Alberto Opens His Mouth And Removes All Doubt Posted 10 Dec 2009 under Dismantling Bushworld, General Gonzo, Media, Podium Spin
(1) Ever since Alberto “Buttercheeks” Gonzales started to disgrace the office of the Attorney General of the United States — preening himself every time someone called him General Gonzales — there has been active speculation exactly how stupid the man really is. Buttercheeks, it seems, finally tired of the debate, and decided to settle the [...]

Cheney’s FBI Interview in Plame Case Posted 30 Oct 2009 under Cheney, Plamegate, War on Terror
The notes from Dick Cheney’s FBI interview in the Valerie Plame leak investigation have just been released. Turns out that Cheney lied through his teeth, essentially channeling Alberto “Buttercheeks” Gonzales: Today, after successfully winning a lawsuit against the Department of Justice, under court order, CREW received documents related to former Vice President Dick Cheney’s [...]

Buttercheeks’ Lapse Of Memory Failure Posted 26 Aug 2009 under Dismantling Bushworld, General Gonzo, Podium Spin, War on Terror
Alberto “Buttercheeks” Gonzales has had a sudden lapse of memory failure. That is to say, he now recalls things again. He was clearly better off, I think, being unable to recall anything and everything of any significance. Because what he remembers now does not uniquely comport with what actually happened. Or [...]

GOP Attack On CIA Posted 20 Aug 2009 under General Gonzo, War on Terror
Nine top Senate Republicans are calling the CIA a thoroughly unprofessional and dysfunctional organization, which cannot be trusted to protect the country against future terrorist attacks. Specifically, they think the CIA is likely to deliberately pass up “opportunities to prevent attacks” and “policies to protect the nation”. The Republicans with this dim view of the [...]

Well-Qualified Enough Posted 27 May 2009 under Bush Man Date, General Gonzo, Supreme Court
Alberto “Buttercheeks” Gonzales, who was once bruited about as a deserving candidate for the Supreme Court — based entirely on what we can delicately describe as his felicity with kneepads in the service of George Bush — has had the colossally poor judgment to offer this left-handed compliment to Sonia Sotomayor: I have no questions in [...]

But Will The Fat Boy Sing? Posted 05 Mar 2009 under Bush Man Date, Corruption
The House Judiciary Committee announced yesterday evening that Karl Rove and Harriet Miers are going to testify before the Committee after all: In an agreement reached today between the former Bush administration and Congressman John Conyers, Jr. (D-Mich.), chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, Karl Rove and former White House Counsel Harriet Miers will testify before [...]

Buttercheeks Invokes Climate Change Posted 19 Feb 2009 under Corruption, General Gonzo
Alberto “Buttercheeks” Gonzales, in a startling departure from Bushworld orthodoxy, conceded today that climate change is real. Here he is, speaking to David Weigel of The Washington Independent: I asked him whether he would participate in a “truth commission,” as proposed by Sen. Pat Leahy (D-Vt.), to look into alleged law-breaking by the Bush administration. “My [...]

Casualtor, Chief, Not Casualty Posted 31 Dec 2008 under Bush Man Date, General Gonzo, Podium Spin, War on Terror
Alberto “Buttercheeks” Gonzales, unburdening himself to the WSJ: I consider myself a casualty, one of the many casualties of the war on terror. I would dearly love to have Buttercheeks recite a list of who some of the other casualties are. Gonzales also asked, straight from the heart: What is it that I did that is so fundamentally wrong, [...]

The Law Is Indeed An Ass Posted 13 Aug 2008 under Bush Man Date, Corruption, General Gonzo, Podium Spin
My personal judgement is that Michael Mukasey heard the phrase “The law is an ass” at a very impressionable age, and took it deeply to heart. So when he became Attorney General, he felt obliged to uphold that dictum in everything that he did (or didn’t do). Yesterday, he delivered an appropriately asinine speech to [...]

(1) So we had another development in the ongoing Subpoena Shadowboxing Soap Opera starring the Bush administration and every meaningful oversight committee in Congress.

Mukasey for the report of an FBI interview of Vice President Dick Cheney and other documents relating to the [...]
