Bush Stands Behind Alberto Gonzales, So What's New?

    The Liar in Chief said today that he is very upset with misleading explanations given to the Congress by the Justice Department which has been trying to explain why it fired the eight US attorneys and then expected the A.G. to fix it.

   Bush did say that he was standing behind Alberto Gonzales amid calls for his resignation.

"Any time anybody goes up to Capitol Hill, they've got to make sure they fully understand the facts and how they characterize the issue to members of Congress," Bush said. "And the fact that both Republicans and Democrats feel like that there was not straightforward communication troubles me and it troubles the attorney general. So he took action, and he needs to continue to take action."

The president called the actual firings "entirely appropriate" and noted that U.S attorneys serve at his pleasure. "Past administrations have removed U.S. attorneys. It's their right to do so," Bush said.

   Have you ever noticed how President Bush stands behind those who get caught doing things which appear or are not quite right? I would say that is because some of those fine, upstanding government officials such as Gonzales may have a little bit of dirt on El Presidente that Bush would rather stay hid.

   I wonder how many other White House officials are buying land down in South America right about now? Maybe that's the real reason Bush is visiting so many countries south of the United States which do not like him. Shopping for the brethren?
