for political purposes” by the Neoturd wingnutjobs!
August 27th, 2007 at 1:48 pmGitmoRules, Could you tell me when a war was declared? I read in your post how much we need to look at the facts so I thought I’d start there.
Where is the declaration of War?
August 27th, 2007 at 1:48 pmSong sung blue-everybody knows one. Now get that out of your head troll.
August 27th, 2007 at 1:49 pmIt’s sad that Texas elected as a United States Senator a man of such limited intelligence that the entirety of his public persona consists of cribbing talking points from George W. Bush.
August 27th, 2007 at 1:50 pmGee, didn’t Bush strike a deal with Congress for NO recess appointments this month?? Hmmmm, me thinks the timing of this “sudden and shocking resignation” stinks of suspicion!
August 27th, 2007 at 1:50 pmIt is going to be a sadder day for John Cornyn when Mikal Watts kicks his ass in the next general election.
August 27th, 2007 at 1:51 pmIt is sad that Conyers and the rest of the Dems have let another criminial leave without a jail sentence. Have they nailed anyone yet. Didn’t Ney, Abramoff, Delay and the phone jammer, and the Ohio couple all get tagged before the Dems took control?
August 27th, 2007 at 1:51 pmConyers 1, Bush/Cornyn 0.
August 27th, 2007 at 1:53 pmWhy is it that Michael Vick’s guilty plea is more headline material than Gonzales’ resignation?
August 27th, 2007 at 1:55 pmThat is what is sad!!!
step by step one by one. The whole Bush facade is coming down! SWEET! And I want the criminal Chimp jailed or assassinated at the least! For each and every one who died on 9/11, and for each and every soldier and righteous human being that has died in this foolish criminal war. Can’t wait to to see the Chimp choke in his own blood. Lying money fixated devil worshipping freak! Using God as an instrument for war profiteering. Using God as a cover up while worshipping the devil. Oh Chimpy you just sit and wait!! Chimpy your time has come!!! There’s vultures all over the white house waiting to devour your stinking rotten flesh! Chimpy America wants your guts spilled all over DC! You had it your way on 9/11 and in Iraq, so now we’ll have it our way!! how ’bout that!!
August 27th, 2007 at 1:56 pmWatch this great, 3 part, BBC report that explains the TRUE Neocon movement, and its subversion of rational thought regarding human behavior and how this led them to their wacko Negative Freedom BS, and thusly that politicians and gov employees cannot be trusted to work for the better good. The Neocons feel that everyone ALWAYS has a self-betterment underlying thought process, and therefore, no one can ever truly work towards societal good. Ipso facto, Government that provides for the populace, is just gov workers using their influence to make it more likely they will be reelected and sustain their job. Hence the ridiculous statement by Grover Norquist:
“Shrink government to the size that it fits into a bathtub and then drown it.†Why do citizens elect people to government who evidentally do not believe in government, nor wish to run it?

What’s really “sad” is the fact that this AG lied, then tried to cover it up, suffered from constant amnesia when called to testify, and continued his charade in not providing the requested emails and testimony in the Attorney Firing Scandal. If he believes that his departure means the end to his investigation, he’s got another thought coming. It’s “sad” all right – “sad” that his sorry, irresponsible, criminal butt isn’t sitting in jail right now, that’s what’s truly “sad”!
The rest of the world are laughing at us for even having a fraud like Gonzo sitting in the highest legal position in this country. Shamefully sad!

August 27th, 2007 at 1:59 pmBush’s Corrupt House of Cards is coming tumbling down. The GOPers are jumping ship like rats and soon Bush and Cheney will have all their dirty laundry out there to inspect.
Chertoff is no more qualified than Gonzo was – he couldn’t even run Homeland Security, for goodness sakes without botching it. How he can be in line for AG speaks volumes about what these Repukes have left – zilcho! Not a single one with an ounce of integrity left in what once was the Republican Party. Now that’s really “sad”.

