Alberto Gonzales, the Sequel

[groovedaddy]

Former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales should have considered himself a lucky man when he was allowed to resign in disgrace in August 2007 without being hauled into Congress on perjury or contempt charges.

He was in the thick of President George W. Bush’s most damaging attacks on the rule of law. As White House counsel, he helped to justify torture and illegal wiretapping. As attorney general, he politicized the Justice Department. And he misled Congress in both jobs.

He could have told the truth about those things. Or, he could have gone quietly away and waited for a subpoena from the Obama administration.

Instead, he is trying for some sort of bizarre comeback by painting himself as an upstanding man victimized by a “mean-spirited town.”

1. Screw Gonzo and the horse he rode in on.

He willingly served his master and should pay the penalty. I have no sympathy for that lying SOS.

2. I think it's wonderful

that this little slime so willingly served his master Fuckface, but doesn't hold any animosity to how he's been ditched by Fuckface instead of being set up in some nice, comfy job. What kind of idiot mentality doesn't rage against this betrayal, I wonder?

Schmuck has absolutely no soul. Or brain.
