Don't cry for me federal attorneys (and torture victims, John Ashcroft, etc.) part dos




Alberto "Gonzo" Gonzales once again looks like he is gonna cry during a Senate Judiciary Hearing. Here he is getting grilled by Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI). My new complaint of Gonzales is that he always shows up wearing what looks to be the same suit and tie. This can be very confusing. If I wasn't an organized person I would wonder which hearing he was at denying everything.

I kinda wonder why they bother with Gonzales testifying. He's just gonna deny everything. He's never gonna resign, though I get the feeling he'd like to, but is to chicken. Bush will never fire him, and Congress can't force him out of office. It does provide for great theater though, watching him squirm.

Once again I despise Code Pink. They were rude and disruptive during the whole proceeding. Don't they get it that no one cares about them anymore. I refuse to take their picture, but in this case the sign wound up in the photo anyways. Jedi Master Doug said he liked the photo. That made my day. I feel like Luke Skywalker now, well maybe Lukette. Though I still have much to learn.



That reminds me of what Yoda said in "Episode 1":

"Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, and hate leads to suffering."

And for another Gonzo - Gonzo the Great.

Don't cry for me federal attorneys

Yesterday I got to photograph the Gonzales hearing with the Jedi Master Doug, whose genius I can only hope I can attain. To quote Beck's song "Ozzy":
[Doug] you're the man...how can I grasp your power?

This is one of the photos I took. I was just waiting for (soon not to be) Attorney General Gonzales to start crying at any moment. Considering the tears I have shed recently, I can't say that I would have blamed him. He was getting a far worse critique than I have ever received. Then again, I don't aid and abet in stripping away civil liberties.
