Waiting for the Other Shoe To Drop

[Demeter]

You can't help but feel sorry for Gonzales--at least I can't.

The poor schmuck has lost his chief of staff and his #3 to the enemy; they were the ones who ran the department while Alberto was doing his Bush consiglieri gig. So now he has to find out what went on in his absence and whether he can wiggle out of any of it, while concealing what he was doing while setting up the legal fictions for torturing, kidnapping, wiretapping and the rest.

He probably can't find anything, and he certainly can't remember things that he had so thoroughly delegated. But it is the things he actually did that keep him up at night.

Like subverting and suborning justice.
Turning the department into an instrument of Injustice.

Doing whatever that bitch Rove demanded.


Yeah, I feel sorry for Gonzales. A total failure and a total patsy.

1. Can't feel sorry for the little worm.

There is nothing about him that's worth feeling sorry for - I can only do that for someone who shows a glimpse of decency. Gonzalez? Nope.

2. I don't feel the lest but sorry for Gonzo! He knew, or should have know,

(as the lawyers always say), but he wanted to the the Nations TOP COP! He thought he finally got there, and the only way he could STAY THERE was to continue to kiss the right a**es! Deep down inside heknew he wasn't qualified to do that job, but a lot of those around he were idiots too, and they were doing fine.

Well, one by one, they're all getting caught, and I don't feel one bit of sorrow for any one of the lot! They all knew what game tey were playing, and now they're getting dealt the losing hand.

3. They ARE The Losing Hand

That's a lot worse than being dealt a losing hand. It is being the essence of a miserable failure.

5. You feel sorry for Gonzo--architect of Bush's* torture policies?

:wtf:

4. It doesn't help that the university that 140 of the DOJ lawyers

graduated from had a 60% failure rate taking the bar for the 1st time....just sayin...

Not Harvard Grads...grads from a hack religious college

6. That's Exactly It!

The whole idea that a piece of paper from a diploma mill is just as good as a Harvard degree, that going through the motions without understanding the purpose behind it will be acceptable, that when all else fails, God will save you because you are so inadequate and otherwise directionless, it is the mark of truly bovine thinking, or lack of thinking.

And that is sad. It is so profoundly sad. These people are more than out of their depth. They are only fit for institutions--they will never survive in anything other than what's called "sheltered workshops", reserved for the developmentally disabled.

These people have not developed. They are stunted: mentally, morally, ethically; and yet they think they are God's gift to humanity! And they did it to themselves, with the help of their equally stunted parents.
