MSM: "AG Gonzales Resigns in Disgrace. How badly WILL this hurt the Democrats??"

[Sparkly]

"They've lost their favorite punching bag."

"They've lost one of their applause lines."

"They really beat up on this guy, and there's no evidence of any crime."

"He really took a beating from the Democrats."

Blah blah freakin' blah... :eyes:

[NanceGreggs]

1. Don't fret, MSM ...

As far as we Dems are concerned, there's plenty more punching bags where that one came from.

[Sparkly]

2. Yeah really -- didn't they say that about Rummy, too?

:crazy:

[NanceGreggs]

6. And Rove, and Libby ...

Ya gotta give this administration credit for ONE thing: thanks to their many efforts, there will never be a shortage of punching bags, OR punchlines!

[Sparkly]

9. That's true... Hope it "hurts" us in next year's elections like it did in last year's.

Just like "punching bags" Mark Foley and Duke Cunningham damaged DEMOCRATS.

The MSM really needs a new script.

[aquart]

4. Bless you.

[AtomicKitten]

3. I don't think the Dems are done with Gonzales.

[Bitwit1234]

5. Well I hope they are not finished with him and indicte the S.O.B.

[AtomicKitten]

16. Conyers has pledged to continue.

Low-Income Oakland Renters Are Being Displaced By Hope VI Projects!
Hope VI Project Double-Crosses Oakland Renters

By Lynda Carson October 22, 2006

Oakland CA - A developer's recent glossy sales brochure paints the Coliseum Gardens housing development in East Oakland as being the next best thing, since chocolate milk. Being hailed as the most comprehensive development to date for one of Oakland's largest nonprofit housing developers, an in depth look beyond the hype and propaganda being used to measure the success of the project reveals that only 4 out of the 178 low-income families displaced by the development, actually managed to return to the newly rebuilt housing complex that was recently christened as Lion Creek Crossings.

Documents reveal that as an effort to reduce violence and drug trafficking

8. LAZY and vindictive 'journalism"

[fedupinBushcountry]

10. Agree, 100%

If there is one slogan I would like to hear or see over and over again it is , "It's the MEDIA, stupid".

[Supersedeas]

11. the "no-crime" talking point is priceless -- is that the standard for the chief law enforcement

officer in the land -- to be unconvicted makes him worthy of the position??

Some standards the GOP/Corp Media is trying to establish.

[KurtNYC]

12. but in 1998 they said "rule of law", "rule of law"

perjury, rule of law, perjury, rule of law, perjury etc.

[Brigid]

13. Excuse me?

We didn't choose him to be AG. We're not responsible for his abuses of civil lliberties or his unbelievable incompetence. :wtf:

[sampsonblk]

14. Let's be honest: Gonzales won

He escaped with no criminal charges pending. None even filed. So he left because he wanted to leave. Because he got sick of fighting, maybe. He should have been forced out. But he got to take his own walk on his own time schedule. No cuffs.

Now the GOP will say its time to let go of the investigations. And they have a point. Nothing is going to come from the investigations if Gonzales is gone. If you can't get the guy when he's in town thumbing his nose at you daily, how are you going to get him when he's gone? The Dems in Congress can't even stomp Monica Goodling's ass. Or Sara Taylor. Or Harriet Miers either. On Gonzo's order, they all basically told the whole Congress to fuck off.

So now Gonzo won't have to testify anymore either - exec privilege, or so they will claim.

He will never see the inside of a jail cell. Hard as it is to say it, he friggin won.

[rasputin1952]

15. He didn't win anything, except a free trip home in disgrace.

there may still be charges, and the whole "executive privledge" item is being challenged.

Just because he's out of office means nothing, unless he receives a pardon, he's open to any and all criminal proceedings that may come down the pike.

[sampsonblk]

18. A pardon is a certainty

Bush has balls. If he'd pardon Libby, he will pardon Gonzales.

[rasputin1952]

22. He didn't pardon Libby, just made sure he wouldn't go to jail by

taking out the prison time to be served. He's still guilty, just no time behind bars.

Gonzo might well get a pardon, actually, I'd be kind of surprised if he didn't...:(

[wiggs]

19. I believe you're right. A little bad press and a few weeks in the unemployment

line is NOTHING compared to the bounty the neocons and their corporatist colleagues have reaped. All these guys will be heroes in board rooms for years. They've accomplished more than they could have dreamed, I'm sure. Shoot, even jailtime for underlings is small potatoes. We're talking about trillions of dollars.

They probably can't believe they've lasted this long in office without impeachment, revolt, criminal convictions, and daily protest. The second term is all gravy for them...I don't believe they are really worried about anything.

Being fired from your job for embezzlement, corruption, immoral behavior, and basically driving your company into the ditch is the mildest consequence imaginable.

[underpants]

21. He kept his mouth shut

his payoff is going to be huge.

[AX10]

17. The Internet scares the shit out of the shitbags known as the MSM.

We can keep the pressure on these thugs now!

[HughBeaumont]

20. This smacks of . . .

CAVUTO!

Faux's most insufferable Bushbot.

Just looking at him makes me want to sock that grill in with my heel.
