Just a heads-up: Talking about people named ‘Gonzalez’ and applying any pejorative involving a conjugation of the term ‘grease’ is typically a no-go in civil society in the US.

I know this is a rather shallow and most likely useless comment, but for some reason one in which I feel like making anyway (especially down here in epuland)…Google and take a look at pictures of Kyle Sampson Abu’s COS and ~~the latest victim to be thrown under the bus by kkKarl~~ fall guy du jour for the WH. YOu know Kyle is now part of the COS Gone Wild Club brought to us from the adults in charge. Anwyay, Kyle looks like a younger, thinner and hairier version of the pigboy himself. I know this doesn’t really matter, but I wonder if that is what attracted kkKarl to him.
Did I mention how much I dislike these lying sacks running our country these days?

TRex,

Your commentary urged me to find the link to the presser at C-Span (thanks, ET!) and I must say, you nailed it!

I even added the “weeee-weee-weeee!” squeal sound effects as Abu turned his corkscrew-like tail and ran…

TOO FUNNY. This is Popcorn time, folks!

What I cant get out my head is all the dems lining up to see who could give Gonzo the most shining accolades when he was going thru the approval process. How could this creep have made it past the hearings to approve him? Hes the male version of Harriet Miers but made it thru the system.

Miers was up for being a Supreme Court justice, and didn’t even make it to first base. Very different deal from confirming an Attorney General. And it was a Republican-controlled committee and Senate as well. Would have liked to see a harder press on torture memo, of course, but it was a very different time and place.

The “Peter Principle” has been supplanted by the “Bush Principle”: people placed in high level positions with unimaginable levels of incompetence coupled with an insatiable desire to enrich themselves.

I think Arlen came up with what will be a pretty effective Thuglican talking point today in the NYTs, “This issue is too complicated to understand,” and that, “we need time to digest all of this.”

It looks as if he’s started the flip. Just the other day he was hinting that the AG would go, now he’s protecting the administration.

Won’t somebody investigate him. Afterall, it was under his watch that the language was inserted into the Patriot Act. Why should he get a free pass?

Okay, FirePups, here’s a game for you: Guess what the right-wing Wurlitzer say to provide cover to the White House?

george bush comes to the podium, begins to address the issue, then says:

hey, look, space aliens are attacking earth

nothing to see here

Keep in mind that the Republicans could care less about the Constitution and the MSM’s darlings will do whatever it takes to protect their paymasters and their priviledged postions. Only until such time that the MSM is completely discredited and ultimately destroyed will there be any hope for our Constitutional Republic, but then again most Americans could give a rat’s ass. They are far to occupied with American Idol, Survivor, their favorite pro team, nationalism and the myth of American exceptionalism. Relatives in Europe are stunned at the ignorance of the American public.

So…did Gonzo already double-check the document dump for any emails sent to him? Or did he believe hubristically that any Miers-Sampson-et-al emails had already been purged in an “irregular archiving process”?

Sampson was supposed make this plausibly deniable, but I’ll put money on a breach in documentation.

Sort of like 18 minutes of blank tape.

How could this creep have made it past the hearings to approve him? Hes the male version of Harriet Miers but made it thru the system. I hope the dems see what their refusal to stop this incompetent Bush loyalist from getting this position has done. Their bowing down to Bush and the republicans are as much to blame for this slimy fuck doing his Bush dirty work as anything.
