Gonzales Confirmed

February 3rd, 2005 at 10:55 pm by Preston Taylor Holmes

You have to hand it to President Junior, he found an AG candidate that the left hates almost as much as they did Ashcroft.

And that much-vilified candidate, Alberto Gonzales, was confirmed today by a vote of 60-36. I hope we can ramrod new SCOTUS nominees as easily as we crammed Rice & Gonzales down their throats.

The usual cast of characters got their panties in a wad.

Senator Edward M. Kennedy, the Massachusetts Democrat who has been one of Mr. Gonzales’s toughest critics, said it was “a sad day for the Senate” to confirm “a person who was at the heart of the policy on torture that has so shamed America in the eyes of the whole world and has so flagrantly violated the values we preach to the world.”

The only thing we’re ashamed of, Senator, is your drunken, bloated, traitorous, pock-marked ass.

“We need to find our way back to the moral high ground,” Senator Patrick J. Leahy of Vermont, the senior Democrat on the Judiciary Committee, said in opposing Mr. Gonzales’s nomination.

Shortly after Leahy made these comments he slipped out of the Committee Chambers and delivered classified documents to a group of foreigners in exchange for a couple of bowls of chili from a nearby Wendy’s.

I don’t know much about AG Gonzales myself, but I do like his approach to the Geneva Convention in regard to the War on Terror.

Xinhua: He wrote in a memorandum dated January 2002 that the Geneva Conventions did not apply to fighters captured in Afghanistan. He was also believed to intervene in the formation of a much-debated Justice Department memorandum on Aug. 1, 2002, which concluded that interrogators had great leeway to question detainees using coercive techniques.

He’s right. The Geneva Convention does not apply in the War on Terror. The other side does not adhere to any of its rules, and consequently, we are not bound by them either. If we plan to take the “high moral ground” against these sub-human shitsacks, we’re going to lose and lose big. It appears that Gonzales knows this, or at least these statements imply that he might.

    But Glen, those lovable scamps are merely insurgents. They’re only freedom fighters and rebels. The international community might frown if we make these resistance fighters uncomfortable. And we want to turn their frowns upside down, don’t we?

    One the one hand, we really should put ourselves above the quasi-thuggery that is smearing fake menstrual blood on terrorists…

    …but on the other hand, F the high road.

    The Donks are mad because he gave good legal advice instead of their legal advice.
