So - it finally happened. Gonzales is out the door. Great riddance, smug face. It seems like eons ago - but I wrote about this abject failure of a man and the impropriety when he became the AG. And together with his buddy Bush, he managed to destroy his office's credibility so thoroughly, his successor will have a hard time convincing anyone that water flows down and not up. I feel Gonzales has done tremendous damage to the country and the constitution - there should tough punishments for the high crimes that these so called 'public servants' commit. Here's my entry, as I take a bow. "An even bigger question is: isn't there a huge conflict of interest when they promoted Gonzales from Bush's counsel to the nation's number one law man? What if in the times that Bush was his client, he was part of some decisions that were clearly illegal, like oh say illegal wiretaps on US citizens? Does anyone think as the Attorney General, Gonzales is going to go back and ...

If there ever was a group of people who I thought would be steadfastedly behind Bush, it would be that cabal - the Neo Conservatives. Their idea was always to use the might of the USA to propel the wayward but oil-rich countries of the world into our way of thinking. An esteemed cause, in their eyes. Well, not anymore. The so called Architects of the Iraq War are now calling out the Engineers of the Iraq War as the worst bunch of professionals ever assembled to do anything. In the latest Vanity Fair article, there's a preview of what's to come in the January 2007 issue. It's some pretty damning stuff to the administration. Of all the rants, I found the following lines from the neocon David Frum (the Bush speech writer who crafted the infamous State of The Union Axis of Evil speech) about Mr. Bush the most damning and revealing: "I always believed as a speechwriter that if you could persuade the president to commit himself to certain words, he would feel himself committed ...

Andrew Sullivan thinks so too. I agree. So Kerry botched a joke. But he didn't botch a war now, did he?

Traditionally, the incumbent in the White House never stepped out on a limb and called half the country traitors. I should not have been surprised when Bush ran right over that line yesterday without even stopping to appear remotely thoughtful or impartial. "SUGAR LAND, Tex., Oct. 30 -- President Bush said terrorists will win if Democrats win and impose their policies on Iraq, as he and Vice President Cheney escalated their rhetoric Monday in an effort to turn out Republican voters in next week's midterm elections." So now, terrorists will win, if Democrats win. In other words, over 50% of the country who want the Dems to win are working against the interests of America. In short, they are traitors. You know, I never truly considered you as my President, what with Florida and all but I did give you the benefit of the doubt - but now, it is clear you never thought you were our President either.

MSNBC.com 'Beginning of the end of America' Olbermann addresses the Military Commissions Act in a special comment SPECIAL COMMENT By Keith Olbermann Anchor, 'Countdown' Countdown Updated: 10:43 a.m. CT Oct 19, 2006 We have lived as if in a trance. We have lived as people in fear. And now—our rights and our freedoms in peril—we slowly awake to learn that we have been afraid of the wrong thing. Therefore, tonight have we truly become the inheritors of our American legacy. For, on this first full day that the Military Commissions Act is in force, we now face what our ancestors faced, at other times of exaggerated crisis and melodramatic fear-mongering: A government more dangerous to our liberty, than is the enemy it claims to protect us from. We have been here before—and we have been here before led here—by men better and wiser and nobler than George W. Bush. We have been here when President John ...
