Gonzales ‘angry’ his reputation has been tarnished: I don’t deserve this treatment.
The New York Times Magazine has a new interview with former Bush attorney general Alberto Gonzales, who is set to begin a job teaching political science at Texas Tech this fall. Gonzales is also currently writing a book — although he doesn’t yet have a publisher — in which he plans to discuss more about why he resigned. In the meantime, Gonzales said that he has been upset at the way his legacy has been ruined:
Would you agree that your reputation was damaged by your service as attorney general?
It has had an effect, a negative effect, no question about it, and at times it makes me angry because it is undeserved. But I don’t want to sound like I am whining. At the end of the day, I’ve been the attorney general of the United States. It’s a remarkable privilege, and I stand behind my service.
Gonzales truly believes that he has been unfairly characterized. “What is it that I did that is so fundamentally wrong, that deserves this kind of response to my service?” he asked last year. (Here’s a reminder.) Gonzales still has not received any offers for jobs from any law firms since leaving the White House.

Just because nearly two years have passed since your contemptible tenure doesn’t make your self-victimizing the least bit acceptable, Gonzo.

August 7th, 2009 at 8:09 pmGee, ‘berto, guess what?
Lots of people don’t get the treatment they deserve. For some, it’s downright torture.
Enjoy the reputation, and may you live a long, long time with it.
August 7th, 2009 at 8:11 pmNo, you deserve the treatment you authorized for others.

No Order 66 to a sleeper to ice Gonzo.
August 7th, 2009 at 8:13 pmAnyone who was in bushes administration deserves to have their reputation tarnished,at least the ones who knew about all of the corruption. If you knew about any laws that were being broken in bushes office then you had the option to resign. So gonzales tuff sht.

Dear Mr. Gonzales,
Your tenure was tarnished by YOU!

