Ashcroft resigns...Alright!!!! Gonzales up for the job...Oh Shit!!!

The age of Ashcroft has come to an end. When I first heard he was resigning, I, like many other people breathed a sigh of relief. But immediatly following that sigh, I was worried about what monster Bush would pick to fill the job. Not one to dissappoint fans of the apocolypse Bush has chosen Alberto Gonzales. Yes, that Alberto Gonzales The Torture Guy:

The president is putting his own counsel, Alberto Gonzales, who wrote the famous memo defending torture, in charge of America's civil liberties. Torture Guy, who blithely threw off 75 years of international law and set the stage for the grotesque abuses at Abu Ghraib and dubious detentions at Guantánamo, seems to have a good grasp of what's just. No doubt we'll soon learn what other protections, besides the Geneva Conventions and the Constitution, Gonzales finds "quaint" and "obsolete."


So welcome to the nighmare of a second Bush term where torture is the norm and the government is above the law. Are you Red-Staters happy now? Theres nothing good to come from this that I can see. Maybe the uproar over this guy's record will be so great that the torture scandals get more attention.... wait what was I thinking, this is the same country that just invited Bush back to the White House. Get ready for more of this crap from Bush and pray for the health and longevity of the Supreme Court.


What's with the tortured logic?
