Married to the Mob: Only Impeachment Will Get America a Divorce

BuzzFlash was – on an ongoing basis – one of the first websites, back in 2001, to compare the Bush and Cheney administration to an organized crime family. At that time, we were generally dismissed by the mainstream media as kooks. Now, even some mainstream columnists and editorial boards have started to realize that the concept of the Busheviks functioning like the mob is not an analogy pushed to the extreme.

If we were to look at character by character comparisons with the "Godfather," clearly Cheney is the Marlon Brando father of the clan – and Alberto Gonzales is a dumbed down version of the Robert Duvall "consigliere." That leaves Bush as "Fredo," the weak, sniveling younger brother who ultimately betrays his family by giving away the travel plans of his older brother and "Godfather-to-be," played by James Caan, who is gunned down as a result.(Ironically, Bush refers to Gonzales as "Fredo," bestowing one of his childish nicknames on the Bushevik mob "consigliere.")

But what struck us most about how the Corleone family controlled mob insiders was this: loyalty and fear were two sides of the same coin. So it is with the Bush Administration. If you are loyal – whatever your incompetence – you are promoted. If you are disloyal, everything is "fair game" in bringing you down.Just ask a host of former Pentagon generals, Joe Wilson, Valerie Plame, Paul O’Neill, John Dilulio, Richard Clarke – and a long list of others who have dared speak the truth.
Betray the Omerta of the Bush-Cheney organized crime family and retribution is quick and certain.

The Bush-Cheney line of defense is that if you can’t prove we have broken the law in a court, you can’t touch us – and you can’t prove that we broke the law because we control the Justice Department and the Federal Courts. Therefore, Congress can uncover clear lawbreaking, but it can’t get the Justice Department to pursue prosecution, because the White House has prohibited it from doing so.
Besides, how is Alberto Gonzales going to permit the indictment of himself? From Karl Rove’s perspective, he has Congress checkmated, even if the head of the FBI basically says that Alberto "Consigliere" Gonzales lied before Congress.

...........

It’s time for Congress to put an end to mob rule in America, which began with a silent coup through the theft of an election by a mobbed-up Supreme Court "5" in 2000.

It’s time to restore the Constitution as the document upon which America’s government and system of jurisprudence is built.

It’s time to impeach Bush, Cheney and Gonzales.

The Bushevik mob gives Congress no choice.

Senators and U.S. Representatives must do their duty, unless they want the spirit of Al Capone to continue to turn America into a nation run by lawless crooks.

1. another buzzflash MOB article

5/17/07 Married to the Mob, the Story of Alberto G.
We don’t know if Alberto Gonzales is married or not, because your family life comes second when you are married to the mob.

And if there were any doubters about BuzzFlash’s long-time contention that Gonzales is the consigliere to the Bush organized crime family, it is now gone from anyone who has read about the hit man visit of Gonzales and former Bush Chief of Staff, Andrew Card, to a hospitalized, medicated, severely ill John Ashcroft. You see, the two enforcers for Bush and Cheney were trying to force a gravely weakened Ashcroft into approving the infamous illegal domestic wiretapping powers that "Fredo" Bush and Godfather Cheney so greedily sought.