August 27th, 2007 at 2:01 pmI love how these guys act as though they had no part in the “hyperpartisanship”. As though they haven’t been accusing the opposition of treason and sedition for disagreeing with them. As though they didn’t build a freaking election strategy completely around finding Wedge Issues to divide and incite the citizens.
Seriously, F You Gonzo
August 27th, 2007 at 2:01 pmBodhittsatva: Thanks for the links! Adam Curtis rocks!
August 27th, 2007 at 2:02 pmWill I guess that “witch hunt” by Harry “butt” Reid was a total complete failure as no witches were found. Now Gonzo is off to a long vacation with a nice bag of goodies that will last him the rest of his life AND he will not have to waste anymore time in the presents of Democrats unless he chooses to. I suggest a nice Caribbean retreat and alot of salt water to get the “stank” from Democrats washed off. Believe me Gonzo is smiling all the way to paradise.
August 27th, 2007 at 2:03 pmI find it fascinating how the trolls head for the hills on the days their superheros fall from grace. They’re no where to be found today with Gonzocchio departing. They know they’ll get the day-long slapdown they deserve.
August 27th, 2007 at 2:03 pm#60 The only reason there was nothing to be found is because this fraud refused to provide testimony – he either had “selective amnesia” – a total “brain fart”, or he’s just got his head entirely up his ass. Whatever it is, he definitely NEEDS some time somewhere to get some obviously required R & R. Rather than the Caribbean, I’d suggest a mental ward myself. In the meantime, now some slick prosecutor can nail his sorry ass for all of his lies and incompetence – not to mention criminal wrongdoing in the Attorney Scandal….. His ass is not off the grill yet, that’s for sure.
Resigning from public office only makes him a much larger prosecutorial target as a civilian now.

_______________
I know. It’s been a veritable Michael Vick extravaganza on cable news this morning. We’re getting reactions from virtually everyone who has even the remotest connection to Vick. A marginally important sports figure’s guilty plea is far more important than an Attorney General’s resignation/firing.
August 27th, 2007 at 2:07 pmWe are here “Titmouse” but have to leave in a few minutes as the going away party for Gonzo’s vacation will be starting.
August 27th, 2007 at 2:07 pmI guess I spoke too soon. There are retarded trolls who simply are functioning on such a low intellectual level that they “don’t know that they don’t know”…. prima facie evidence right here with Zed Lefflin! Speaking of slime and scumbags???
August 27th, 2007 at 2:07 pmSlime your necrotic, flesh-rotted, piss-soaked selves away since you clearly have nothing at all to add to any intelligent discussion.
Gonzo is gone!! Hoorah, Hoorah! Score one for the People who will trample this sick, carcinogenic GOP off the political map.
August 27th, 2007 at 2:09 pmHi Mr. Pee! You think you fool anyone with your sociopathic moniker changing? Not a chance.

August 27th, 2007 at 2:18 pmBush tells deeper truths than he really meant to.
He [i.e. Gonzo] aggressively and successfully pursued public corruption.
Also, there was a kind of freudian slip in his it’s sad statement…
“It’s sad… when a talented and honorable man like Alberto Gonzales is impeding from doing important work.”
In firing Carol Lam, et al, he was impeding the Justice Department from doing important work.
August 27th, 2007 at 2:20 pmThe first Latino to helm the Justice Department said his “worst days as attorney general have been better than my father’s best days.”
His dad must have had a real rough life.
August 27th, 2007 at 2:26 pmBush is scoreless in the fourth quarter. Watch closely America! Let’s see what trick he’s got under his sleeve hmm ….another terrorist attack! watch closely now this time we got him!!!!

What is even sadder than this? That there are enough double-digit IQers that not only voted him in TWICE but are still supporting his sorry dry-drunk chickenhawk a$$! The cleanup of this country will have to include something that will keep that from ever happening again. Like Germany has sworn to not let happen there, after their own version of our Codpiece Commander Guy did his thing on the world before his “little incident” in the bunker with Eva.
August 27th, 2007 at 2:28 pmIt is sad that we have thugs and a crime family controlling the executive branch of government….it is sad that all the thugs, including both of those in this article are not hanging on a rope for the crimes they are responsible for. Cornyn is a worthless piece of bushie.

Seems to be a LOT of that stain on and from Texas is smeared all over the world as well. Where does Texas get so many slimeballs from anyway? One would think they find a way to destroy their nest.
August 27th, 2007 at 2:46 pmI heard that the “texans” are being herded home to protect their base, the texas mafia base. The texas mob that redistricted the prayree and put this whole country into a tail spin.
August 27th, 2007 at 2:49 pmRove and the Gonzo will be on a mission to protect the queen bee in sen cornyn. They fear that if cornyee looses his seat in the senate that their other redistricted cronnies they will loose their seats as well and so goes their strangle hold on the Senate.
The corn man is the man to beat if you desire a bit of a change.
Boo Hoo Georgie. Maybe someone can get him a copy of Gannons upcoming book to use as his new security blankie. Republicans are such cry babies.
August 27th, 2007 at 2:55 pmew.
August 27th, 2007 at 2:56 pmI’m sincerely hoping there’s another current going on below the surface, another set of documents, emails or other evidence that is now going to surface to show Gonzo perjored, lied and otherwise conspired to commit felonious crimes against this country.
August 27th, 2007 at 2:56 pmwas it just me? or did I hear bush say “`Judge` Gonzales decided to leave his position…”
well, we know who is his next nominee for the supreme court….
August 27th, 2007 at 2:57 pmIt’s Georgie that’s sad . . .
A Sad Sack-o-Sh!t.
August 27th, 2007 at 2:58 pmAlberto Gonzales – The saddest attorney general ever in the history of this country. He’s neck in neck now with Dumbo whose legacy has already been written as the “saddest president ever in the history of the country”.
How sad! Don’t let the door hit you in the ass on your way out, Gonzo!
August 27th, 2007 at 3:10 pmNow Bush is being a crybaby on national television? Looks more like a psychotic break to me. The Divider is crying?? He’s totally lost it now.
August 27th, 2007 at 3:11 pmMaybe it was Gonzo who was Larry Flynt’s next “out”??

