The Abu Gonzales Act, redux

Remember, second-rate legal talent is hard to find and important to this country. Especially lawyers who have had their lips firmly implanted on Beloved Leaders scrotum for literally decades...

Go figure that Abu Gonzales, the man who terms the Geneva Convention "quaint" wants to renew the most un-thoughtout bill in the history of the republic in full, just 'cause.

The nation's two top law enforcement officials urged Congress yesterday to fully renew the USA Patriot Act, arguing that the controversial anti-terrorism law needs only minor tweaking to address the concerns of critics from both sides of the political spectrum.

Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales and FBI Director Robert S. Mueller III testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee that the efforts of the FBI and federal prosecutors to track and stop al Qaeda operatives would be severely hampered if 16 provisions set to expire at the end of the year are not renewed.

It strikes me that calling Abu Gonzales a law enforcement official is a bit like calling John Ashcroft an Athiest isn't it? Neither is particularly quailified for the role, but can fulfill it by virtue of having a pulse...

Give Ashcroft a break. How many men can honestly claim to have lost an election to a dead, AND balance a singing career with creating an emerging fascism?

Second-rate legal talent? I think you are being much too charitable to Gonzales, myself.

The Republicans rallied around Bush with vocal support for this? The opposition party called him out on this?

They should have thrown him under the jail but Chertoff did a great job on the 9-11 coverup and got a promotion for it.

He looks like a capo.

Gonzales (and his brother) are School of the Americas profiles. Look at their background and timelines.
