Justice Comes to Alberto Gonzales

Not enough justice, mind you. Still, in tomorrow's New York Times Magazine, Deborah Solomon has a satisfying interview with Bush's former attorney general, who resigned in disgrace over the attorneys generals firing scandal. Upshot: Gonzales has had no law firm job offers, has no book publisher, hasn't talked to Bush, who isn't helping out with legal bills, and a considerable portion of Texas Tech's faculty signed a letter protesting his appointment. Read the whole thing. It'll make you feel somewhat better. (H/T @GregMitchell)

Oh boy, Alberto!

I think the reason that he's not so popular is that whole business where he kept saying, "I can't recall", over, and over, and over, and....yeah.

Justice Comes to Alberto Gonzales

Thanks for remembering this Clara.

The first commenter recalled that Gonzales could not recall or remember much of anything useful.

Lack of memory is one sign of dementia, and as a nation we must remember or suffer national dementia you know.

Another....

Another patriot slandered and villified by the far left anti -American crowd. And you wonder why people refuse to work for the government ( except for left-wingers, of course).

Excellent point. Remember

Excellent point. Remember when patriots like Gonzales refused to work for the government from 1980-1992, 2000-2008? If only we'd had more patriots like Gonzales for 20 of the last 30 years, we wouldn't be stuck where we are now with some dark-skinned gentleman making uneducated, myopic, racist, hypocritical light-skinned gentlemen look so pathetic.

Patriota

patriot - a person who loves, supports, and defends his or her country and its interests with devotion.

Since the above definition does not include "within the boundries of its laws" I guess that would make anyone appointed by the President, who works to put that President's policies in place, a patriot. Since the President is the country and the President's interests are without question the country's interests.
