The late, great Molly Ivins once said that Gonzales "wasn't even good enough to be a mediocrity." He's a hack, pure and simple, who even makes - and it pains me to say this - John Ashcroft look like an even-handed, competent professional. I live in Texas, and have seen these people operate up close for years; Ms. Ivins didn't call Texas the "national laboratory for bad government" for nothing. Unqualified and out of their league does not even begin to describe how woefully inept and deeply, deeply corrupt these people are. Gonzales not only should be fired, he should be disbarred.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2925765946042638459.post-34925927228308935452007-03-16T09:19:00.000-04:002007-03-16T09:19:00.000-04:00Oh, and before I forget, thanks for the comment on...Oh, and before I forget, thanks for the comment on the name - I intend to do a post about that at some point - not that it is any big deal and it is rather obvious, but someone may ask, and if I were to read this blog as someone not me, I would be curious.DBBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17805375811782552873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2925765946042638459.post-52753988719693337252007-03-16T09:14:00.000-04:002007-03-16T09:14:00.000-04:00I do feel better about it now.

Perhaps it is because I'm a lawyer, and perhaps it is because the visceral feelings I have about Gonazales, but this has re-engergized me. I have hope. Hope that Gonzales will be fired soon. I will pop champagne if that happens.DBBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17805375811782552873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2925765946042638459.post-39531086888833290282007-03-16T01:09:00.000-04:002007-03-16T01:09:00.000-04:00I feel your pain, DBB (great blog/screen name, btw...I feel your pain, DBB (great blog/screen name, btw). The past six soul-draining years of this administration have made clicking on the morning news almost like Russian Roulette; what new assault on the Constitution or recent lawbreaking activities this administration has been getting away with will cause me to do a spittake or finally give me a heart attack from sheer outrage.<BR/><BR/>Here's the best thing to remember: these people will be out of office soon (and, if not impeached, likely tried at some point for war crimes) and that history will—despite the best efforts of its water carriers online, on Fox "news" and in the press—record this administration as the worst in all American history. So don't give up; we may not get the satisfaction of seeing these monsters get what they (legally) deserve for a few years yet, but history will not be kind to this misbegotten lot of robber barons.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