August 7th, 2009 at 8:13 pmThis pig (I apologize to pigs) does not realize that people died because of his decisions! Berto either has no soul or just doesn’t get it. This non-human makes me sick.
August 7th, 2009 at 8:15 pm***
alberto,
the attorney general who redefined his office
to become the nation’s first hall monitor.
***
August 7th, 2009 at 8:16 pmHe expects to be showered with praise for simply having held the title ‘Attorney General of the United States’ and, out of it, a propulsion to the Forbes’ list of richest Americans.
Republicans expect their “service” go unquestioned, even if it results in leaving a department in shambles.
August 7th, 2009 at 8:16 pmAlberto, why so sad?
I don’t understand why Mr. former Attorney General would be so down on himself. He’s mad at his own reputation? What has he done to correct his reputation? Apply for a job as a professor? What will he profess? War crimes? Torture?
Here is a taste of Alberto Gonzales’ reputation:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alberto_Gonzales#Controversies
August 7th, 2009 at 8:17 pmLook at the picture of gonzales. It looks like he has a nervous smile and hes crossing his fingers.
August 7th, 2009 at 8:17 pmHes probably thinking I hope none of the BS lies weve been telling the American people for eight years ever gets out.
My reputation my be tarnished.
The best thing Gonzales can do is confess. Confess and prove that he’s got a conscience.
August 7th, 2009 at 8:19 pmI am about to shed some crocodile tears. There are many far better people than Alberto Gonzales who are having trouble finding a decent job.
August 7th, 2009 at 8:26 pmMr. Gonzales, would you agree that this nation was damaged by your service as attorney general?
August 7th, 2009 at 8:28 pmHow suprising.
Alberto doesn’t “recall” what he did wrong.
We “recall”.
Gonzales deserves a bed in Federal prison, not a teaching position.
August 7th, 2009 at 8:29 pmOh, yes—sociopaths are so good at feigning that impish innocence. He knew exactly what evil he was justifying and felt not a single flinch of conscience. People who don’t have a conscience don’t feel flinches there.
August 7th, 2009 at 8:29 pmI think its Racism. After all, most of Bush’s white cohorts have been given great jobs -many in the current Administration!- But no one wants to hire a Mexican criminal, oh My, No.
Conservatives, Republicans really do fear and hate minorities. They have mostly contempt for those like Gonzo or Steele who sell-out to them.
August 7th, 2009 at 8:30 pmShit-kicker U (Aka Texas Tech) is paying that lying little smudge of cat-puke Gonzales $100,000 to teach ONE phucking course which, from the description I saw, will be nothing more than a semester-long exculpation of the Busheviks, and the vile Beto himself.
He was a real-estate lawyer, before he became the Chimp’s reliable prostate licker.
If I had a kid at TT, I’d be livid.
August 7th, 2009 at 8:30 pm.
Oh come on now…
… He’s just trying to out do Palin.
.
August 7th, 2009 at 8:30 pmGo to bed with dogs, wake up fleas, as the saying goes. Mr Gonzalez seems certain who deserves what treatment. Some innocent people had their lives ruined and he worries about his reputation. Far be it for him to complain he complained.
August 7th, 2009 at 8:33 pmNo, Al, being hounded for your birth certificate when you were born in the U.S. has a negative effect that is undeserved. After the lying about Iraq, giving the OK for torture and politicizing your “justice” department, the only thing you have that is undeserved is your freedom
August 7th, 2009 at 8:34 pmAnother wingnut useful idiot who can’t see long-term. You have to do what’s right from the beginning without ambiguity or it doesn’t matter, even though the Bush years turned that upside down for a short period by rewarding wrong. Too bad you weren’t a WASP, huh? lol
The other Bushies will eventually face the Law Of Karma…
August 7th, 2009 at 8:40 pmBut I don’t want to sound like I am whining.”
- – Too late, Fredo.
August 7th, 2009 at 8:43 pmIs he frigging serious? The man is a criminal. After he frog-marched into Ashcroft’s hospital room to bully a sick, sedated man, he thinks he is being unfairly characterized?! What a disgrace!
August 7th, 2009 at 8:47 pmColin Powell disgraced, Condi with the boots, and Fedo all used like useful idiots.
August 7th, 2009 at 8:49 pmOops, Fedo = Fido
August 7th, 2009 at 8:50 pmYou can’t create so much wrong like the Bush administration did to the entire human planet consciousness and it not come back on them.
August 7th, 2009 at 8:54 pmSeems like Gonzo is giving Bush The Simple a run for the stupidest person to hold a high office.

August 7th, 2009 at 9:02 pmAlberto Gonzales was among the worst Attorneys General this country has ever had. He did not work on behalf of the PEOPLE, which is what is expected of members of the cabinet, but solely on behalf of George W Bush. He undermined some of the critical checks and balances envisioned by the founding fathers and permanently damaged the credibility of the United States Justice Department. He will be remembered as a craven puppet rather than as an Attorney General per se.

August 7th, 2009 at 9:20 pmPerhaps he is a nice guy at the backyard BBQ; but as AG he sold out and in order to do so, he had to lie to himself over and over. . . and now he believes his lies.

“Fredo”, I believe. Possibly connected to “The Godfather”, though I may be wrong about that. To Bush, this was a “term of endearment”. He often gave his friends nicknames that demeaned them in some way. It was his childish way of holding power over someone. He really didn’t respect people at all. I blame his parents.

August 7th, 2009 at 10:05 pmPoor Gonzo. He was picked to be AG not because of his intellegence or his court side manner. He was picked because he was a flunkie for Georgie Boy. Just like ‘Brownie’ (You’re doing a heck of a job!), Harriet Myers, and of course the master of sleaze, Karl(The Turd Bloosom) Rove. Yhese guys are nothing but toadies to serve in Bush’s dynasty. They didn’t get their apponitments because of their abilites, they got them because Bush loved loyalists. It’s that simple.

The sense of entitlement is astounding…I say we have proper investigations and war crimes trials, then Gonzo won’t have to play dumb and either wonder what he did wrong or claim he doesn’t deserve this treatment…he’s right, he deserves more–a lot more…
August 7th, 2009 at 11:06 pmi wonder how long fredo will be walking the streets of our fair land with a million dollar cash bounty in spain hanging upon his head? not long. he will be knocked in the head and thrown on the next jet to Barcelona. the spanish courts would deal with this war criminal the way Obama should. 3 hots and a cot. a fair trial and a first-class hanging.

