Stand Up Guys

In all honesty, no one cares about the Alberto Gonzales case anymore. That is not to say that no one thinks it is important. I for one think that it is, and I know that it weighs heavily on the minds of many people. But at this point, everyone knows that he did a great wrong to those eight US attorneys. They know that Bush knows that. They know that Bush still stands by his supporter through all of this; after all, isn't he still a loyal Bushie? And they know that Alberto Gonzales is going to get away with what he has done, if only because the Bush administration is, at this point, utterly inconsequential. The fact that he pressured John Ashcroft, while he lay in a hospital bed, to accept the NSA's domestic spying plan, while even more damning to his public character, does nothing to change that sad fact. It does say something about how the Bush administration chooses to get things done; through intimidation and strong arm tactics, rather than through diplomacy and friendship. With policies like that, I'm just shocked that our foreign relations are in the shambles that they are (<-- sarcasm).
