kallend 2,027 #3 August 27, 2007 Quote almost didn't believe it anymore ... NYT WP CNN Is Chertoff gonna fly? Cheers, T Must be true, it's even on Newsmax. Good riddance. From NYT: "As recently as Sunday afternoon, Mr. Gonzales was denying through his press spokesman, Brian Roehrkasse, that he intended to leave. "Mr. Roehrkasse said Sunday afternoon that he had telephoned Mr. Gonzales about the reports circulating in Washington that a resignation was imminent, “and he said it wasn’t true, so I don’t know what more I can say.” "White House spokesmen also insisted on Sunday that they did not believe that Mr. Gonzales was planning to resign." Looks like the left hand is clueless about what the right hand is doing in this administration.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

He had a hell of a lot less power over the country than the US's top law-enforcement official, or POTUS, or a VP-who-is-acting-as-POTUS. I have a friend who has a theory that the Bush/Cheney administration is a real-life implementation of "The Hudsucker Proxy". i.e. Bush thinks he is in charge, but in reality Cheney is pulling all the strings, but letting Bush think he is running the country."There are only three things of value: younger women, faster airplanes, and bigger crocodiles" - Arthur Jones.

freethefly 6 #19 August 27, 2007 Considering what this administration has done to the people of this country, it's constitution and bill of rights... Bush and Thugs get what they get. If there is any justice in this country Bush and his gang of warmongers will spend the rest of their lives in prison. Hopefully Gonzales will be brought up on perjury charges and get what he deserves. Bush cries like a little girl...Whaaaaaaaaaaaaa. LOL. What a douchebag. WACO, Texas (Reuters) - President George W. Bush on Monday lashed out at critics of Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, who resigned from the top law enforcement post, for unfair treatment and dragging his name "through the mud." Bush, before leaving Texas to attend Republican fund-raisers, called Gonzales a man of integrity, decency and principle, and said he had reluctantly accepted the resignation, which came "after months of unfair treatment that has created a harmful distraction at the Justice Department." "It's sad that we live in a time when a talented and honorable person like Alberto Gonzales is impeded from doing important work because his good name was dragged through the mud for political reasons," he added. Can you believe this asswipe of a president "...And once you're gone, you can't come back When you're out of the blue and into the black."

I'm confused. When he says "political reasons" is he referring to Gonzales lying to Congress, violating the Constitution, or simply the system of checks balances that keeps us from having a king?I hope Congress keeps up the pressure and finishes their job Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnRich 4 #25 August 28, 2007 Quotesmall but very good victory for democracy, not to mention truth and justice Did you call for the resignation and prosecution of Janet Reno when she incinerated scores of men, women and children just because they were in an unapproved religious sect? How about when Randy Weaver's dog, son and wife were murdered by FBI snipers for a dispute over one inch of gun barrel length? Yeah, that darned Gonzalez was one evil son of a bitch.