August 7th, 2009 at 11:43 pmNow the Hispanics have a person they can be proud and of and Gonzo is feeling the heat. Our first Hispanic Supreme Court Justice Sotomayor. Gonzo was a complete embarrassment to his culture and many are letting him know it. I hope Gonzo gets some vacation time when he goes on trial in Spain for his crimes. Next he’ll take a leave of absent to go to his trial for War Crimes. The Students should wear shirts reading ” My teacher is a War Criminal”. Just think of the parents who are paying the school big bucks to have their son/daughter taught by one of US History’s biggest criminal ex Attorney General.
August 7th, 2009 at 11:48 pmWhy hasn’t one of the Right Wing Think Tanks taken him under their …. wing? If fools like Goldberg and Douthat have their inane blibber-blabber syndicated in our newspapers, why not Gonzo? why isn’t he hosting a Fox circus show? It is kind of strange.
August 8th, 2009 at 12:04 amDumb Question:
Isn’t being AG of the US – the highest legal post in the US Govt (I differentiate practicing law from being a judge on SCOTUS) ? Isn’t that usually a pinnacle of prestige ?
So what is different with Gonzales and Ashcroft ?
(BTW – Colbert had an interview with Ashcroft’s assistant who defends municipalities that enact anti-foreigner laws, such as prosecuting those who rent to illegal aliens. And I thought that conservatives were against more laws and govt intrusion…..)
August 8th, 2009 at 12:18 amIf Gonzo had not saved Bush’s ass in a drunk driving incident years ago, he never would have made it out of Texas. He was AG because of his friendship with dumbya; he was totally unqualified, he was inept, he was corrupt, he lied to Congress.
August 8th, 2009 at 12:56 amIf there were justice, he would be in prison himself.
Hm. Let’s see. He starts his association with the Shrub by serving as his consigliere in TX, recommending as many whackings by death penalty as he can, with virtually zero recommendations for clemency or commutation. Kill ‘em all and let God sort ‘em out, eh, Speedy?
Then he goes on to be the Shrub’s consigliere in ShrubDC and further burnishes his sterling rep by signing off on almost any stupid illegal thing that Shrub, Darth Cheney, Darth Addington, Dumbbolt Rummy, and god-knows-who-else submits for consideration.
And the list just goes on and on. Regardless of whether he’s the counselor or attorney general, he manages to go right up to the edge of illegal and unethical and never crosses over to the right side. He always serves the private interest of his employer or the private interest of the political party, just never quite serving the public interest of justice, fairness, and truth.
Damn. He’s so good at self-tarnishing, he ought to be proud. Who would have ever thought that he’d be angry at himself for screwing the pooch so badly. Heck, he was only servicing his masters.
August 8th, 2009 at 12:56 amAdd Bolton and Alberto to the Bush Administration “Pity Parade” as it circles the GOP Neocon drain on the way down to the Karl Rove Cesspool.

THAT’S WHY. You are a criminal, you are a torturer and a liar. YOu know perfectly well that you subverted the constitution, you used your office for political ends, and you weren’t truthful with the Congress when they asked you about it. You were the most disgraceful atty general since John Mitchell (I’m sure you don’t recollect who he is either).
You should be disbarred and in jail.

I beg to differ Albombo…It is all of the State prosecutors you had fired for not playing along with the politicization of the Justice department who didn’t deserve to be treated the way they were treated. You sir, can consider yourself lucky, for if it were up to me, you along with your handlers in the Bush regime would all be swinging from ropes by now.
August 8th, 2009 at 7:41 amFunny how things work out in life.
When you demonstrate how stupid you are, for example, Sarah Palin, objective observers usually point that out.
When you are criminal and lie repeatedly about your anti-American, Anti-constitutional activities to advance a police state and fascist, imperialist regime, objective observers also point that out and develop their own rational opinions about people that do crap like that.
Maybe you noticed how many prior former attorneys general that preceded you that didn’t have their reputation affected negatively, since they did not commit the crimes you did.
August 8th, 2009 at 8:21 amNuts. I could care less about Alberto, unless someone finally gets around to prosecuting and jailing him, but I’m worried that RUCerious is never going to explain that Richard Boone reference. He had brains and dignity, even in a flick as stupid as The Last Dinosaur, and could never have played Alberto in any medium.

