AbuG Sings Gabriel

Deciding to follow in John "Let the Eagle Soar" Ashcroft's footsteps, Al Gonzales takes his first song from Peter Gabriel:

I don't remember, I don't recall
I got no memory of anything at all
I don't remember, I don't recall
I got no memory of anything
-anything at all

Strange is your language and I have no decoder
Why don't you make your inentions clear
With eyes to the sun and your mouth to the soda
Saying, "Tell me the truth, you got nothing to fear
Stop staring at me like a bird of prey
I'm all mixed up, I got nothing to say
I don't remember
I don't remember

I don't remember, I don't recall
I got no memory of anything at all
I don't remember, I don't recall
I got no memory of anything
Anything at all

I don't remember, I don't recall
I got no memory of anything at all
I don't remember, I don't recall
i got no memory of anything
absolutely anything at all
I don't remember

Meaningless Political Acts

Sens. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) and Charles Schumer (D-NY) have called on the Senate to hold a no-confidence vote on Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, hoping it will prompt Gonzales to resign. The White House quickly derided the vote, calling it “nothing more than a meaningless political act.” And aWol knows a thing or two about Meaningless Political Acts:

He's made them in Jackson Square, New Orleans;

in "Iraq" with a fake turkey;

and onboard an aircraft carrier.

At least six Senate Republicans have now called on Gonzales to resign. Sen. Arlen Specter (R-PA) on Sunday said he believes support for the no confidence vote is “very substantial,” and that if Gonzales “sees that coming, that he would prefer to avoid that kind of an historical black mark.”

"He's our No. 1 crimefighter"

--White House spokesperson Dana Perino on Alberto Gonzales Friday.

The Comedy Stylings of Al Gonzales, Part III

Senate Testimony Edition:


"I recall making the decision, I [just] don’t recall when the decision was made."


"As someone who grew up in a poor neighborhood, I'm sensitive to the plight of minorities and the poor with respect to the right to vote. I don't want prosecutions to have a 'chilling effect' or that would discourage minorities from voting. Except when a Republican might lose an election."



"I'm not really aware of what input, advice and views went into compiling the list of fired US Attorneys. But I fired the US Attorneys based on that list. I'm certain no improper motives went into the compilation of the list. Even though I'm not aware of how the list was assembled. Or why different people's names were put on it."

"The Geneva Conventions. What's up with that? Why's everybody worried about some quaint, outdated and obsolete treaties? Doesn't the country have more important things to deal with, like top-rated U.S. Attorneys who are incompetent?"
