Bush and Gonzales go down in history,

IF, you can stomach it, watch this video. After laying out just how wonderful Alberto Gonzales is and was, Bush adopts his best righteously indignant tone of voice and mourns how his good and true, humble and loyal, talented and somehow very creepy, friend, Alberto Gonzales, was dragged through the...mud.

Those three dots (...) designate the pause in Bush's speech pattern. Is it my imagination or does Bush pause between "the" and "mud" to turn a page? He's not familiar enough with the phrase to wing it? He has to read it?

What else could he have been dragged through Mr. Bush? SHIT? We can only grin at the visual. Blood? NO, Mr. Bush, that's what you have done to hundreds of thousands. How about; dragged through mildly disturbing congressional hearings in an attempt to get to the truth?

Until the end he was like you, Mr. Bush, given a pass on his viciousness and disregard for checks and balances, congressional approval the Constitution and international human rights.

And now, Mr. Bush, you have one less person to fluff up the pillows of your imagination. You will, one day, have to leave your bed of lies and blood soaked sheets to be dragged through the...mud...of history and truth.

Farewell my shining star, though darkness is upon me, we will always be together.
