Vick finds religion and apologizes; Gonzales slinks away

Get a clue.

In this upside-down world, Michael Vick, the dog-fighting multi-million dollar NFL quarterback, actually looks better than slime-bag Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. Both are a disgrace to us all - Gonzo for the Torture Memo; Vick for supporting the brutal sport of dogfighting and killing non-performing dogs - in a country where people treat their dogs like their children.

Here's Vick:
"I was ashamed and totally disappointed in myself, to say the least," Vick said in his first public comments about his role in the dogfighting scandal since federal prosecutors indicted him in July. "I want to apologize to all of the young kids out there for my immature acts. What I did was very immature, which means I need to grow up."

Here's "TORTURE MEMO" Gonzo:

GONZALES: Good morning.

Thirteen years ago I entered public service to make a positive difference in the lives of others. And during this time I have traveled a remarkable journey, from my home state of Texas to Washington, D.C., supported by the unwavering love and encouragement of my wife Rebecca and our sons Jared, Graham and Gabriel.

Yesterday I met with President Bush and informed him of my decision to conclude my government service as attorney general of the United States effective as of September 17th, 2007.

The GOP's Monica

Looks like each administration gets their own 'Monica". We had the famous (for 15 min) Monica Lewinsky during the Clinton Administration; and now Monica Goodling during the Bush Administration.

She's on CSPAN today answering questions about her role in the US Attorney firings.

WASHINGTON - The Justice Department's former White House liaison denied Wednesday that she played a major role in the firings of U.S. attorneys last year and blamed Deputy Attorney General Paul McNulty for misleading Congress about the dismissals.

2nd in Charge McNulty is McGone

Who's sorry now?
Oh jeez. McNulty is getting out of the line of fire of Rove? Sure sounds like it.

Deputy Attorney General Paul McNulty said Monday he will resign, becoming the highest-ranking Bush administration casualty in the furor over the firing of U.S. attorneys...

The aides spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk publicly about McNulty's decision. McNulty also irked Gonzales by testifying in February that at least one of the fired prosecutors was ordered to make way for a protege of Karl Rove, President Bush's chief political adviser. Gonzales, who has resisted lawmakers' calls to resign, maintains the firings were proper, and rooted in the prosecurtors' lackluster performances.

The Attorney General Scandal Gets Interesting

Who's gonna get immunity now?

Goody two shoes Donna Goodling, that's who. Little Miss Alice In Wonderland. Can't wait to hear her spill the beans on Al-ber-to......Remember, she graduated from Pat Robertson's University. (cough, cough)

RS Monica Goodling, the former top Justice Department aide whose attorneys accused House and Senate investigators of subjecting her to "McCarthyism," may receive immunity against prosecution from the House Judiciary Committee.

Alberto Gonzales is a big fat liar

Who's lying and covering it up now?

Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. Dude, cover-up's a bitch. What a dope, to lie about your involvement in the US Attorney filings.....remember what took down Watergate...not the crime, but the cover-up.

WaPo Attorney General Alberto Gonzales approved plans to fire several U.S. attorneys in a November meeting, according to documents released Friday that contradict earlier claims that he was not closely involved in the dismissals....The Nov. 27 meeting, in which the attorney general and at least five top Justice Department officials participated, focused on a five-step plan for carrying out the firings of the prosecutors, Justice Department officials said late Friday.

There, Gonzales signed off on the plan, which was crafted by his chief of staff, Kyle Sampson. Sampson resigned last week amid a political firestorm surrounding the firings.

On March 13, in explaining the firings, Gonzales told reporters he was aware that some of the dismissals were being discussed but was not involved in them.

"I knew my chief of staff was involved in the process of determining who were the weak performers — where were the districts around the country where we could do better for the people in that district, and that's what I knew," Gonzales said last week. "But that is in essence what I knew about the process; was not involved in seeing any memos, was not involved in any discussions about what was going on. That's basically what I knew as the attorney general."

He's Baaaack. Abramoff and the US Attorney scandal

Our favorite wannabe gangsta is back. We knew it was only a matter of time before the Abramoff's (and, oh, probablly the Dusty Foggo/Carol Lam connection as well, come to think of it) name resurfaced. For the record, Post An Apology has maintained that Abramoff had something more to do with the SunCruz Casino murder of Konstantinos "Gus" Boulis. Think it may come out now?

TMP Today, the nonpartisan congressional watchdog Democracy 21 sent a letter to Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and Deputy Attorney General Paul McNulty asking whether there had been political interference in the investigation and prosecution of Republican lobbyist Jack Abramoff.

"Based on issues that have been raised in the firing of the eight U.S Attorneys , we're all in a position to want some assurance that there hasn't been political interference in the case," Fred Wertheimer, Democracy 21's president, told me. "This still remains the worse congressional corruption scandal in 30 years. There are lesser players who have been convicted. But there are still big players here, including sitting and former members of Congress whose cases apparently have not yet been resolved. "

Gonzales is a douche

And a dick. Gonzales needs to resign:


• NEW: Sen. Pryor says Gonzales lied to Senate about replacing prosecutors
• Senate panel votes to authorize subpoenas for Justice Department officials
• Panel also postpones authorizing subpoenas for White House aides
• President says he's "not happy" about mistakes surrounding attorney firings

GOP Senator calls for Gonzales to GO

Get a clue.

What a liar Alberto Gonzales appears to be. He's on GMA this am saying something like, "None of these folks (US attorneys) were let go because of politics." Pshaw... Now Senator John Snunu (R NH) is calling for Gonzales to be replaced.

WASHINGTON - Sen. John Sununu (news, bio, voting record) of New Hampshire on Wednesday became the first Republican in Congress to call for Attorney General Alberto Gonzales' dismissal, hours after President Bush expressed confidence in his embattled Cabinet officer.

"I think the president should replace him," Sununu said in an interview with The Associated Press. Gonzales has been fending off Democratic calls for his firing in the wake of disclosures surrounding the ousters of eight U.S. attorneys.

Attorney General Alberto Gonzales must go

Who doesn't have a CLUE!

That would be Attorney General Alberto Gonzales - a smarmy man if ever there was one. A torture advocate, a dirty tricks guy....an all around dick, apparently.

Even some in the GOP get it...the America we all know and love is being eroded by guys like this.. Y In addition, a key Republican voiced concerns about Gonzales and his embattled Justice Department, but stopped short of calling for his resignation. I think we need a change in the top at the Justice Department," said Sen. Charles Schumer (news, bio, voting record) of New York, a member of the Democratic leadership.

Sen. Joseph Biden (news, bio, voting record), a Delaware Democrat and a 2008 White House contender, said, "I think we'd be better off if he did (resign), but that's a judgment the president is going to have to make." Sen. Arlen Specter (news, bio, voting record) of Pennsylvania, senior Republican on the Judiciary Committee, also said it was matter for George W. Bush to decide, but added, "I do think there have been lots of problems."