I would not spread a bunch of “cretins” on my toasts. I would call them pigs and start the impeachment process ASAP though…
August 27th, 2007 at 3:28 pmWhat is sad is that Bush is still in office, Gonzo was not impeached six months ago, and the braindead of the repugnican party believe all the sh*t that emanates from the White House.

I feel your frustration, but it’s really not cool to wish somebody dead. Leave that for the trolls who are basically soulless.
It’s easy to look at Bush and Cheney as rabid dogs that, for the sake and safety of the rest of us, should be eliminated. But there are ways of neutralizing them that don’t involve assassination.
Your other idea — jail — has more potential. If there was any justice at all, Bush and Cheney would be thoroughly investigated on their actions leading to the Iraq invasion, the U.S. Attorney scandal, American torture practices, cronyism, contempt of congress, unconstitutional executive orders, etc. etc., tried, convicted, and jailed.
August 27th, 2007 at 3:36 pmAt the very least I want to see that this miserable administration has their proper place in history and it’s correctly written for all future generations to see what a horrific state this country once was in because we stopped questioning our leaders and blindly accepted the lies they pushed thru.
I hope it’s shown that this is great example on why all Americans need to be active in the democratic process or it will no longer be a democracy. That fear can sweep people to allow those who want to distort this country into power.
Whether Bush sees the inside of a jail cell, or just the confines of the Crawford ranch I hope that all of America sees him (and his administration) as the one(s) who almost destroyed this country.

But that won’t bring back the 3700 brave men and women he sent to be killed or the over 20,000 wounded, who came back to sub-standard treatment or the millions of displaced Iraqis or the 100s of thousnads killed.
Besides, he will hide out in Paraguay, they have no US extradition ….. and is a bit more civilized than Crawford.
August 27th, 2007 at 3:55 pmSad. Pobrecito, I will cry a tear for you after I get through with the tens of thousands you have helped send to death and dismemberment in Iraq along with your master.
Chingate en el culo Gonzo!
Gonzo’s first book will be titled, “If I Had Done It”.
August 27th, 2007 at 4:13 pmNothing will bring back the 3700 or the thousands of contractors that have died. Or the tens of thousands of the dead Iraqis. History is filled with victims of the polictical chess game. My hope is that America can learn to participate in our govt. instead of allowing them to push a specific agenda on us.
August 27th, 2007 at 4:19 pmIt is sad that our little woodenhead president ever appointed the little titmouse.

August 27th, 2007 at 4:50 pmI see nothing sad, Gonzales stepped over the lines one too many times. It is quite lame that he chose to fade away instead of to burn out, but maybe now he can finally help the damned investigation into all the stuff he so conveniently couldn’t remember. Gonzales has to help the people convict Bush and Cheney for war crimes because war crimes were plenty on their very hands and Gonzales doesn’t want the Den Hague Tribunal to think he initiated all of them, does he? Suppose Bush and Cheney do remember some of that stuff, what would Gonzales say?
August 27th, 2007 at 6:19 pmA sad day ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. These dopes have no idea what they’re doing. A sad day is like when Bush and his SS troopers stole two elections. A sad day is the killing of the Geneva conventions the murder of Habeus Corpus and the justification of torture by alleged Christian politicians. The American people are and have been wading in Bush bullshit for the entire time he’s been in office. He will leave a rich man and he will think he has a special place in heaven. In my book he sucks big time and he is the worst criminal anti-constitution, rule of law president we have ever had. SMU should be proud to have this shithead’s library. Congratulations SMU!
August 27th, 2007 at 11:08 pmSad was the witch hunt started by New York’s Charles Schumer speaking to the inner racist of so called white “liberals” and rethuglicans. All the incredible amout of bile coming out of the freaks calling for Mr. Gonzales resignation, never telling the truth they hated a Latino being the chief law enforcement officer for the entire nation. A sad day indeed for equality and justice!

That’s rich. You guys hiding behind some faux affirmative action..! I guess that’s why you’ll be for a Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama or Bill Richardson for president, isn’t it?
August 28th, 2007 at 3:28 amIsn’t he the one who was suppose to impeach him? Guess he just couldn’t do that to his good ole buddy.
