This is what we know about Alberto Gonzales, who is still, amazingly, attorney general of the United States:

# He thinks it is moral and legal for the United States to lock people up for years at a time, without access to such legal niceties as a lawyer or even knowledge of the charges against them, much less a public trial.
# He thinks it's OK for American interrogators to torture prisoners so long as it is part of the fight against terrorism, the Geneva Convention be damned.
# He thinks federal prosecutors who do not adhere to the political philosophy of the person in the White House should be fired, investigative independence be damned.
# He thinks the federal government should be able to spy on Americans' international phone calls and e-mails without a court warrant.
# He is, from all available evidence, constitutionally incapable of giving a clear, concise, honest answer to questions put to him by members of Congress (more on this later).
# President Bush loves him.

And why not?

No one in the Bush administration has done a better job of distracting Americans' attention from the truly disastrous news in Iraq than the attorney general, .....

1. Gonzales has never stopped being Bush's personal lawyer

He covered up for Bush in Texas, and is covering up for Bush now. Doesn't matter what office he holds-his loyalty is to Bush and Bush alone.

2. What would be on the republican media right now

if this was a democratic president and his administration doing the things bush is doing. A constant drum beat by the media to throw them all out. Every single thing they would be doing to walking across the street to brushing their teeth would be an hourly update.

3. Funny, but I thought they would never find someone who would make Ashcroft look good.

5. Scary isn't it?

At the time I thought there was nobody worse than Ashy. Bushco's pool of lying, criminal sycophants is immeasurable it seems.
