Will Gonzales play the race card?
Gonzales Has Few Republican Defenders Over Prosecutor Ousters
By James Rowley and Robert Schmidt

March 14 (Bloomberg) -- Attorney General Alberto Gonzales found few defenders in Congress among fellow Republicans as Democrats escalated demands for his resignation over the firing of eight U.S. attorneys.

The controversy intensified yesterday after a thick sheaf of administration e-mails showed President George W. Bush's White House staff initiated what Democrats called ``a political purge.'' Kyle Sampson, Gonzales's chief of staff and author of many of the e-mails, quit. ...

``I've overcome a lot of obstacles in my life to become attorney general,'' Gonzales, 51, said yesterday in admitting ``mistakes'' were made in handling the terminations. ``I am here not because I give up. I am here because I've learned from my mistakes.''

Gonzales blamed Sampson for withholding information about the firings, leading him and Deputy Attorney General Paul McNulty to provide inaccurate information to Congress.

What Gonzales really meant: "I am here because my mouth is indistinguishable from the chimp's anus."

1. Will white folks try to paint brown skinned folks into a corner by giving them the FALSE choice...
.... EITHER describe Gonzo in racist terms, OR you're a Gonzo lover.

Oh damn - we already know the answer to that question.

2. Race card....oh please.
Like Condi, and Colin? Ummm....gee...let me think. Race card? BushCo is so hoping that will come into play, it's just another smoke screen for them. This has nothing to do with ethnicity or race...or gender...or sexual orientation....or being... say...French.

Hispanics are generally considered to be Caucasian. These players are all on an even playing field, and, they are responsible individually and collectively.

3. Not to white non-hispanic Americans they're not - lol! This is one of those situations where...
... white is what the KKK (and the rest of dimwit white America with them) says it is - regardless of what anthropology might suggest.

5. In the 60's a history professor told us that 20% of white America has black heritage.

I'm thinking that percentage has increased, more than some what. I love the DNA thing. I thinking a lot of folks, potentially, could be for a big surprise. And, it is about...time. :)

edited for way too many smiley faces...go figure.
