IS FREDO'S ROWBOAT COMING?

F.B.I. Chief Gives Account at Odds With Gonzales’s

I refer of course to the 'let's go fishing' sequence in The Godfather where happy faced liar Fredo gets taken for a wet ride.

Or have we gotten used to having a AJ who is a serial liar?

He wouldn't be the first or last but we don't have to keep him do we?

NO SHAME

I don't know why I thought otherwise.

I guess that I am from a different time and set of values.

If you are disgraced and found wanting in public office, the traditional thing to do has always been to resign.

No longer.

Gonzales went up to the hill and, regaining his smirk, brazened it out and refused to be contrite or to tow the line that had been set down by our reps.

The prez sez he did a great job.

Well, of course. He took the bullet for the White House and he is not going to be asked to take his wounded body off stage.

Payback for loyalty.

We will see what develops.

Then there is Wolfowitz.

Spare me.

I just can't describe the surprise I felt when I saw the bush come out and support this semi-thug.

But, there I go again.

I forget that these people have no shame or remorse. It is their standard way of doing business.

I am reminded of the picture of Yalie george holding some guy's head and punching him in the eye on the soccer field.

I am so fucking naive.

PICTURE WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS

There was another one that I lost. A guy with a fatigue hat was holding up a scoreboard on the number of times that Gonzo said 'I don't recall'.

There were 50 or so tics in the photo at the time.

IF NOT HIM WHO

I didn't watch wall to wall with the Gonzo yesterday but I did hit a lot of highlights and read some transcripts.

My conclusion is partisan, of course.

One: he is a liar and dissembler.

Two: He is covering up for the White House.

I don't think that he is really that bright a guy. He is a water carrier.

That has been his job description with bush from the beginning.

So, today's NYT editorial hits the nail right on the head.

If he didn't do it—make the list, decide on the hits, give the orders—then who did?

I think we all know the answer to that one.

Rove?

Are you there?

Gonzles vs. Gonzales

REVISE THE GALBRAITH RULE

You know. If someone says that he will not resign four times, it means he will.

Now add that if the White House expresses confidence in you four times you are expected to resign.

W.House says Bush still confident in Wolfowitz

Tomorrow is Gonzo's big day. He is 4 for 4 on both counts.

BEDTIME FOR GONZO

Evidently, Gonzales is doing so badly in his rehearsals for the 0417 appearance that a lot of his peeps have given up on him.

I wonder if that smirk is still in place.

GALBRAITH FACTOR

I don't know if this is a 3 of a 4 on the scale.

Video: Gonzales: 'I will not resign'

He has to say it 4 times before we know he will.

THE ROVE SHOW

WSJ on line Evening Edition:

Before today's vote, White House Press Secretary Tony Snow said the administration was attempting to avoid the media circus likely to result from Mr. Rove being seated for a public hearing.

Well, of course.

He is the ringmaster and has been.

I know. There is Cheney but he doesn't have an act in this show.

It is amusing to watch these bastards squirm.

The most active conspirator in the whole deal and we cannot hear what he has to say.

These guys are beyond belief.

I would think that Snow's career, if any, in the media is over.

Well, there is always Fox.

GO GONZO

The WSJ Question of the Day was: Should Attorney General Gonzales remain in office?

So far 71 % say NO!

This is a tough rightish sort of audience.

Maybe he will have to say he will 'not resign' again, raising his Galbraith Index.

Remember?

Anyone who says he will not resign four times, will.

GONZO TAKES A HIT

J. Kenneth Galbraith, applying the principles of economics to all affairs, famously said that anyone who says they 'will not resign' four times, will.

Gonzo now has a score of 1 and almost certainly will hit a 2 tomorrow as reporters comb through the data dump today at the White House.

Gonzales Says ‘Mistakes Were Made’ in Firing of Prosecutors

What irks me about Gonzales is his shit-eating grin.

He can and has said the most outrageous stuff and always, always, always, has that little smile going. Even when they are after him hard.

I didn't see the tape of today's presser (which he walked out on after the fourth question) but I bet he wasn't grinning.
