When Lying Liars Lie

Gonzales Denies Pressuring Ashcroft – washingtonpost.com
Most members of Gonzales’s senior staff have resigned or are on the way out. Several outside candidates turned down chances to be considered for the job of his deputy, and more than a half-dozen other top positions remain filled by temporary appointees. Some of the department’s key legislative priorities — including intelligence law revisions and anti-crime proposals — also have bogged down because of the fight with Democrats over the prosecutor firings.

Well, it’s really a misrepresentation of the situation to call it a “fight with Democrats”. More and more Republicans are realizing how badly Gonzales has screwed things up and they, too, are calling for his resignation. What better proof could we need, really, for how frighteningly out of touch with reality George W. Bush is than that Alberto Gonzales remains in the office of Attorney General? Not only is the man an unapologetic LIAR, he has repeatedly made it very clear that he has no respect for our Constitution, for the safety of our country, or for our position in the international community. He makes all of us look bad. He’s an embarrassment. And he’s a danger to us all because he represents a kind of “above the law” attitude that’s anathema to the very idea of liberty and democracy.

I honestly think he’s evil. And that’s not a word I use lightly.
