Bush: After months of unfair treatment that has created a harmful distraction at the Justice Dept. It's sad. (pause) That we live in a time when a talented and honorable person like Alberto Gonzales is impeding from doing important because his good name was dragged through the mud for political reasons.

There's a book called State of Denial. That is BushCo. in a nutshell. Let's talk to Rove about mud slinging. Kerry, Cleland, Murtha, Pelosi and Harold Ford (to name a few) were all swift-boated for political reasons, but that doesn't count, right Mr. President? Michelle Obama is next up on Drudge's list. Anonymous Liberal makes the "Case Against Gonzales"

I've reviewed the entire transcript of Gonzales' February 6, 2006 testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee, and a strong prima facie case can be made that Gonzales perjured himself lied to Congress [commenter JaO reminds me that Gonzales wasn't under oath; good call, Senator Specter]. Gonzales then repeated this lie under oath this week...read on

You are the political reason, George.

Yeah Bush, you hitched to the back of your wagon and dragged him through the mud yourself.

Some other quotes:

"Quotes from bush's speech:

"Al Gonzales is a man of integrity, decency and principle."

"Under his leadership the justice department has... made enforcement of civil rights laws a top priority..."

"Aggressively and successfully pursued public corruption"

Stewart and Colbert are going to have a field day with this.

yes, bush actually said "quotes from bush's speech" :P

Every time Bush celebrates Opposite Day, it becomes Opposite Decade.

Happy trails to you, 'till we meet again....NOT!!!!!

As far as AG's good name being "dragged thru the mud", he's very lucky his good name is the ONLY thing being dragged right now after what he's done to our country and the rule of law.

KRIMENY! Has ANYONE on this blog been able to actually ILSTEN to the entire BLATHER spewing from this mutton-head? I will stand for the record, I made it just a skoch beyond midway until I PUKED ON MY SHOES.....

LOLOLOLOL!! No...no...make him stop! LOLOLOL!....his "GOOD NAME"...LOLOLOLOL...oh George....you such a keeeeder!!....wait wait....c'mon...say it...."we gotta fight them there!! LOLOL...no no...I always liked..."they're gonna follow us home" better!! LOLOL!...wait...wait..."they hate our freedoms!!"..LOLOLOL...hoooo baby...the hits just keep coming...."we can't reveal what we know..."...or else he'll have to kill us!! LOLOLOLOL!!! Nooo no....I can't take anymore...hey Laura...is he this funny in bed?!?! LOLOL!...I can hear him now..."let's play hide the WMD!"....

Actually Gonzo was "dragged through the mud" to protect boosh.

Is boosh going to own up to it?

ROTFLMAO!!

I must admit, I have NEVER in my life seen such a LONELY man... bush is a dead man walking (in my opinion)... he speaks to an imaginary nation that actually listens to him... my bet is that (in the end) he takes himself out like Hitler did.

I may have something to say when I stop laughing.

Was that another one of those famous press conferences where he doesn’t take any questions?

Good name dragged through the mud for political reasons. Ha!

Hey, bush, you nitwit, have you ever heard of Valerie Plame? Yes, you have. Think hard and maybe you'll remember that her very good name was not only dragged through the mud, it continues to be slimed by the right, for political reasons.

And may the door hit Gonzo on his lying ass when leaves his office on his final day of "work"(GASP!). He will escape prosecution via a Dumbya pardon.

Only if the next door to hit this treasonous, lying goon in the ass would be the one of a cell door it would be a day to rejoice.

Bush is right on this one: Gonzo was dragged through the mud because he tried to politicize the DoJ to get republicans elected. Also, b/c loyalty to his party outweighs loyalty to his constitution, country, and human decency, he decided almost single handedly to claim "Torture is okay with us!" Everything that happened was for partisian political reasons.

