Gonzales to attend White House correspondents’ dinner.
Gonzales to attend White House correspondents’ dinner.
Out of work and under investigation by Spanish authorities for his role in authorizing the Bush administration’s torture regime, former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales will be coming back to Washington, D.C. to attend this weekend’s White House correspondents’ dinner. The Washington Post’s Sleuth reports:
You might think Gonzo would be a little bashful about showing up at a place that will be jam-packed full of the new guard in the Obama administration and the very Democrats in Congress who drove him from office. But no, he’ll be there all right this Saturday night. Gonzales is a confirmed guest of the Houston Chronicle, his old hometown paper.
Wanda Sykes is the entertainer for tomorrow night’s event, and President Obama will also deliver some (funny?) remarks.

YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!
May 8th, 2009 at 10:22 amWanna bet Gonzo shows up with several copies of his resume?
PEACE
May 8th, 2009 at 10:23 amFurther example that the Bush Crime Family have no shame. He’s probably bringing his resume with him.
May 8th, 2009 at 10:24 amHow the hell does this guy have the nerve to show his face anywhere near D.C.? Moreover, who decided to invite him in the first place???
May 8th, 2009 at 10:24 amJust one big chummy family, the beltway boys. No surprise he’d show up here since no business allowed, press-wise anyway.
May 8th, 2009 at 10:27 amGonzales to attend White House correspondents’ dinner.
– - Fredo just couldn’t pass up the free dinner, courtesy of the Houston Chronicle. We can only hope that Fredo has a Twitter account and live blogs the event. Fredo will be the one sitting at the kiddie table all by himself.
May 8th, 2009 at 10:28 amWanda Sykes? Wow – good choice. It’s nice to have a sense of humor back in the White House.
May 8th, 2009 at 10:29 amIf there is any justice or rule of law left in America, Gonzales will be led out of the proceeding in hand-cuffs for his role in war crimes.
Unfortuantely, there is a better chance of Rush Limbaugh changing political parties than war crimes justice being upheld anytime soon.
May 8th, 2009 at 10:35 amLOL. Just proves some people will do anything for a free meal and exposure, most likely among grand old perverts …Blessings…This is a hoot!
May 8th, 2009 at 10:36 amHAHAHAHA…..MAY AS WELL….HE AIN’T GOT SHIT TO DO.
May 8th, 2009 at 10:36 amGonzo’s going because he knows he won’t face any risk, not from the domestic power structure.
May 8th, 2009 at 10:37 amGonzo has more guts than Sarah Palin?
Sounds right to me. Gonzo is also stupider. Hard to believe, I know, but he DID sign the Torture Memos and handed them off to George W. Bush, President Cretin. Gonzo was brave–he put his head right on the chopping block. Brave, loyal, and incredibly stupid, because you should NEVER trust the Bush Crime Family. They will throw you under the bus as soon as they have to.
Just ask Kenny Boy Lay…
May 8th, 2009 at 10:37 amWANDA SYKES IS PERFORMING……WHY DOESN’T GONZO JUST PAINT A BULLSEYE ON HIS FOREHEAD
May 8th, 2009 at 10:42 amHmmm, does Gonzo do stand up?
Hopefully, Wanda Sykes will focus on this little turd, much like Colbert did a couple of years ago. She could rip him a new one before he knew what happened.
Go Wanda!
Alberto? Just GO!
May 8th, 2009 at 10:43 amDaddy-O: His signature may be on the Torture Memos, but he doesn’t remember signing them…so it’s ok…
May 8th, 2009 at 10:43 amWanda Sykes is the entertainer for tomorrow night’s event…
– - Will the Republicans in attendance be aware they’re in close proximity to a lesbian who advocates “opposite marriage”? Mercy, will the Republic survive?
May 8th, 2009 at 10:46 amArrest him if he shows up. He is a criminal.
May 8th, 2009 at 10:49 amMaybe he’s just going as a punchline. If the entire evening goes by without a joke at his expense, I’ll be surprised.
May 8th, 2009 at 10:49 amBadmoodman sed:
“Will the Republicans in attendance be aware they’re in close proximity to a lesbian…?”
I hear you can catch that sh*t. Like cholera.
ha ha
May 8th, 2009 at 10:49 amI hope there’s a dunk-tank.
May 8th, 2009 at 10:50 amMaybe Gonzo was invited only to do dishes and take out the trash.
May 8th, 2009 at 10:52 amAny chance President Obama will choose Gonzo for the SCOTUS?
Hey, it’s Friday, smile!
May 8th, 2009 at 10:58 amI didn’t know Wanda Sykes did political comedy. I was kinda hoping The President would have the balls to face a Colbert beatdown.
Still she’ll probably be 100 times better than that Bush impersonator that the talking heads LOLed over for no good reason.
May 8th, 2009 at 10:58 amPoint of fact: “opposite marriage” is heterosexual marriage and my favorite new term of 2009.

