U. S. Attorney General

Senator Charles Schumer was right now on C-SPAN-3 being interviewed on the Gonzales mess.

He has not only has said that there is growing bi-partisan consensus that Alberto Gonzales is not fit for the job of US Attorney General, but has said that "he is less qualified to be attorney general than the US attorneys he fired". And, just to dig the point deeper, he offered the comment that, had this had happened under the Reagan administration, Gonzales would have been summarily fired.

I kind of disagree on that one because, in Reagan's America, he would have never been hired in the first place.

I have always been baffled by the inclusiveness and diversity of the Bush administration. I could have never fathomed a black woman Secretary of State under any Democratic presidency, yet thanks to George Bush, Condoleeza Rice is not just that, but she's also one of the most powerful women in the world.

The same goes with the concept of a latino working as U. S. Attorney General, but here I am watching Alberto Gonzales trying to weasel his way out of the Judiciary Commitee hearing on the recent firing of eight U.S. Attorneys.

Gonzales ...

Rice ...

It's amazing what people will do for power.

It's kind of taboo for a minority to denounce another one. We're not supposed to that. We're supposed to present a united front against oppression. You know, because we're all supposed to be one consciousness and not act out of free agency and will.

Yahhh. Riiiiight.
