Gonzales

[Happy Monkey]

Apparently Gonzales, despite his weaseling, managed to contradict some documented evidence and Congress is going to try to get a special counsel to investigate him for perjury. Should be interesting. I wonder how independent the DOJ's Solicitor General is.

And I disagree that it becomes moot when Bush goes out of office. Even if we can't prevent further damage, prosecuting past crime remains important.

It's not a moot point on principle, but in reality, our political will extends as far as a TV news cycle. Nu-Democracy has to put asses in seats.

All of this couldn't be happening to a more deserving guy. We discussed him and his fucked up legal writings a bit in this thread when he was appointed to this position. I like Jaguar's quote the best.

I've hated Gonzales ever since he was White House counsel. He's pro-torture. In my mind that's a much worse crime than lying to a bunch of senators, but if this is what takes him down, then I'm all for it.

Add one more name to Bush's outgoing Presidential pardon list.
