After the Pledge of Allegiance

Alberto Gonzales has no more business being the Attorney General than he does the Pope. Unfit even as G.W. Bush’s attorney and advisor when Bush was Governor of Texas (more poor, black, or mentally deranged folks executed in Texas than in all the blue states combined), Alberto Gonzales is constitutionally incapable of being anything other than Dubya’s lapdog. The very fact that torture is even a part of our national dialogue now can be laid directly at this fawning sycophant’s feet. To approve him as Attorney General would be something like letting Al Capone run the FBI—too stupid to even consider.
