OK, so as you all know, this blog has never been a fan of our very own orgullo hispano, housepanic Alberto GONEzales, but it is certainly very interesting to note that while he was criticized, rebuked, protested and harassed for authorizing torture and ignoring the Constitution….
IF ONLY HE HAD BEEN WHITE maybe it would not have been such a problem… or just ask Chuck Schumer…
About GONEzales:
On question after question, on torture and nearly everything else, it almost seemed like Judge Gonzales was going out of his way to avoid answering us. He demonstrated a lack of straightforwardness and independence. For me, that is the straw which broke the camel’s back…
Time and time again, this Administration has gotten itself in trouble by trying to go it alone rather than doing business out in the open. Whether it was the Total Information Awareness Project, the TIPS program, or torture, they’ve been burned by their peculiar penchant for secrecy.
But this is just too significant a job at too important a time to have an Attorney General about whom I have such severe doubts.
I really have no choice but to, with sadness, vote “no”. (full document here)
Meanwhile
Following is the statement issued today by Senator Charles E. Schumer, Democrat of New York, announcing that he will vote in favor of President Bush’s nominee for attorney general, Michael B. Mukasey.
I will support Judge Michael Mukasey for attorney general.
So there you have it, not speaking Spanish and being married to a blond, still doesn´t get you as far as you may think.
