Their next legacy has to be naming the Thunk Tank/SinkHole.
There isn’t much that can be said good about the departed and unlamented pretender to the title of Attorney General, but I find it notable that he’s getting a further kick from our Dallas media giant. Splashed across its editorial section today, the Dallas Morning News prints a nice selection of unfriendly parting shots kinda epitomized by William McKenzie’s “I thought President Bush had made a good pick … I was wrong”.
From the News’ Washington Bureau chief Carl Leubsdorf comes: “…the inadequate and inept….Mr. Gonzales was a yes-man with little background for his job as counsel.”
From a selection of editorials all over the country, heads up given to mildest knife wielder of all, Paul Mirengoff; “Often the biggest gavor a president can do for a friend is to not appoint him or her to very high office.” (Yes, the split infinitive kind of fits anyone who sympathizes with a supporter of torture and violation of the constitution.)
In all, the News - which has previously editorialized that Gonzales should go - concludes “Top law enforcer should be above politics”.
Looks to me as if Gonzales, whom I usually refer to as ’Abu’ has earned a place in a political hall of infamy that places him very much below any recently set standard, he’s reached the reverse pinacle, wouldn’t that be the stalagmite, of rejection.
The cretin in chief has his place in history for the worst appointment ever made, and the resulting worst executive branch ever created. It will look pretty horrible on their resumes. I estimate that the only solution to reward time at the pigs’ trough that this cabal made of the public ’service’ will be creation of lots of Pepperdine’s (sounds like pay per dine) - a whole bunch of thumper thing tanks.
May I suggest some appropriate names (other than Nuremberg): Trough One Founderation? C’Rim En Al College? Crupshun U?

ruth, i want to suggest that a lot of what you're seeing
is a willingness to speak out, “finally” about corruption in the assministration because this time, the target is a burrito nigger. i find republicans are most shrill when one of their little darkie pets makes a mess on the carpet, and the the Decent White Folk of the republican party are shocked, just shocked i tell you, that such a little cur could’ve once seemed so cute.
“wingnut welfare” has always worked for me, because it throws one of their own favored memes right back in their faces. there is no substantive work being accomplished at these places. i know, i went to a bunch. lush cocktail parties and dinner spreads, thin pamphlets for sale at outrageous prices, networking on the closet case perv Scene, but not much else.
Sadly, the crime was his.
When some one takes the protection of execution and torture as his personal commitment, can’t say that his race is the problem. As an hispanic, I am sick that this was accepted as success by Abu, but it’s not a condemnation of the public, not of anyone else. That’s not the doing of anyone but a criminal who used every little handhold he could find to work his way up in a criminal network.