But it’s still funny.

May 8th, 2009 at 11:03 amWhy in the Hell would ANYBODY invite this criminal? He should be in jail, not out to dinner. This man is a disgrace. Can’t he go off into hiding with Bush in his segregated gated community?
May 8th, 2009 at 11:06 am.
Sounds like Gonzales is going back to D.C. to thank the “haves” for keeping his hide safe. I mean, if it weren’t for the cooperation of the “media” keeping him out of the limelight and the cooperation of the belt way for not pressing him for his role and his lack of honor…
… He’d have to attend via a CCTV from a jail cell.

May 8th, 2009 at 11:10 amGonzo to Garzon “Don’t taze me, bro!”
May 8th, 2009 at 11:12 amA while back, a sheriffs department sent out fliers to people who had warrants out for their arrest that stated the person had won an HDTV or some high value prize. All they had to do was “show up” to claim their “prize”. The idiots showed up and were promptly arrested. Hmmmmmm.

stealing from others again, eh trace?

i think it’s time for you, trace,
to bow down to “the liberty tree“.
and may god have mercy on your soul.

ps – talked to ian, is it true you’ve
always been crazy?
:\
May 8th, 2009 at 11:24 amGonzales will be lobbying for favors and a pardon. He will try to get to President Obama and Eric Holder to plea his case. Now Gonzo might have to join in his sister Teresa’s business of selling drugs for some quick cash. As most of the Bush appointees Gonzo is on his own. He thought it was funny during his hearing when he said 70 plus times he couldn’t recall now he’ll hear that from the Obama Administration as they tell Gonzo to ” TALK TO THE HAND”.

You are a liar Joe Cantwell. You have not talked to him because you have not called him.

now wait a minute trace,
don’t go blaming me because you
still haven’t found work. if you’d spend
more time working the phones and less time
hanging around here acting like “mr. big stuff”
then maybe, just maybe, you could get off assistance
and generate your own income. for some it’s a matter of pride.

i wish you luck.
and please use a “pleasant” phone voice.

May 8th, 2009 at 11:36 amTracy is po’d because the world prosecuted Nazi war criminals.
Tracy doesn’t know “rendition” from “extraordinary rendition”.
May 8th, 2009 at 11:40 amHe’s part of MC Rove’s funky bunch.
May 8th, 2009 at 11:41 amDo you think any of the commedians will say anythiing to upset Gonzo ?
I’ve gotta admit, I’m a little conflicted with Wanda Sykes as she is usually a little too edgy for me, but still hilarious. Now I’m trying to picture Wanda Sykes with an open microphone and a lot of time with Gonzo in the audience.
May 8th, 2009 at 11:43 amObama will also deliver some (funny?) remarks.
President Obama, “Thanks Wanda, I think I almost peed myself on that last joke! Thank you all for coming tonight everyone and don’t forget to tip your waitress…officers, please arrest that man, Mr. Gonzales!”
Well like someone said, “it’s Friday”. I can dream can’t I?
May 8th, 2009 at 11:45 am…
spring, patriot,
with trace it’s a daily cry
for help. try to be patient.
i’m in touch with ian.
we’re making progress.
…
thanks.

I am not blaming you for anything. I am just calling you out for the liar that you are.
“just maybe, you could get off assistance
and generate your own income.”
But I do as a registered architect. Right now was are working on getting UTMB Galveston back in shape because of hurricane Ike. Millions of dollars and years of work to be done. If you would actually like a job instead staying at home bumming around put an application in here at our Houston office.

king of your world,
that’s wonderful trace!
ready for a nap?

May 8th, 2009 at 11:48 amYeah, he’ll be there, waiting on tables.

