Change For A Nickel

I think this administration is trying to set a new record for most scandals per week.  The latest debacle that has consumed the oxygen in news rooms across the country is the firing of eight US attorneys.  The only talking points the administration can drum up are, ‘The situation was mis-handled’ and ‘The US attorneys serve at the pleasure of the President’.  They sound like a broken record.  Let’s talk about Alberto Gonzalez changing story!  He must be saying to himself, “Let me throw it out there and see what sticks.”  Sorry Gonzo, giant turds do not stick to the wall.  They smear, fall and still stink!

And I don’t know if anyone caught Gonzo being interviewed on NBC by Pete Williams, but how on Earth did this guy get a license to practice law?  The case he was trying to make was full of gaping holes.  At one point he says he is responsible and at another point he says he was not involved in the decision making!  Which is it??  I interpret this as either he did know and lied about the reasons why the attorneys were fired or he is incompetent and has no control over high ranking officials in the DoJ!  Either way he should be fired.  Period!  Hell, he should have common sense to step the fuck down.  It’s just making the President look bad and this country doesn’t need our President looking bad!!  But the fun hasn’t even begun.  Gonzo’s chief of staff was fired and says he’s going to testify (aka sing like a canary!).  And the latest tangle for the administration is the news that Monica Goodling, a justice department official is taking the 5th!  Naw, that doesn’t look bad at all.  This is better than watching a Spanish Novella!  I wonder what is going to happen today!!