This congress, while it's had some MAJOR slip-ups (signing the FISA law, backing down on Iraq), has done more work and held more people accountable in the few short months its been in office than all the years of Republican domination put together. Yet, minority leader Mitch McConnell had a different take on the Gonzalez resignation:

“It is my hope that whomever President Bush selects as the next attorney general, he or she is not subjected to the same poisonous partisanship that we’ve sadly grown accustomed to over the past eight months,” McConnell, R-Ky., said in a statement.

See that? REMEMBER that. McConnell called hard work and accountability "poisonous".

Accurate enough, I guess. Most Republican politicians do find that to be a bitter, poisonous stew...

I wish I could laugh but instead I am really disturbed by Bush's speech. Does he believe what he's saying? Does he think we believe him? What freaking planet does he live on? Even my republican acquaintances are glad to see Gonzo go.

Next, Chertoff. Out of the frying pan and into - well, you know.

Insane pathological liars, criminals and politcal sociopaths
engage in coverup until they are jailed and/or prosecuted.

Today marks the day where all the good people of America, regardless of political party
--> are now even more United.

UNITED WE STAND: Against George W. Bush, Richard B. Cheney and other civil officers who have committed Treason, Bribery, and other High Crimes and Misdemeanors against the United States of America, our institutions and our people.

Just another example of a rat fleeing a sinking ship. How long will it be before everyone in this administration "resigns", and only Bush and Cheney are left with nobody to take the fall for them. This is only the beginning, and hopefully the end has these two in prison for the crimes they have committed. Here's to hoping that our next President is not like Gerald Ford, and does not give these two a pardon on their way out.

This baboon has a future in comedy when he is done dragging our nation through the shit hole. What a dillusional idiot!

If by mud President Alden Pyle is referring to the gooey mixture of horse shit, bullshit, and Abu G flop sweat that Abu himself concocted. Then yes, he was in some deep mud. However, I'd say he was more back stroking than being dragged.

And Valerie Plame? Joe Wilson?

W is the biggest hypocrite EVER.

Political reasons? Warrentless wiretapping, Gitmo, Valerie Plame Wilson, unanswered subpoenas, Ashcroft's hospital bed, firing federal attorneys to appoint cronies...just a short list. I am sure there would be more, but "I don't recall" all of the offenses-political or otherwise!

Sorry, that should read Abu G perjury-induced flop sweat.

Reich-wingers, the party of misunderstood victims.

I am going to say it again...in 1980's an EPA administrator lied to congress, about an Investigation, during hearings...she WENT TO PRISON FOR LYING TO CONGRESS...her name was Rita LaValley...and she did time for lying to congress during an Investigation...and about Bush speaking so brokenhearted about HIS Fredo...I am surprised that he didn't say he did a HECKUVA JOB...

I do feel a bit sorry for Alberto, that a man whose ancestors recently came from Mexico has disgraced himself. But how in god's name could he have learned so little of this nation's history, traditions and what our ancestors have tried to build. We stray and correct and try, generally to be true to the promise of the Founding Fathers. Could he not have seen how enabling GWB from frat boy to president was so at odds with the principles that gave him the chances he has had? Sympathy yes, but forgiveness, no.

I wish boosh was in denial, he'd introduce his shoulder to an asp.

'Gonzales,'integrity', 'decency','principle' all in the same sentence.
hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!

For the chimp to stand there and talk about things being done for political reasons when he as used politics to further a war and kill our youth, is beyond hypocrisy. He should choke on his own words. This guy and his minions work for Satan and is beneath contempt. Why no one in the media has the guts to shove his own words back down his lying throat is beyond me. As for Cornyn, he is nothing more than an ass licker and we know where his tongue has been. Rethuglican first, Texas cretin second, and lastly and leastly American, that's Cornyn.

Oh, poor Al. Now he'll have to go to work in the private sector earning hundreds of millions of dollars shilling for the reich wing.

Too bad Gonzo was only dragged through the mud, I would've prefered a rail.

Not so! I am an artist and I produce work that has political content to help fight disinformation and spread progressive messages. This is an important part of movement building and should be respected.

