Bush: After months of unfair treatment that has created a harmful distraction at the Justice Dept. It’s sad. (pause) That we live in a time when a talented and honorable person like Alberto Gonzales is impeding from doing important because his good name was dragged through the mud for political reasons.
There’s a book called State of Denial. That is BushCo. in a nutshell. Let’s talk to Rove about mud slinging. Kerry, Cleland, Murtha, Pelosi and Harold Ford (to name a few) were all swift-boated for political reasons, but that doesn’t count, right Mr. President? Michelle Obama is next up on Drudge’s list. Anonymous Liberal makes the “Case Against Gonzales“
I’ve reviewed the entire transcript of Gonzales’ February 6, 2006 testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee, and a strong prima facie case can be made that Gonzales
perjured himselflied to Congress [commenter JaO reminds me that Gonzales wasn’t under oath; good call, Senator Specter]. Gonzales then repeated this lie under oath this week…read on
One Trackback To “Bush on Gonzo’s resignation: “His good name was dragged through the mud for political reasons.”“
What goes around eventually comes around. It couldn’t happen to a nicer person..

You are the political reason, George.
Yeah Bush, you hitched to the back of your wagon and dragged him through the mud yourself.
Some other quotes:
“Quotes from bush’s speech:
“Al Gonzales is a man of integrity, decency and principle.”
“Under his leadership the justice department has… made enforcement of civil rights laws a top priority…”
“Aggressively and successfully pursued public corruption”
Stewart and Colbert are going to have a field day with this.
yes, bush actually said “quotes from bush’s speech” :P
Every time Bush celebrates Opposite Day, it becomes Opposite Decade.
Happy trails to you, ’till we meet again….NOT!!!!!
As far as AG’s good name being “dragged thru the mud”, he’s very lucky his good name is the ONLY thing being dragged right now after what he’s done to our country and the rule of law.
KRIMENY! Has ANYONE on this blog been able to actually ILSTEN to the entire BLATHER spewing from this mutton-head? I will stand for the record, I made it just a skoch beyond midway until I PUKED ON MY SHOES…..
LOLOLOLOL!! No…no…make him stop! LOLOLOL!….his “GOOD NAME”…LOLOLOLOL…oh George….you such a keeeeder!!….wait wait….c’mon…say it….”we gotta fight them there!! LOLOL…no no…I always liked…”they’re gonna follow us home” better!! LOLOL!…wait…wait…”they hate our freedoms!!”..LOLOLOL…hoooo baby…the hits just keep coming….”we can’t reveal what we know…”…or else he’ll have to kill us!! LOLOLOLOL!!! Nooo no….I can’t take anymore…hey Laura…is he this funny in bed?!?! LOLOL!…I can hear him now…”let’s play hide the WMD!”….
Actually Gonzo was “dragged through the mud” to protect boosh.
Is boosh going to own up to it?
ROTFLMAO!!

I must admit, I have NEVER in my life seen such a LONELY man… bush is a dead man walking (in my opinion)… he speaks to an imaginary nation that actually listens to him… my bet is that (in the end) he takes himself out like Hitler did.
I may have something to say when I stop laughing.

Bush isn’t in denial, he’s lying.

