OT: Time to Go, Mr. Gonzales |
I think I'm beginning to understand. Bush is a nitwit, so he surrounds
himself with morons in an attempt to either make him look better or to have
servile patsies to take the fall for his mistakes. What he doesn't
understand is that all the mistakes are going to drag him down eventually,
too. Between their mistakes and his own mistakes, he is heading for a fall.
Cheney would love this, if he hadn't made so many mistakes himself that he's
now acting like a frightened bull.
Time to Go, Mr. Gonzales
By Ruth Marcus

"I believe in accountability," Attorney General Alberto Gonzales proclaimed
yesterday at a news conference that was a self-serving masterpiece of
passive voice and unpersuasive platitudes. "Like every CEO of a major
organization, I am responsible for what happens at the Department of
Justice. I acknowledge that mistakes were made here. I accept that
responsibility. And my pledge to the American people is to find out what
went wrong here, to access accountability and to make improvements so that
the mistakes that occurred in this instance do not occur again in the
future."
Is there anyone left -- seriously, is there a Republican member of the
Senate Judiciary Committee -- who has confidence in Gonzales's capacity to
fix this mess? Is there anyone who accepts Gonzales's CEO analogy -- and
thinks that a sentient board of directors wouldn't have fired him long ago?
Let's assume Gonzales's good faith: that he truly is upset about what
happened on his watch, just as he was upset last week about the FBI's
cavalier mishandling of its authority to issue "national security letters,"
and wants to make things right.
There is no reason to believe that he is capable of making a change. The
portrait of the Gonzales Justice Department that emerges from the e-mails
released yesterday, and from the attorney general's own comments, is of an
agency overseen by an absentee landlord, chronically clueless about what's
happening around him.
This is a man whose memory is so foggy that George W. Bush -- not exactly
Mr. Detail -- has a sharper recollection of their conversations than the
attorney general does. The president, according to White House spokeswoman
Dana Perino, told Gonzales that Republicans were complaining about
prosecutors failing to aggressively pursue voter fraud. Gonzales doesn't
recall the conversation.
I'm sorry, is there somebody he's paying more attention to than the
president of the United States?
At his I'm-accountable-but-I-didn't-know-anything news conference yesterday,
Gonzales said he knew the White House had suggested canning all 93 U.S.
attorneys, rejected that idea and then left things to his chief of staff. "I
was not involved in seeing any memos, was not involved in any discussions
about what was going on," he said. "That's basically what I knew as the
attorney general."
How reassuring. But, a reporter asked, how could it be that his chief of
staff, D. Kyle Sampson, was figuring out "which U.S. attorneys to . . . let
go and you not know?"
Answer: "Well, again as -- I accept responsibility for whatever happens here
in this department. But I have 110,000 working in the department. Obviously,
there are going to be decisions made that I'm not aware of all the time."
Translation: "I'm going to tell you I'm responsible, because that's what
they tell me I have to say. But of course I'm not. It's all Kyle Sampson's
fault. I'm hoping that if I say I'm accountable often enough, no one will
actually hold me accountable."
Ousting a group of top federal prosecutors isn't some minor, inconsequential
act. It's the sort of thing that a responsible attorney general would be
deeply immersed in. Gonzales's depiction of his own marginality is the most
damning evidence of his unfitness for the job.
The precise non-mistake mistake that Gonzales copped to yesterday was
sharing "incomplete" -- this is Gonzales-speak for wrong -- information with
Congress. Think about this: Gonzales first testified about the U.S. attorney
firings on Jan. 19. His No. 2, Paul McNulty, testified on Feb. 6. Assistant
Attorney General William Moschella testified March 6.

You're wrong. Bush is evil but not a nitwit.
The Gonzales scandal "Just Happened" to hit while Bush was
on his whirl wind South-of-The-Border tour. He even got a
reporter to ask him about it when he was in Mexico.
Yup, Hispanics rise to high office in America, and the
President of the United States stands behind them even
when they're under fire...
What he doesn't understand is that all the mistakes
are going to drag him down eventually,
You mean something even bigger than Katrina? 9/11? The
WMD thing? Turning history's largest budget surplus into
History's biggest debt?

I don't suppose we could have an impeachment en masse, but nothing would
make me happier than see the lot of them go. With all of the corruption,

30 more days to go for my retiremnent. I will definitely

down. Hillary doesn't surprise me. She was always a very
conservative Democrat. Hell, she was a Republican when
she first met Bill Clinton. But, for Pelosi to remove that
particular provision from the spending bill is unforgiveable.

corruption,
intrigue, and power grabs going on, this is starting to resemble the
last days of Rome.
As long as there are some decent Democrats left to
pick up the pieces.
I'm starting to worry about them. Hillary now wants the US to stay in
Iraq. And now apparently Pelosi has removed a provision from the Iraq
spending bill that would require Bush to seek Congressional approval
before attacking Iran.

What is going on? Why are there no impeachment hearings?
30 more days to go for my retiremnent. I will definitely
become more active with the impeachment groups at
that point. I don't know why the Democrats are backing
down. Hillary doesn't surprise me. She was always a very
conservative Democrat. Hell, she was a Republican when
she first met Bill Clinton. But, for Pelosi to remove that
particular provision from the spending bill is unforgiveable.
I'll bet Kocinick is chewing on firestone right now.
Kucinich? I hope he is. I think that Hillary is trying to be all things
to all people. She needs to remember that especially in politics, when
you try to please everybody, you end up pleasing nobody.
--
Whnereas Kucinich sticks to his guns and keeps losing
in the primaries.
I know. I would love to see him get a shot, but given the current way we
conduct elections, he doesn't have the name recognition or the cash. If
they were all on an equal footing, he'd be doing a lot better. High time
for publicly funded elections.

Tell me about it. When I was working, I didn't mind giving $50 here or
$50 there. I found that when the write or call again, they ask for $100
or $150! I living off Social Security now and what I managed to have
invested over the years. I have an adequate amount to live on, but not a
lot to spend on foolish things. Besides, the election is still more than
a year and a half away, and I haven't even decided which candidate to
support yet. I'll probably give some money to the Democratic Party later
this year but that's about it for now.
