OPEDNEWS: No rules for W's government.
No rules for W's government.

The article "Bedtime for Gonzo" states "At this point, every day Alberto Gonzales continues as attorney general means more dishonor for the office and the nation -- and higher blood pressure for Senate Judiciary Committee members trying desperately to get a straight answer out of the man."

The "Democrats are threatening to investigate him for perjury. But it was Sen. Arlen Specter, a Republican, who looked Gonzo in the face and told him, "I do not find your testimony credible, candidly."Specter seems ready to pop a gasket. "The hearing two days ago was devastating" for Gonzo, Specter said yesterday. "But so was the hearing before that, and so was the hearing before that." .....

...

Gonzales is a pathological liar and would have to be to enable his boss to perpetrate as many affronts on our constitution as "He's a slippery fellow, and I think so intentionally," said Richard L. Schott, a professor at the University of Texas's Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs. "He's trying to keep the president's secrets and to be a team player, even if it means prevaricating or forgetting convenient things.""This almost subconscious bond of loyalty" between the attorney general and the president "may be driving a lot of this," said Schott, who has studied relations between the executive and legislative branches of government and the role of psychology in political behavior. "It's obvious that Gonzales owes Bush his career. Part of his behavior comes from this gratitude and extreme loyalty to Bush."The article notes "Questions about Gonzales's willingness to shade the truth on Bush's behalf came to prominence in the 1996 episode in which Bush was excused from Texas jury duty in a drunken-driving case. Bush was then the state's governor, and Gonzales was his general counsel. If Bush had served, he probably would have had to disclose his own drunken-driving conviction in Maine two decades earlier."

Gonzales, as well as Karen Hughes, also helped big bro 43 out the mess relating to W's skipping out of his Air Force guard duty. ....

1. Loyal team members or fellow cheerleaders. Photo shopping - don't
forget the story that appeared on Drudge as candidates were announcing they were going to run around 1999. A team of people were scouring and scurrying to uncover a photo of one of the candidates dancing nude on a table top wearing only boots - according to the report/words from Matt.

I never thought it was Gore, LaRouche, Bauer, Buchanen, Bradley and any of the others.

I always think of Karen playing detective and giving orders about where to look.

I didn't know his team then.

We sure do now.

Assuming we are speaking of George.

Only nicknames and blackmail material separate his team members.