August 8th, 2009 at 8:49 amFellow citizens, scroll up and take a hard look at one of the individuals who forever took your birthright from you and your children to ever be proud to be an American. Yeah, you can still go overseas and most of the people there will be polite, but the color of the butterfly wings have been permanently rubbed off. And then view some of the video of the “birther” morons acting like goodamn fools who voted for Bush twice and McCain/Palin totally oblivious to the damage they done to other citizens and to themselves.
August 8th, 2009 at 8:56 amGonzo fails to recognize his own complicity; it is he who tarnished his reputation.
All the wingnuts are the same way. They believe that it was we who destroyed Bush’s presidence and not Bush himself. “So it’s payback time.” They are truly whacked.
August 8th, 2009 at 8:59 amIn checking in to TP this morning, I see the same thread on that little pissant, Gonzo.
The guy should be in prison.
August 8th, 2009 at 9:04 amBut instead of any embarrassment or shame for the role he played in the most corrupt administration in history, he behaves like a whining, spoiled brat — “boo-hoo, my reputation is preventing me from hooking up with a legitimate law firm, and it’s not my fault!”
We had nothing to do with Bush’s failure. We didn’t have any access to the MSM. The right-wing does and has, though. I never saw anything about the Downing Street Memos or anything about anything that went on for 8 years. If we had had access to the MSM, Bush wouldn’t have got a second term and much of the damage could have been prevented. The fact that most Americans haven’t a clue about all we know and discuss on the lefty blogs prove that.
August 8th, 2009 at 9:04 amThe sheer incompetence of the last 8 years is staggering. There in nothing they didn’t touch and despoil. The fact that the first Hispanic American appointed to such a high level like the Justice Department and was Gonzalez is a slap across the face of the Hispanic community forever, too.
August 8th, 2009 at 9:09 amBah hahahahahahaha! Gonzales doesn’t like the fact he stood up for war criminals and the people are calling him out on it!
I hope he, Bush, and Cheney spend the rest of their days looking over their shoulders scared out of their minds.
August 8th, 2009 at 9:12 amDon’t mean to rant, but that little pissant is whining after taking so much good from all Americans forever and having done so much damage in order to enrich himself is really ticking me off.
August 8th, 2009 at 9:12 amI hope he, Bush, and Cheney spend the rest of their days looking over their shoulders scared out of their minds.
There isn’t any statute of limitations and things have a way of changing out in the future and one of my favorite basic sayings: They can’t stop time…
August 8th, 2009 at 9:16 amAnd isn’t it funny that “Patients United Now” funded by the oil companies has an acronym of “PUN”. Not lost on me whatsoever! Glenn Beck made a point on Friday on his radio show about ACORN’s acronym, because he said that an ACORN grows into the mighty oak tree and then went on to say that shills like this will start with an acronym and then create the name. Geeeee…………I guess the right wing oil companies do the same thing, huh Glenn? Spit.
August 8th, 2009 at 9:19 amI remember an interview of Ted Nugent years ago. In it he said, “The reason I love America is because we make all the other countries look like shit.” Amazing. I wonder if he would dare say that now.
August 8th, 2009 at 9:21 amGo up to any American and ask them what the Downing Street Memos were or anything discussed on the lefty blogs about the Bush administration crimes. They still don’t know anything and would think you were either nuts or trying to start trouble.

August 8th, 2009 at 11:28 amAh. Good ol’ ‘Berto “Speedy Injustice” Gonzales is still here for comment.
Would all those gathered at the thread please return to the lead post and photo of Mr. Injustice and ask themselves, in unison with their inner snark, “Why is this man smiling?”

