Gonzales Stuns Colleagues: "I Work For The White House, You Work For The White House"

"I work for the White House, you work for the White House"

In an interview today with The Seattle Times, fired U.S. Attorney John McKay recalls this:




Alberto Gonzales - Confirmation Hearing
January 6, 2005

"With the consent of the Senate, I will no longer represent only the White House;
I will represent the United States of America and its people.
I understand the differences between the two roles."

the whole lot of them need to be guillotined after conviction.

...and giving them life there?

they keep Alcatraz open to tourists and let the tourists spit and (use your imagination) on them.

...they serve delicious orange chicken and rice. He doesn't
deserve that.

:eyes:

their food is heated.... Electrobes are placed on the prisoner while he holds his plate of food and then the electricity is turned on... Kills two birds with one stone, torture and practicality....

:sarcasm:

What night is that the special?

Oh, and send them to Abu Ghraib, and then turn it over to the Iraqis. I'm sure they will treat them well. We could even install 24 hour video cameras just to make sure. Should be an interesting channel to watch on cable.

I just had to say it (giggle)

Will you be here all week? Should I try the borscht?
:hi:

It's in the North Sea - they ground it all to powder to prevent it from becoming a neo-Nazi shrine. Too bad, we could use it.

compromise, let's support ole Bush on this one, just this once. In honor of his tireless support and faithful use of the death penalty:

Impeach, Indict, Imprison, Execute.

Let's just bury them alive and let Jay-sus save them. That should be ok with them as they have so much faith.

mon brave!

:think:

baskets of rotten fruit. You know the rest.

These people all must go before they do any further damage to the Constitution

:mad:

tells them they are the LEADERS and we the people are the indentured servents of the government. How else can you explain that ideal that after paying for every government program or parents and grand parents who paid into those programs and never used any of those programs they payed for, your not entitled to use these programs you paid for but people who never paid a dime in taxes because of off shore banking, tax give aways and tax loop holes, ( my favorite one is the one that you give a charity money you then can get a government refund for that charity money you spent, which the rich have used to get out of paying any taxes by giving to charity the exact amount that they would have paid on their taxes)are entitled to use programs that the rest of us pay into. Things that make you want to say DOH over.

go to pay down the debt and Japan owns a lot of the Public Debt.

You see, we are a Debtor Nation, we have to borrow money all the time.

Other countries own that debt and keep buying more, gee, I wonder why? So does that mean that other countries really pays their salary...so wouldn't that make them all employees of...the other countries :shrug:

I've been thinking about that testimony quite a bit lately. I remember his disingenuous assurances all too well. What utter contempt he must have for Congress, the Constitution, and the American people.

In a legitimate government that rule would apply. In a sham, crime organization it isn't even open for debate.

These Neocons need to be excommunicated, stripped of citizenship, have their bank accounts siezed and nationalized, have their properties taken by the feds and sold at auction. Give all the proceeds to whomever, I don't care, even to the RNC if it gets the job done.

FUCK TRIALS - COURTS - JAILS

Just remove them from our country as quickly as possible please dump them off in China / India / Brazil

The only thing Neocons respect / understand as punishment is being treated worse than they treat others.

That truly IS the only thing that gets through to them.

:kick:

How can we ever have legitimacy in our own eyes let alone the world's if we just ship these guys off to Paraquay (or where ever)? They need to be held accountable for their actions just like everyone else.

I wager the numbers will be the same in 3 years.

The only thing Neocons respect / understand as punishment is being treated worse than they treat others.

"Tax the Rich, then F*ck them, then Kill them"
saw it on a bumper sticker.

Its an insult to the Rich to equivocate them with Neocons

SEPARATION OF POWERS?

Separate Bodies of Government?

EXECUTIVE

CONGRESS

JUDICIARY

ALL SEPARATE FROM EACH OTHER!

We need to make a strong example of these people. Make future leaders think twice before they attempt to totally subvert the U.S. Constitution.

if asked to explain what he meant by that speech? Besides "I do not recall".

Course, I think we all know that it's true.

I'd love to see that question put to him under oath. Problem is finding others to come forward to corroborate. Hopefully some will. What an asshole.

You know I was (along with you guys) ranting about this years (yes YEARS! that's why we are so weary) ago. The hubsand used to think I was WAY over the top. Now he agrees that it IS that bad. How can we fumigate these leeches?

it may as well be a dictatorship, be it a "lite" version, but a dictatorship none-the-less.

Without separation of powers and checks & balances, there is no democracy.

Who is in charge here. Big biz and their $$ BILLIONS $$

dollars each year to lobby Congress and federal agencies. Some special interests retain lobbying firms, many of them located along Washington's legendary K Street; others have lobbyists working in-house. We've got totals spent on lobbying, beginning in 1998, for everyone from AAI Corp. to Zurich Financial.

which side his bread is buttered on.. how's that workin' out for ya, dipshit?

offenses -- ???

This is a crime family, pure and simple.

Jail the lot, impound every nickel they own and throw away the keys. None of these evil asshats should ever see the light of day again.

Yes, U.S. attorneys, I'm talking to you. Woulda been nice to hear about this at the time.

Gonzales was a bush crony from day one, I guess he doesn't care who knows it.

ahhh, such a wonderful scent.

but why the hell didn't any of the attorneys in attendance, who heard him say this, say anything, how could they sit quiet and not contact someone about this? He violates his oath when he "represents only the WH".

For the love of god, how many people have sat quiet and kept their jobs to the detriment of our nation, their silence is as responsible for the hundreds of thousands of deaths under this regime as is the folks in the house they "work for".

:grr:

Heaven help us......or maybe some journalists could act responsibly... now that the cat is out of the bag.

every man for himself, why don't they just come out and say they want a dictatorship many of us can see this already, many have hinted at it by saying "this is not a monarchy" or "he is not a King" what is it with these people, are they (Congress) trying to shield the American people from the truth, this is what is exactly happening, I bet they are saying it behind closed doors. Hey, we have been several steps ahead of our own Congress, we are not children you know!!!!

How does that phrase grab ya?

many have sat on their hands. Well, Tenet for sure and even Carl Levin, who said from what he learned in the Intelligence Committee that there wasn't evidence to go to war thus his "No" vote. I know the Intelligence community can't talk but.............when war is the consequence it's time to resign and be a patriot. :grr:

Conyers strong rebuke of the protestor should put to rest the Republicans constant whining about partisanship.

What is the matter with Congress?! Although...I already know the answer! :banghead:

NOW!

WHAT MORE DO THEY NEED that constitutes IMPEACHABLE OFFENSES??????????

Forcryingoutloud, WHAT MORE DO THEY NEED????

K Street. Pay to play. Greed. I've got mine, screw you. That's why these guys are so bad at governing - national service was never a priority with them. Crooks and cronies. Jeebus. Where's our representation? Hello? Impeach the crime family already. The nation is not going to survive if this goes unchallenged.

... he was just adding to his role.

I will no longer represent only the White House;

YOU WORK FOR US!!! AND NOT THE PRESIDENT YOU BASTARD!

Talk about a brainwashed moron. Seems a majority of people on the hill have lost sight as to why exactly they are there and whom they work for.

How sad for the country that our Attorney General couldn't even see how wrong he was.