Historically, artists have been at the forefront of social activism and they have been the most effective voices for change. I think it is tragic that this is not the case today. Would you delete Robbie Conal or Sheppard Fairey or maybe Picasso's Guernica (not that I'm comparing myself to Picasso)? See John Heartfield's work in 1930's Germany for more examples.

In the event that I have (hopefully) persuaded you that this is legitimate activism, I'm going to repost the link. If you still think it's blogwhoring, delete it and I will (reluctantly) respect your decision. But I will always believe that it is easier to move people with visual and other creative expressions than it is with endless text and speeches.

The Gonzales Factor

Thanks for your reconsideration.

today, michael vick aquitted himself better than either the ag or the chimp in charge

he did not blame anyone else, accepted the fact that he is a miscreant, and apologized to the children of the world

i hope bill clinton is paying close attention to what is happening here

hey bill, your problem was...your administration wasnt corrupt enuf

the more corrupt, the less likely to impeach

btw, the chimps statements today were a shot across the bow....if the dems have any backbone, they do not accept any of his noms for ag replacement...not one

Chimpy needs to remove his head from his ass and realize that it was the GOP that wanted Gonzo gone...not the Dems. The GOP was tired of dealing with the Gonzo mess, while the Dems were only too happy to watch it play out.

Alberto Gonzales may be gone, but his crimes are not forgotten. From illegal NSA domestic surveillance, condoning torture and the unprecedented expansion of presidential powers to undermining minority voting rights, the political purge of U.S. prosecutors and lying under oath to Congress, Gonzales' deception, misdeeds and blatant criminality extend well beyond Bush's beloved Fredo.

For the Top 10 Reasons Gonzales Had to Go, see:
"Gonzo But Not Forgotten: The Crimes of Alberto Gonzales."

If alberto didn't do anything wrong at all, then he's chickenshit for giving up and resigning. Bush was very pissed today. You hear it and see it. That alone could make my day.

Sorry. Links suck.

and no protesting in bellevue WA today. El Jefe is coming, and they don't want him to know that people think this war shit sucks.

Does anyone really wonder why this POS is out of touch?

A guy on an earlier post said it first. Wait for the Recess Appointment. Ever since he said that I have been waiting for the bombshell.

The Damage has been done. AG is gone now, but there are so many other players. Even if bush and cheney were impeached, all it would do is to begin the long process of recovery by sending a message to the real culprits who supported them (and STILL support them). For the HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of Iraqi civilians who have needlessly lost their lives in this Iraq invasion, fwho have held their dead loved ones in their arms, for the soldiers we have lost and their families and kids... the damage can NEVER be rectified. I pray every day that sanity will come to this nation, but whenever I see the likes of the Fox noise sect it just paints a very bleak outlook for this nation. Sure, AG resigning is a small victory, but the real culprit are the tens of thousands who ARE STILL out there who can watch the PURE DRIVEL that squirts from the wooden head of this president, and then say to themselves how right he is... do NOT kid yourself... they are out there in droves. This nation faces an uphill battle against an arcane mindset that still believes that war and bullying is a solution.

I understand that Bush was very upset that Mud’s name had been dragged through Alberto Gonzoles…

I remember one of those hearings when someone suggested that gonzo be put under oath. Specter threw a hissy fit about how we could trust the AG. No oath was given.

it's nice that gonzo has resigned but in actuality, he's just a small cog in this larger paradigm, i think we all know that. i just received an email from the democratic party asking for a donation after telling me what a great job we and they did in ousting gonzo. since i did not see a place to reply or post, it will be here and hopefully someone will see it and take notice. Loudly, clearly, not another dime to their organization until they push for impeachment and then incarceration. i don't want to hear anymore impeachment is not even on the table. or joe lieberman is my friend (Reid) bullshit. these people meant to do our country great harm and perhaps they have succeeded. yet the dems stand idly by with the thought, we just don't have enough votes to impeach and anything less will embolden the other side. sounds like the same tripe the right has been putting out for the last six years. the time to strike is now. or are they going to wait until the ice is perfectly safe to cross the pond. pussies.

