Cheney is A "Big Fan" of Gonzales
By Paul Kiel - July 30, 2007, 4:15 PM
Dick Cheney musters his vanishing popularity on behalf of Alberto Gonzales:
Vice President Dick Cheney said Monday that he is a "big fan" of embattled Attorney General Alberto Gonzales.
In a interview with CBS News White House Correspondent Mark Knoller, the vice president also said Gonzales has been truthful in his testimony before Congress.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Pat Leahy, a Democrat, has said he doesn't trust Gonzales, but Cheney said the attorney general has the support of the only man who really counts.
"I've had my differences with Pat Leahy," Cheney said. "I think the key is whether or not he (Gonzales) has the confidence of the president — and he clearly does."

1. No, the question is whether he has the confidence of his ACTUAL employers...

You know, DICK, the American People?

2. Well, how many guys get to spy on the people who are investigating him?

Had I committed treason, and Gonzo allowed me to spy on the Justice Department, I'd be a "big fan" also.

3. Gonzo's crytic answers regarding who sent him/Card to Ashcroft's bedside may be the reason

The Cheney NSA Program

"A lot of what needs to be done here will have to be done quietly, without any discussion, using sources and methods that are available to our intelligence agencies."- Dick Cheney

It is now clear to anyone paying attention, that Alberto Gonzales talks around the truth with almost every sentence he utters. Although one might become frustrated with this obstruction, it is very useful to consider his words and the intricate web they weave. I submit that the web of Gonzales statements forms a sculpter’s mold ready for casting.

Below the fold is continuing story of reasoned speculation regarding the NSA surveillance Program and the roles played by officials within the Bush administration in the program and cover-up. I submit that the Domestic Warrantless Wiretapping was a "Dark Side" program originated and directed by Dick Cheney.

To me, the most important point of this response is the choice of the word “president”. By selectively identifying the president as uninvolved in NSA programs, Gonzales opens the door as to who was authorizing the NSA programs he clearly knows about.

4. What's not to like? Gonzo is his other puppet; he's a regular Geppetto! nt

5. Geppetto is an excellent parallel

We know what Pinnochio is so famous.
