The Gonzo Eight


Kyle Sampson meet Scooter Libby, seems you both have some things in common.


Poor Kyle, the latest frat boy fall guy, dumped, after as it turns out, as the former chief of staff to Alberto Gonzales, he played a role in the federal prosecutor firings. And of course we all know who Scooter is, he is cooling his heels right about now, before (unless the frat boy pardons him) he does a 5-10 stretch in club fed some damn where.


"Federal prosecutors are supposed to be the bed-rock neutral servants of the law, not temporary tools in the service of some political end" Thank you for that little gem Mr. Schumer, but I think you more than anyone should know, that when we are dealing with the frat boy, all rules of decency and fairness flies out the window.


But I have to give it to the frat boy, he is standing by his peeps. He is not going to feed them to the sharks. After all, they would be under oath, and....well... you know what happens to the frat boy's people when they are under oath. (Sorry Scooter) The dems smell blood in the water, and now they want Karl Rove, Harriet Miers, and William Kelley. But the frat boy ain't budging, so it looks like we are heading for a show down.


"If they issue subpoenas, yes the offer is withdrawn" So says Tony Snowjob, the former FAKE NEWS host turned Presidential mouth piece about the latest dust up. It seems the frat boy made an offer that the dems had to refuse. Karl and Harriet will come down and talk, but no subpoenas, no oath, and no transcripts. Gee frat boy, why didn't you just go to the White House door, pull your pants down, and give the dems your ass to kiss?


I still can't figure out what the frat boy and his peeps have to hide. They have every right to choose their political appointments, and the federal prosecutors serve at the President's wishes. (I know I know Fox News, Clinton fired all 93) And like Clinton, the frat boy had every right to fire as much of these federal prosecutors as he wanted. But like with everything else with this administration, it was done nefariously. "At this juncture people have hazy memories" Why fire just these eight, and then lie that it was because of poor job performance? Well it seems that they were all not aggressive enough in their prosecution of alleged democratic voter fraud (Do you see the rich irony here, a man who came to power because of voter fraud and a rigged election, now wants to make sure that his opponents don't do the same thing?) Apparently, the frat boy himself spoke to Gonzalez about getting rid of some of these prosecutors, and Gonzo made sure that the job got done. The problem is, like everything else old Gonzo touches, he f****d up the job. (Think of the illegal collection of personal data by the FBI, it was Gonzo's job to make sure that didn't get f****d up either, and you see what happened with that)


So now the frat boy is up to his cowboy boots in another scandal; and the stone walling,spinning, and the Fox propaganda machine is in full force. The rabid 30% of those people in this country who are Bush apologist will spend the next few months telling us Clinton did the same thing, and that nothing wrong was done. The frat boy could choke a baby to death in front of them and it would be OK. "That child was hiding weapons of mass destruction,he had to go" So here we go again, it's like ground hog day with this f*****g administration with no end in sight.


"After two months of stonewalling,shifting stories and misleading testimony, it is clear that we are still not getting the truth about the decision to fire these prosecutors and its cover-up"

How many times have we heard from these right wing tools "If you don't have anything to hide, thenanswer the question/waive the privilege/an innocent person needs no protection?" From brothers claiming some sort of 4th Amendment defense in a trial, to Bill Clinton. My God when is someone going to have he balls and plain audacity like you see on these twisted blogs, radio shows, and Fox News to just blast these m-fs? Obama must have a bunch of wusses advising him, or maybe the brother just is a lightweight. I knew his wife from Princeton and that might be the case. Hillary? Please. Edwards is just Obama in whiteface. Even McCain would have shouted and blasted these fools in his own party 5 years ago, but now he's sold out and become a born again wanker. Lord Field, I guess it'sjust you and me and Bill Mahr. We all love sistas, though. Damn, Bill especially...he's into those thick nasty porn star type black women...

I love this story. Coming on the heels of Scooter's conviction and Valerie Plame Wilson's testimony before the Senate, this is just too sweet. This Bush administration is a pack of white collar street thugs. I look forward to Karl Rove going to jail for something. Anything. I'd settle for a conviction against him for being fat, bald, and butt ugly.

Someone should sell t-shirts with Bush's face on it and the phrase, "Come on chickens...come on home to roost."

And I agree with Anonymous about Rove. He looks totally greasy and untrustworthy. (Where are those Queer Eye dudes when you need them?)

i love the movie of the day!

and yes, what will it take for all those people who love america so much that they are willing to run for president to show that love

by calling out this latest travesty?

Someone suggested elsewhere that a special prosecutor should be appointed. That would be absolutely the WORST possible thing, since a special prosecutor appointed by the Bush Administraton would hermetically seal this scandal within the grand jury until after the 2008 elections, a la Fitzgerald.

Instead, we need for our Democratic Congress, with their reciprocically partisan instincts, to ream this administration five new exit holes and let all the bile out.

Now, if they would appoint Field Negro as special prosecutor then, of course, I would endorse that. Nobody does it better! Field, please send your resume to John Conyers just in case!

Yet another person to take the fall. A lot of people are nervous right about now. It is nice to see the tables turned. What are they hiding, they are innocent right?
