 E-Mails Contradict White HousePosted on Mar 15, 2007The White House has suggested that the idea to fire U.S. attorneys originated with former counsel Harriet Miers, but newly released e-mails show that Alberto Gonzales discussed the matter with political guru Karl Rove even before he was confirmed as attorney general. Related: Check out the Brad Blog’s excellent coverage of the voter-fraud angle of the scandal.

The fate of Karl Rove will surely be the same that of “Scooter” when he loses his position in Bush’s brain, but when ? May be hundred years later !

Gonzales uber alles! Hardly! He’s not the brightest bulb in the chandelier. His only claim to power was making sure that Bush’s DWI arrests didn’t surface in critical times. Weren’t you touched by his reciting his struggles as a man trying to earn a living - all it takes apparently is just burying one skeleton - provided that it’s the right skeleton of course!

Rove really is a political hack and he’s not very good at plying his trade in spite of the fact that he learned it from a real pro, the now deceased Lee Atwater. The book “Bush’s Brain” reveals that Rove’s nefarious deeds are ill-conceived, ill-planned and ill-executed. What he is good at is getting away with them - often at the expense of some poor schmuck who ends up taking the heat. Think Libby.
That said, Feinstein recently said that Gonzales’s claim that he serves at the pleasure of the president clearly shows that Gonzales thinks he’s Bush’s personal lawyer. He is not. Once he takes the oath of office as Attorney-General he works for this country and her people, not the president.
It’s pretty obvious by now that Gonzales, in keeping with his belief, is in office to serve Mr. Bush and his criminal cronies. Example: In 2002 Gonzales said, “The nature of the war on terror makes existing laws and international agreements irrelevant.” So here we are in 2007 living in a country where one man, George Bush, is the law, the only law and his enforcer is Alberto Gonzales. Pretty ominous.