Good name dragged through the mud for political reasons. Ha!
Hey, bush, you nitwit, have you ever heard of Valerie Plame? Yes, you have. Think hard and maybe you’ll remember that her very good name was not only dragged through the mud, it continues to be slimed by the right, for political reasons.
And may the door hit Gonzo on his lying ass when leaves his office on his final day of “work”(GASP!). He will escape prosecution via a Dumbya pardon.
Only if the next door to hit this treasonous, lying goon in the ass would be the one of a cell door it would be a day to rejoice.
Bush is right on this one: Gonzo was dragged through the mud because he tried to politicize the DoJ to get republicans elected. Also, b/c loyalty to his party outweighs loyalty to his constitution, country, and human decency, he decided almost single handedly to claim “Torture is okay with us!” Everything that happened was for partisian political reasons.
This congress, while it’s had some MAJOR slip-ups (signing the FISA law, backing down on Iraq), has done more work and held more people accountable in the few short months its been in office than all the years of Republican domination put together. Yet, minority leader Mitch McConnell had a different take on the Gonzalez resignation:
“It is my hope that whomever President Bush selects as the next attorney general, he or she is not subjected to the same poisonous partisanship that we’ve sadly grown accustomed to over the past eight months,” McConnell, R-Ky., said in a statement.
See that? REMEMBER that. McConnell called hard work and accountability “poisonous”.
Accurate enough, I guess. Most Republican politicians do find that to be a bitter, poisonous stew…
I wish I could laugh but instead I am really disturbed by Bush’s speech. Does he believe what he’s saying? Does he think we believe him? What freaking planet does he live on? Even my republican acquaintances are glad to see Gonzo go.
Next, Chertoff. Out of the frying pan and into - well, you know.
Insane pathological liars, criminals and politcal sociopaths
engage in coverup until they are jailed and/or prosecuted.
Today marks the day where all the good people of America, regardless of political party
–> are now even more United.
UNITED WE STAND: Against George W. Bush, Richard B. Cheney and other civil officers who have committed Treason, Bribery, and other High Crimes and Misdemeanors against the United States of America, our institutions and our people.
Just another example of a rat fleeing a sinking ship. How long will it be before everyone in this administration “resigns”, and only Bush and Cheney are left with nobody to take the fall for them. This is only the beginning, and hopefully the end has these two in prison for the crimes they have committed. Here’s to hoping that our next President is not like Gerald Ford, and does not give these two a pardon on their way out.
This baboon has a future in comedy when he is done dragging our nation through the shit hole. What a dillusional idiot!
If by mud President Alden Pyle is referring to the gooey mixture of horse shit, bullshit, and Abu G flop sweat that Abu himself concocted. Then yes, he was in some deep mud. However, I’d say he was more back stroking than being dragged.
And Valerie Plame? Joe Wilson?
W is the biggest hypocrite EVER.
Political reasons? Warrentless wiretapping, Gitmo, Valerie Plame Wilson, unanswered subpoenas, Ashcroft’s hospital bed, firing federal attorneys to appoint cronies…just a short list. I am sure there would be more, but “I don’t recall” all of the offenses-political or otherwise!
Sorry, that should read Abu G perjury-induced flop sweat.
Reich-wingers, the party of misunderstood victims.
I am going to say it again…in 1980’s an EPA administrator lied to congress, about an Investigation, during hearings…she WENT TO PRISON FOR LYING TO CONGRESS…her name was Rita LaValley…and she did time for lying to congress during an Investigation…and about Bush speaking so brokenhearted about HIS Fredo…I am surprised that he didn’t say he did a HECKUVA JOB…
I do feel a bit sorry for Alberto, that a man whose ancestors recently came from Mexico has disgraced himself. But how in god’s name could he have learned so little of this nation’s history, traditions and what our ancestors have tried to build. We stray and correct and try, generally to be true to the promise of the Founding Fathers. Could he not have seen how enabling GWB from frat boy to president was so at odds with the principles that gave him the chances he has had? Sympathy yes, but forgiveness, no.
I wish boosh was in denial, he’d introduce his shoulder to an asp.
‘Gonzales,’integrity’, ‘decency’,'principle’ all in the same sentence.
hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!
For the chimp to stand there and talk about things being done for political reasons when he as used politics to further a war and kill our youth, is beyond hypocrisy. He should choke on his own words. This guy and his minions work for Satan and is beneath contempt. Why no one in the media has the guts to shove his own words back down his lying throat is beyond me. As for Cornyn, he is nothing more than an ass licker and we know where his tongue has been. Rethuglican first, Texas cretin second, and lastly and leastly American, that’s Cornyn.
Oh, poor Al. Now he’ll have to go to work in the private sector earning hundreds of millions of dollars shilling for the reich wing.
Too bad Gonzo was only dragged through the mud, I would’ve prefered a rail.

Make them cry. Keep up the pressure. Piss off Bush. Just make them cry.
Mark @ News Corpse @ 17:
Not so! I am an artist and I produce work that has political content to help fight disinformation and spread progressive messages. This is an important part of movement building and should be respected.
Historically, artists have been at the forefront of social activism and they have been the most effective voices for change. I think it is tragic that this is not the case today. Would you delete Robbie Conal or Sheppard Fairey or maybe Picasso’s Guernica (not that I’m comparing myself to Picasso)? See John Heartfield’s work in 1930’s Germany for more examples.
In the event that I have (hopefully) persuaded you that this is legitimate activism, I’m going to repost the link. If you still think it’s blogwhoring, delete it and I will (reluctantly) respect your decision. But I will always believe that it is easier to move people with visual and other creative expressions than it is with endless text and speeches.
The Gonzales Factor
Thanks for your reconsideration.
today, michael vick aquitted himself better than either the ag or the chimp in charge
he did not blame anyone else, accepted the fact that he is a miscreant, and apologized to the children of the world
i hope bill clinton is paying close attention to what is happening here
hey bill, your problem was…your administration wasnt corrupt enuf
the more corrupt, the less likely to impeach
btw, the chimps statements today were a shot across the bow….if the dems have any backbone, they do not accept any of his noms for ag replacement…not one
Chimpy needs to remove his head from his ass and realize that it was the GOP that wanted Gonzo gone…not the Dems. The GOP was tired of dealing with the Gonzo mess, while the Dems were only too happy to watch it play out.
Tigerwong @ 5:
Makes sense. Bush is from Bizarro world. Has to be. It’s the only thing that can explain such statements.

* Replacing adjectives with their opposite.

Alberto Gonzales may be gone, but his crimes are not forgotten. From illegal NSA domestic surveillance, condoning torture and the unprecedented expansion of presidential powers to undermining minority voting rights, the political purge of U.S. prosecutors and lying under oath to Congress, Gonzales’ deception, misdeeds and blatant criminality extend well beyond Bush’s beloved Fredo.
For the Top 10 Reasons Gonzales Had to Go, see:
“Gonzo But Not Forgotten: The Crimes of Alberto Gonzales.”
If alberto didn’t do anything wrong at all, then he’s chickenshit for giving up and resigning. Bush was very pissed today. You hear it and see it. That alone could make my day.
Sorry. Links suck.

and no protesting in bellevue WA today. El Jefe is coming, and they don’t want him to know that people think this war shit sucks.
Does anyone really wonder why this POS is out of touch?
A guy on an earlier post said it first. Wait for the Recess Appointment. Ever since he said that I have been waiting for the bombshell.
