Do Bush and Cheny have a gnome fetish? How many other of their minions are gnomes, aside from Donnie and Bertie?

IMPEACH the scumbag and hopefully the rest of the criminals will fall like dominoes. Sorry I forgot, it would take a Congress that hasn’t already proven itself to be gutless to impeach him. Looks like Gonzo will ride out the storm.

#92184 The similarities in the Bush Admin. and the Godfather movies is exactly what came to my mind when reading this article.  Kind of scary to think our government is nothing more than a mafioso, but...sadly.

One reason for Bush not letting Attorney General Gonzales go that was not mentioned in the Time article was that Gonzales has more than enough detailed info on the dirt relating to W., not only in his time as President, but going all the way back to his Governorship, that if he was let go of, and he spilled his guts, Bush would be more than in a sorry state, to say the least.

His confused, inaccurate, and self-contradictory testimony before the Senate panel convinces no one at this point. He doesn’t even lie good. And how many times can he say “I don’t remember”?

His loyalty to Bush is reminiscent of the Tom Hagen character played by Robert Duvall in the “Godfather” movies. He was the family lawyer. He was not a blood relative of the Corleone family, but had been brought into the family as an orphan, given everything as a child, and then was sent to law school. He graduated, and became a lawyer, but he had only one client: the Corleone family. His undying loyalty and gratitude was only towards them.

In the movie you saw how he was present when the family was discussing plots to wipe certain people out. He was even present and observed a murder taking place. As a lawyer, he obviously knew murder was a crime, but, of course, he never broke the bond and betrayed the family.

Gonzales is a longtime close friend of George W. Bush, and owes his political career to him. No more than Duvall’s Tom Hagen character, he is not going to break with Bush.

On a personal level, having one’s own private consigliere may be beneficial for any number of reasons. Obviously not as good for the general welfare if it is being done to hurt other people.

Gonzales may have been good as a private, highly ethically questionable attorney for Bush and his family, but he has no credibility as the nation’s chief law enforcement officer.

You see the results…

When I was a kid (long ago) “professional” wrestling was a much smaller racket than it is now.  It went by the name of “All Star Wrestling” and was broadcast on Saturday mornings from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The “stars” of the day were few (Dick the Bruiser, the Crusher, the Vachon Brothers), and their opponents were fewer.  A regular “opponent” was a guy named Bob Rogers.  Rogers’ job was to get into the ring with one of the stars and allow himself to be bludgeoned into submission in an entertaining manner (flipped and thrown, having his head rammed in to the turn buckle, etc.).  Although Rogers would occasionally fight back, the end was never in doubt, and at the appropriate moment Rogers would be flattend and pinned.  This happened with such regularity that I used to wonder (I was nine at the time) why he would continue to submit himself t such pain and humiliation.  I realized later, of course, that the whole thing was scripted, and that he was just playing his part.

Alberto Gonzales is George Bush’s Bob Rogers.

Gonzo couldn’t be hired for any senior level job anywhere - except that he knows a few Bush secrets, like George’s DWI record that he kept hushed when W applied to the Guard to avoid Vietnam. Does he also know where W spent that time while he was awol from the Guard? Maybe some other interesting secrets?

That’s why he will keep his job!

Does this make him a Weebpublican?
