AG for AG continued
Steve Soto loves the choice of Alberto Gonzales for Attorney General...
as one that could potentially blow up in Bush's face any number of times:
As one example, commenter TR points out Gonzales’ flagrant withholding of pertinent information from then-Governor Bush in scores of death penalty cases while he and W were executing folks right and left. Does the GOP really want to force its moral values base to confront its support for the death penalty while claiming to be good Christians, especially if the nominee participated in such deviousness?
Second, what would Gonzales’ confirmation as AG do to the Plame investigation, given that he has already been dragged in to testify?
Third, while serving as a justice of the Texas Supreme Court, Gonzales took money from firms with litigation pending before his court, including Halliburton.
Also, guess who helped W escape jury duty in Texas while governor so that he wouldn’t be forced to reveal his 1970’s DUI years before a White House run? Claim a prize if you answered the nominee, from the moral values administration.