It's a mistatement to say everyone is innocent until proven guilty.

The correct statement is "The law presumes that a defendant is innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt."

It's like Ollie North proclaiming he was innocent because his conviction was overturned on a technicality, or saying OJ Simpson is innocent because he was acquitted. Like Gonzales, they aren't innocent, the law just presumes that they are.

If Gonzales' "good name" :lol: was dragged through the mud, he did it himself to protect Chimpy.

How many times did he claim he couldn't recall or wasn't aware of activities in his department? Either Gonzales is a liar or an incompetent.

Either way, he should have never been appointed and should have been fired or impeached long ago.

Yeah, just like Brownie did a heck of a job. Stay in Texas, moron.

Ok, english is not my first language but shouldn't it be impeded rather than impending.

Gonzo's resignation date is not until the 17th of next month. Bush has already named Clement as temp AG, so by the 17th of next month, congress will be in session again.

...he was drug through the...........mud.

What the hell were you pausing for, George? Did you want to say "shit" instead or are you just so damned slow witted that you couldn't imagine that the word "mud" would logically follow "he was drug through the"?

The only thing muddier than Gonzo's reputation is boosh's drawers.

"His good name was dragged through the mud for political reasons.”
yes mr bush that is true and i think you owe your good friend and the country an apology for your political actions.

Bush is right. Gonzo's name WAS dragged through the mud for political reasons, those reasons entirely of Bush's own doing! Firing US attorneys since they weren't following a political agenda and having Gonzo cover it up to protect Bush are both fairly strong "political reasons" for the Congress and any thinking citizens to drag Gonzo's name through the mud. It was deserved.

See it's ok for THEM name call and say all kinds of horrible things for politcal reasons but nobody else can. They disgust me

Just a few of Alberto's Good Deeds
* He disparaged the Geneva Conventions as “quaint” and “obsolete” and developed legal arguments that permitted aggressive interrogation tactics in the months after 9/11, which deny detainees in the war on terror basic legal protections.
* His staff created the system by which the president could move American citizens from the criminal justice system into detention as enemy combatants, eliminating due process protections.
* He championed the military tribunal system for detainees in the war on terror that omits due process protections granted by the Uniform Code of Military Justice.
* He drafted the infamous Texas clemency memos for then-Governor Bush, which failed to mention key factors in each case, including evidence of innocence that supported clemency for death row inmates.

Gonzales Resignation Does Not Pardon President’s Abuse of Power, ACLU Says (8/27/2007)

Not to mention this Gem...

He failed to demonstrate necessary independence from the White House and President Bush, as evidenced in the recent scandal involving the dismissal of U.S. Attorneys. Under Gonzales’ tenure, experienced attorneys in the Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department were forced out or replaced by less experienced, politically loyal staff.

Too bad dumbya was on vacation today... if he was at the White House he could have made his little speech in the Petulant Tantrum Room.

Heck, Gonzo committed his crimes for political reasons!

Why is this seen like a victory? The slimeball Gonzalez is not in jail nor charged with anything and his boss is still there lying his ass off and fucking up the whole country. Gonzalez probably has a cushy job waiting for him at Halliburton or similar as reward for his service.

anyone catch where he said "judge gonzales"? his last few appearances,, his face has been very red, slurred speach, and something seems off............... am I wrong?

Chimpy shows 'em how to walk up to those big, foamy microphones and lie your ass off. If it helped protect him and his inner circle, Bush would call Al Capone an honest, upstanding citizen. Truly a disgusting little Texas pimp.

After listing Gonzales' many accomplishments and once again studiously ignoring even a whiff of the on going controversy attached to the AG's tenure-except to pretend that he'd been "dragged through the mud"-the president then graciously allowed the assembled press to ask absolutely no questions.He then arrogantly minced away.

bush, please learn to speak english, you asshole.

