At long last Alberto Gonzales is gone (or will be as of September 17th). Neither he nor the White House have given any explanation. Not that any explanation they give would fool us. In retrospect I can't believe they bothered to give an explanation when Karl Rove "quit." Both men went from being political assets to this despotic administration, to being political liabilities. End of story.

That is not to say they won't be well rewarded for their service to the fourth Reich. Like Scooter Libby both Rove and Gonzo will be presented with care packages stuffed with Get Out of Jail Free cards, invitations to join lucrative lobbying positions and/or corporate boards, and membership for life in the Good Ol' Boy's Club. That Gonzo made it from Mexican immigrant parents to this position in life is a testament to what graft will buy you.

OK, so hurrah Gonzo is gone. Shit! He was really the Dem's best chance at nailing Bush and Cheney. Actually Libby, Rove and Gonzo were the Trifecta. And while each of them can still be investigated (though some argue that Libby is currently actually immune to such), I now anticipate any Democrat led investigations to fold like a house of cards. Double shit!

Just so we have the record straight, I am not out to see Bush and Cheney get their just deserts for vengeance's sake. Yes, I am petty enough to want to see them go down just so I could laugh and cheer for months on end. But that's not the reason I've advocated (and signed petitions, and written to Congress) for impeachment. Like many other Americans I am appalled at how our Constitution has been compromised and flouted by this Administration. I know citizens around the world are appalled at what America is becoming, but what they don't share with us is the sense of betrayal we feel here as our most sacred document is being pissed on.

So just for the record, since I have been challenged on this: THE NEO-CON AGENDA FOISTED ON THE AMERICAN PEOPLE BY THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION IS NOT BEING PERPETRATED IN MY NAME WITH MY CONSENT. I WHOLEHEARTEDLY REJECT THIS ADMINISTRATION'S CLAIM TO VALIDITY. OUR ONCE GREAT COUNTRY HAS BEEN USURPED BY A TRAITOROUS ENEMY FROM WITHIN.
