Alberto Gonzales: A Record of Injustice – Center for American Progress

Alberto Gonzoles, who is most likely going to be Ashcroft’s replacement despite tough questions from Democrats in the confirmation hearings, is another disaster for our country.

This man has a long history with Bush. This link provides the most concise presentation of the evidence against him and includes details about his history of corruption and his horrible manipulation of the system of law and corporate reality in America.

I suppose it would be nominally worse to have him appointed to the Supreme Court, but maybe that’s in the cards for later. He was on the short list.

Values, people? Where are these values you keep referring to? This man is intentionally malevolent, greedy – oh, adjectives fail me on this one.

Bush and Co have a knack for finding kind of people that Hannah Arendt described in terms of the banality of evil. They don’t necessarily look evil. But this guy….I’m sorry…his repeated actions can’t be described in any other way.

Well, at least the evil white guys get more company every year. It’s an equal-opportunity kinda evil regime. Everyone has a chance to be corrupt and powerful. Everyone has a chance to screw us over.

We’ll be another Argentina before long – if only Laura Bush at least had the style of Eva Peron we could have a moment of rapture before the fall. Instead, they want to push a fall, hoping for rapture. Maybe – although I’ve also heard that certain very powerful evangelists load up their airplanes with mining equipment when they are pretending to bring aid to other countries.