#84 -- I agree. The Dems were stalling and hoping for this to happen so they wouldn't have to do anything.

..."Al Gonzalez is a man of integrity, decency and principle" explains everything. Since Bush has none of these qualities, he cannot spot their lack in others as well. Heckuva job bushie

Hey, Georgie: I believe you are the LAST person to talk about dragging people's names through the mud for political reasons. Maybe Gonzo showed that one speck of non-partisanship to resign for the better of the Justice Dept., or for America in general. Perhaps if he did, you can steal a page outta that playbook.

Almost: he did say "impeding", but said "work" after "important".

Has Bush ever told the truth about ANYTHING? He's a worse liar than Nixon or Reagan.

Fredo, in his ONE MINUTE adios address, claimed that he informed Busholini yesterday of his plans to resign.

That's funny, according to all reports, Busholini was told on Friday. Perhaps Fredo's trying to hide their attempt to cover up this news?

Did Boosch really say that? I'm not able to view the video (not that I really want to hear that grating ass speak). What mangled English!

Almost: he did say "impeding", but said "work" after "important".

Man, that's just embarrassing. We have an illiterate representing us to the world. But hey, he's just a regular guy we can join for a line of cocaine beer.

Actually I think our Commander Guy misspoke. Dragging through the mud is one of those non-torture, interrogation methods, which Gonzales approved. An alternative is dragging through manure, placenta, or menstrual blood. Dragging through broken glass is a no-no.

What a hypocrite. What about the harm done to our justice system by Gonzo?

Dear "Rally Team" Member,

I know you read 'Crooks and Liars' because I read the comments. I have a few things I'd like to say to your boss. pass them along for me, won't you? there's a good fellow.

Alberto Gonzales' name was "dragged through the mud"? well, he knew the job was dangerous when he took it. I mean, he's heard of Janet Reno? getting clobbered by people who don't like you seems to be part of that job. you know who's name has been dragged through the mud? mine. let me explain.

when AG's name was put out for AG, I was opposed to this. his record on 'Energy Task Force' and 'War on Terror' issues were a great concern to me. it seemed to me that AG was being nominated for his long and loyal service to President and Governor Bush. nowadays, this seems a pretty common perception, dont you think?

well, I had to endure being called RACIST by a gentleman named Rush Limbaugh. you know Rush? he's the guy who gets his very own VIP trips to the white house. the other right wing hate-jockeys all go together. not Rush, he's special. he calls me a racist for opposing this LACKEY with a record that I found dreadful. he gets invited to the white house.

so, here's my message for your boss. all this "playing politics" and "partisan" stuff he likes to do? it's time to KNOCK THAT SHIT OFF. no backsies.

this is the most openly partisan administration of my lifetime. not a month goes by when there isn't some new info that boggles the mind at just HOW partisan it's been. if anybody is "playing politics" and "dragging names through the mud" I think we know who those people are. stop it. you don't get to do that crap anymore. capish?

thank you for your time and have fun filling all the message boards with your weak arguments. I hope it pays good.

Time for the medal of freedom award. Keep talking Bush, you not very smart are you? Of course that goes without saying.

first Rover...now Gonzo....Yeah, we'll all miss ya. And to leave while Congress is away..typical ball-less, gut-less pricks. CANT WAIT FOR TDS TONITE!!!!!!!!!! and KO

Well, I guess they won't have Al Gonzales to kick around anymore. Sound familiar? I couldn't help but put in my little Nixon dig. Gonzo is such a joke. What's worse he made a laughing stock out of the Department of Justice.

bush said: "...is impeding from doing important because.." WTF does that even mean? English as a second language anyone?

I wouldn't be surprised if bush showed his teeth, yelped and then began to fling poop at the assembled press corps.

He truly is... a chimperor.

Hey, bush is an asshole, whaddya gonna do? Oh yeah, IMPEACH!!!

“His good name was dragged through the mud for political reasons.”