He himself tarnished his reputation.
He has no one to blame but himself.
By the way, Lou Dobbs is a moron.

Nuts. I could care less about Alberto, unless someone finally gets around to prosecuting and jailing him, but I’m worried that RUCerious is never going to explain that Richard Boone reference. He had brains and dignity, even in a flick as stupid as The Last Dinosaur, and could never have played Alberto in any medium.
Sorry. Midland, I was referring to Paladin… Have Gun Will Travel
August 8th, 2009 at 3:52 pmfredo is so toxic even 2 years after he left the bush cabal that NOBODY. no republican businessman has stepped up to hire him.
even people with no morals no conscience will have anything to do with him. even they find him repulsive. now THAT is funny.
August 8th, 2009 at 5:07 pmYou cannot polish a turd – you cannot tarnish it, either…

August 8th, 2009 at 7:37 pmGonzo, the former Attorney Criminal, could salvage his “reputation” somewhat if he would only turn “mob informant” and spill his guts about what was said in the meetings he had with Karl Rove, David Addington, John Yoo, Scooter Libby, Dick Cheney, George W. Bush, John Ashcroft, Condi Rice and any other of his fellow Republican co-conspirators intent upon establishing a Constitution-busting “permanent Republican majority.”
I’m certain a place can be found for Gonzo, and his family, in the witness protection program…where I’m certain he, and his family, would be safe, even after Erik Prince is charged with hunting them down.
Otherwise, the same cloud that Patrick Fitzgerald said hangs over Dick Cheney’s office, as well as the rest of the Bush administration, will follow Gonzo wherever he goes for the remainder of his life.
August 8th, 2009 at 8:26 pmWhat’s really fascinating about this story is how Bush, Cheney and Rove are not pulling strings for him. Why?
Does he really not know anything they fear? Does he have no leverage with them? Were they always just totally contemptuous of his henchman obedience and now can toss him aside like the empty shell he is? Why aren’t all the right wing firms stepping up? It’s weird. Like he’s being punished from the inside.
I thought the neocon cabal always protected and took care of their own.

Do you have some sort of insight that leads you to this preconclusion?
129. RUCerious says:
Now that you’ve explained that, how about explaining the dickhead portion and who your post was in reference to? What does Paladin have to do with anything?
August 8th, 2009 at 10:48 pmHe was referring to Paladin4piece
August 9th, 2009 at 12:14 amThanks for the explanation, EugeneDebs. Guess I was slow to catch that one!
Forgive me RUCerious for any confusion.
Good night all.

Seriously OT, but I was reminded of something by Wiz’s reference to Eric Prince of Xe/Blackwater.
It’s occured to me in the last few days that the reason Darth Cheney wanted the intel/covert ops stuff he was directing out of the Vice President’s office kept quiet is this. He wasn’t really concerned about any program he was pushing Langley into, nor was he really concerned about the stuff Seymour Hersh of the “New Yorker” had been sniffing around, that being the business of Cheney using DOD’s Joint Special Operations Command to go out and whack people.
What Darth Cheney was and is worried about is that he went completely off the reservation, completely outside the bounds of legality. He hired Blackwater as his own private covert ops unit; he was sucking in raw intel from Langley and DIA and using that to direct Blackwater operatives to hits, renditions, etc. Absolutely out-of-bounds stuff. (And given what we know of his and the Shrub’s track record, not only illegal, but screwed up and ineffectual.)
I leave that for your consideration.
August 9th, 2009 at 2:17 amGee Gonzales, I’m afraid “I DO NOT RECALL” you corrupt imbecile!
August 9th, 2009 at 5:14 amSo tired of the Bushco aholes acting as if their behavior has no consequences. If AG pulled his sh*% anywhere else but here, he would be in jail.
August 9th, 2009 at 9:42 amGonzales saved Ashcroft from getting the title of Worst Attorney General Ever. They both worked for the Worst President Ever.
August 9th, 2009 at 12:45 pmI don’t deserve this treatment.
To coin one of my favorite phrases:
‘Deserve’s got nothing to do with it’
