Bush affirms support for Gonzales

By PETE YOST and LARA JAKES JORDAN, Associated Press Writers 54 minutes ago

WASHINGTON -
President Bush sent a powerful message of support Tuesday for embattled Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, calling his longtime friend to express unwavering support in the face of calls for his resignation.


The White House also denied reports that it was looking for possible successors for Gonzales. "Those rumors are untrue," White House deputy press secretary Dana Perino said.

Bush called Gonzales from the Oval Office at 7:15 a.m. EDT and they spoke for several minutes about the political uproar over the firings of eight U.S. attorneys, an issue that has thrust the attorney general into controversy and raised questions about whether he can survive. The White House disclosed Bush's call to bolster Gonzales and attempt to rally Republicans to support him.

"The president reaffirmed his strong backing of the attorney general and his support for him," Perino said. "The president called him to reaffirm his support."

Question: Is that Bush's nickname for him? At first I thought you'd made it up, then I realized this "president" is so immature, so juvenile, so inappropriate at all times that that very well COULD be his Bush-bestowed nickname.

"Notice to all republicon cronies: report immediately to
your occult darkside cabal headquarters. The honesty, decency and
and liberty Americans are storming our Cabal 'Justice' Clubhouse
in an effort to uncover the truth. We must, as usual, prevent the truth
from getting out there. All cronies on deck."

3. Gonzales

is cleaning out his desk, telling his staff "Jesus H. Christ, he's "reaffirmed" his support for me. And he's going to rally a criminal crime family to support me. Maybe he'll let me buy a parcel of land in Paraguay.

4. Yes, I recall bush expressed support for Rummy just before he axed him.

[PATRICK]

6. Bush's choice of words

undercuts his bravado. This IS the sort of qualified loyalty the Bushes express before reluctantly accepting another "resignation".

Does Bush dare support the ACTIONS of Gonzales, caught in all their illegality with strings attached to the higher ups? If he does, impeachment is served.

So tough guy tinpotty dictator, just take a two year vacation or something and pray they stop at Gonzales.

7. Gotta keep the myth alive that "Bush is fiercely loyal"

It's a sure thing that if Bush had been on the Titanic, he'd have found a wig, dress, lipstick, and a small child- and been the first one in a lifeboat.

He doesn't even have the decency to fire people- he forces them to dishonor themselves and lie about why they leave. It's all about the Chimperor's pleasure...

10. And THEN he'd abandon the small child.

abu: I get the image...

moron*: I hope you understand, it's nothing personal, it's just you are, well, toxic.

abu: but I was just doing what you told me to do, you signed off on the firings.

moron*: yeah, how about that, huh? ain't that a bitch. I give the go ahead and you get canned. Just how it works sometimes.

abu stammers into the phone nonsensical.

moron*: oh abu, it's gonna be good, we have a place for you down in paraguay, you ain't doing no time...

abu: time? jail???

moron*: heck, look at libby, he's been convicted, but he ain't in jail.

abu: that's because he hasn't be sentenced yet...

moron*: bahhhh, details details. I'll fire off a pardon before you can say get out of jail free.

abu: you would do the same for me?