May 8th, 2009 at 11:56 amThis so emblematic of chummy, incestuous D.C.. There will be no prosecutions.
May 8th, 2009 at 11:58 amprivate bounties are legal in the USA. i am currently supporting one that will reward whomever lets us know who our local spray paint artist is.
how can it be illegal to support a private bounty in another country? when will the international bounty on this bunch of crooks be issued? how do i support it? if they open a paypal account, i will happily give them $50 a week and build the pot until somebody snatches them off the street and ships them to spain for the reward money.
i wonder how long Gonzo and feith will be walking the streets with a million dollar bounty hanging on them? i hear blackwater has laid off hundreds of US mercenaries. this should get interesting.

No just annoyed with a gnat named Cantwell.

you know name calling is considered a sign of progress.
trace, is there something you’d like to share

and speak from the heart, please.

May 8th, 2009 at 12:22 pmI see the trolls are being deployed on a 1 per thread basis now.
How long did it take troll central to figure out they could save a few nickels by doing that?

damn, that’s what ian said.

May 8th, 2009 at 12:41 pmTo Badmoodman @ #25 – My comment was not meant to be racist.
May 8th, 2009 at 12:43 pmI think Gonzo is well suited for those tasks and nothing more. He’s certainly unsuitable for Attorney General of the U.S. or any other leadership position.

No. With all of you typos, do you need one?

May 8th, 2009 at 1:02 pm…
trace if this anger of yours is about you being
a “second tier” troll don’t let it bother you. i think
it’s a good thing because it means you’re showing
your “human side” to others. it means that, despite
you’re efforts to hide it, you really are a liberal.
i’m going to call ian and tell him about your break through.

hang in there.

May 8th, 2009 at 1:08 pmTracy__5, Wow. You sure are entertaining. Are you “multi-tasking” as a comedian, troll and architect today? That’s talent we can believe in!

May 8th, 2009 at 1:15 pmGonzo thinks Wanda Sykes won’t rip him a new one? Sideways?
Colbert set a necessary precedent, and I hope Wanda continues the tradition.
May 8th, 2009 at 2:56 pmAnd what’s up with the serial cry for help, Tracy? Or are you getting paid by the post?
So far you’ve earned about enough for a good meal at Sizzlers.

May 8th, 2009 at 3:10 pmGonzales, war criminal, has no sense of Shame!
May 8th, 2009 at 3:25 pmI hope someone makes a citizens arrest of Gonzo. If I were were there I sure would.
May 8th, 2009 at 4:40 pmHave mercy please!! Who decides who gets the invitation? What is the criterion? Do you have to be in his position as a ne’er do well possible indictment in the wings? Are most of them possible felons too? Is this his good bye dinner?
Since we don’t investigate, we don’t prosecute, then maybe the government of Spain would like to pull up in a black sedan and give him the old rendition 123. Perhaps since we don’t have the morals to do the right thing, the Bush crime family can be picked off one at a time. They will all be there at that dinner.
This phony dinner. Remember when Bush attended several years back? He made jokes about no WMD’s being found. He picked up the table cloth and said, “none under here.” People thought that was funny. Are the same low life’s that attended that one, attending this one? How funny is it now? Millions of people in Iraq displaced, thousands dead, billions of dollars gone, our standing in the world and moral authority gone. An illegal war and torture. Hey, I have a sense of humor. All these years and we are still there. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED. I’m laughing now. Or as Palin would put it. “You betcha.”
What we need is a Tsunami to sweep through Washington, and take the whole government out. You know. The government by the people and for the people?
May 8th, 2009 at 4:49 pmJournalists will no doubt be nice to Gonzo because, well, this is a party. It’s all off the record and all that. No need to do their jobs off company time.
Hmmmmm.

May 8th, 2009 at 11:38 pmI agree. So SICK of the attention msnbc gives Cheeeeeney while he rides off in his wheelchair into the sunset scott-free! That dirtball needs to be taken out back and shot!
At this point, the dems look like a bunch of sissies for letting the rethugs get away w/ war crimes. Oh wait…both the dems AND rethugs know 9-11 was an inside job. Regardless, if the tables were turned, the rethugs would be prosecuting the dems w/o mercy if a dem president took part in war crimes.
May 8th, 2009 at 11:42 pmNoooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Get this man out of the spotlight……..so embarassing to Chicanos and Latinos.
