I truly believe one of Alberto Gonzales' problems is the fact that George W. Bush has always given him his political offices and entry into a world that Alberto VO5 is totaly ill-equipped to handle.
While in Texas, the man never ran for anything, let alone won anything. He's always been given his jobs by the same guy, and always been around to cover someone's well-exposed ass when that certain person fucks up royally.
Alberto, hwo was just another non-descript lawyer, was appointed by Bush as:
* Texas Secretary of State (he followed Tony Garza, who would run rings around Gonzales intellectually)
* Texas Supreme Court justice (without having EVER been a judge of anything ... from appellate court to American Idol or even a beauty pageant)
* White House counsel (how's the Patriot Act and all that justification for torture going, huh?)
* Attorney General (I never thought anyone could be as bad as John Ashcroft; oops, wrong that time!)
With Bush, there IS no Alberto Gonzales because he couldn't win office (he's not that good of a politician or candidate). He is what he is - a fuckin' puppet, writing opinions based on politics, and what his superiors WANT, not what the law requires.
To quote Upton Sinclair:
"If is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it."
I heard this quote from Al Gore's movie, "An Inconvenient Truth," but that should not diminish its truthfulness. It speaks exactly to Alberto VO5.
Mister Peter Principle if ever there was one. And if you have to look that up to undestand it, you are too goddamn young to be reading.
