"His Good Name"

After Alberto Gonzales announced his resignation, President Bush told some reporters that, “His good name was dragged through the mud for political reasons".

Alright, let's clear up a few things before that cocaine snorting President of ours tries to muddy up the water and the 24-hour news networks unload their stupid on this story. Alberto Gonzales didn't have a good name. He wasn't a good guy. He wasn't a martyr suffering for his holy crusade of nobility. He was a shitstain on the history of the United States and the sooner he gets the fuck out of Washington the better.

January 25, 2002: Gonzales advised President Bush that, "the war on terrorism is a new kind of war, a new paradigm [that] renders obsolete Geneva's strict limitation on questioning of enemy prisoners and renders some of its provisions quaint."

That's a lawyer talking. A lawyer saying that the Geneva conventions, the means by which it is assured that enemy combatants are treated humanely, no longer apply to the United States because the war on terrorism is a "new kind of war". Do you see the problem there? Here's the biggest problem:

LAWS DON'T FUCKING WORK THAT WAY!!!

It's not the case that one can simply dismiss a law or a treaty because they feel it no longer applies to them. But that's the precident he set. "I don't think this applies to the United States anymore, therefore etc." And from that point on we saw this man's respect for the Rule of Law, the Constitution, and the established governmental structure of the United States. He didn't fucking care about them or respect them. He was an asshole; an asshole who fundamentally misunderstood his job and the nature of the United States of America. An asshole who thought he could do whatever he wanted and get away with it. An asshole who worked with Karl Rove to give President Bush and Vice President Cheney as much clearance as possible as they skipped through our government in an effort to fight their stupid fucking war of lies, deceit, and ignorance.

So don't even try to play the "it's politics" card again you delusional, ignorant, dolt of a president. Alberto Gonzales was not a "good man". Alberto Gonzales was a liar and a crook. And if the United States can unmake the wrongs he set forth, fix the government he and yourself wrecked, and right the wrongs of your idiotic amalgamation of C-grade students who know neither history nor geography then so much the better for the rest of us and, hopefully, so much the worse for you.
