Gonzo's Own Reality Distortion Field

Remember this twerp? He presided over the attempted destruction of the Justice Department while Attorney General of the United States and the use of torture and the attack on habeas corpus, etc. Well now poor Gonzo can't find a job and he's going to be hauled up before a "truth commission." Here is his reaction to that.

“My view has always been to be as cooperative as possible,” said Gonzales, “and that’s what I’ve been with respect to everything. As far as I’m concerned I’ve got nothing to hide and I’ll cooperate. Every time I’ve been asked to cooperate, I’ve cooperated. In terms of what happens in the future, I’m not going to comment on that, but that is what I’ve done in the past.”

This is a guy who invoked the "I do not recall" defense 60 times during his hearing before the Senate. Yeah, Gonzo, you're a stand-up guy. I have a feeling that he's going to sell out the entire Bush administration now that he realizes he was totally used, being the dope that he is.

Meanwhile, as further proof that the Republican party, having failed to destroy the country, is intent on destroying itself, celebrates Gonzo.

Former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales appeared at a forum on Republicans and the Hispanic vote at the Capitol Hill Club this morning, getting a standing ovation from the crowd when he was pointed out by the moderator.

The Repubs are determined to erase themselves from history by celebrating criminality while increasingly appealing to only the most backward enclaves of the rural South.

Good luck to them. With the raging Hillbilly Heroin Homeboy, Rush Limbaugh, and the screeching Sean Hannity at the helm, I'd say they're not only crashing into the iceberg, but setting off dynamite charges in the bilge at the same time.