For the first time ever I agree with Bush 100%!..........wait, oh he's not referring
to what the GOP did to Bill Clinton. Nevermind.

Funny, I don't ever remember Bush ever in 6 1/2 years coming out denouncing that any Democrat's name had been drug the mud. Probably because it was Heckuva job Rove doing the dragging.

KO will have a field day!

Hell, Bush would try to give him the purple heart saying he was injured in battle by all the Democrat mud being unjustly slung at him. Nothing would be beyond belief for Chimperor.

I just watched again.
His speech is disturbingly slurred

Bush wouldnt know the truth if it snuck up and bit him on his slimey ass. The spin is hilarious and worth a good chuckle though.

Interesting thing about the timing of this announcement.

It's coming out that the US development money is financing the insurrgents killing our troops.

Now the Schlitz is gonna hit the fun.

And busch has a funnel in his mouth.

Are those blades spinning? Damn!!

Gort @ 130:

Are you suggesting a Vic Morrow?

The list continues.... they WILL be brought to justice.
History is still being written....

--> It is the people that make this Country a great nation.
Not the pathological liars, criminals and politcal sociopaths that occupy the highest offices of the land..

The National Guard, the Soldiers, the Veterans, the whistleblowers, the Families and the People know the truth.
The criminal elements that occupy the White House will not stand.

I know I haven't got all of them. Reads kinda like the list of Adrian Messenger, doesn't it?

Not ME!, I like kids... but if the Chimp is alone...

When asked about his resignation, Gonzo replied he didn't recall.

Bush sure does have a twisted sense of reality. We need an AG who is bipartisan, who is indepenant from the Bush administration, and will uphold the constitution of the United States. Gonzalez was none of those.

What good name? No one associated with the repugs and especially the WH has a good name.

Was he doing the head-bob while he complained? I'll see the film later.

Bush in another place and time:

"Hitler is a good man who fights for freedom and who loves the Jewish people. His name is being dragged through the mud for political reasons"

Maybe the above post was too mean, but would an absentminded wave to the crowd be so bad?

I dont recall remembering any mud.

Meanwhile, who wants to bet that Cheney has a fatal heart attack in the next few weeks? With Gonzo gone, the heat is getting too high for our VP.

Unfortunately, his head will be transported (in formaldehyde) to the new Halliburtan headquarters in Dubai to be hooked to electrodes and to run the world for the balance of the century...

I don't recall that the attacks were politically motivated. If I knew that, I would certainly have been concerned.

Pursuing treason and malefeasance in office is now partisan?

Ha! Ship his head in one of those FEMA trailers, it will stay fresher longer than a Twinkie.

Could you imagine chainey with a heart transplant from a hummingbird?

"Like Aberto Gonzales, he was impeded from doing important work, because his name was being drag thru the....(he looks down to try to sound out the word)M...U....D...(like a moment of clarity) mud!

*I know that he has a little trouble with a three syllable word, but he was really stump and pause for a 3 letter word.

I don't know if "drag from the mud" was what he initially intended to say, or maybe he thought that in truth, Gonzo was a guy that you had to drag from the mud, like a happy pig basking in the mud along with his other friends in the White House.

I will admit that it was unfair treatment of asking Gonzo 71 question that may expose Bush's criminal secrets. It's inhumane to ask any man to uphold this president actions.

Dragged through the mud? Ha.

This administration has dragged the entire country through the mud.

Well, at least the dictatorship is finally starting to crumble. Put the popcorn on. Score one for Karma :)

He list Alberto enlist in the Air Force? Is it confirm that Aberto served in the Force? Is his record missing as well as Bush?

George, had you not turned every single issue into a partisan political football over the past 6 years, tearing our country apart at the seams in the process, I might have cared whether or not there was politicking going on in the treatment of Gonzo. But you did, so I don't. You're a fucking scumbag. Good riddance to you and all of yours. The world is far worse for having suffered your reign.

Bush drag the Katrina's victim in the mud for sure!
