Attorney Douchebag

Well, if you haven't heard yet you need to crawl out from under that rock and read a newspaper or turn on the television, preferably not Fox News because the time has come, Gonzales has resigned!

The news came early this week and has brightened the eyes of most Democrats who have been avidly pushing for his resignation since he was appointed. Remember that whole fiasco over the firing of 9 U.S. attorneys? You know what I am talking about...when asked questions about the incident he responded by stating, "I do not recall." Let me remind you he responded like this more than 70 times while under oath. LIAR!

USA Today reports, "Gonzales, who entered the Bush orbit when he served as the then-Texas governor's general counsel in the 1990s, never understood that being the president's lawyer and confidant are utterly different from being the nation's top law enforcement officer.

Bush's combative, bitter acceptance of Gonzales' resignation showed that the president didn't grasp the distinction either. Nor did Bush seem to understand what has long been clear, even to the president's Republican allies on Capitol Hill: His amiable friend wasn't just excessively loyal — he was in over his head in a sensitive job..."

Even before he became attorney general, Gonzales seemed more interested in justifying the administration's aggressive use of executive powers than in applying the law. As White House counsel, his legal opinions stretched the Constitution to provide a rationale for abandoning the Geneva Conventions, holding terror suspects indefinitely without charges, and stripping Congress and the courts of any right to review the administration's acts. Shockingly, he tried to get his predecessor, John Ashcroft, to sign off on legally questionable intelligence-gathering methods while seriously ill in a hospital."

Good bye Alberto Gonzalez. It's time to board the train with all of the other Bush-league minions who have since left the administration. Good riddance. For more on the article referenced above check out USA Today.
