Who's Who
Firings Firestorm
Justice Department at center of controversy over firing of eight U.S. attorneys.
"When the photographer was getting everybody set up and having people say 'cheese,' the protesters yelled: 'say torture, instead,' 'resign' and 'I don't recall,"' said Nate Ela, a protester and third-year student.
Law school spokesman Mike Armini said the impromptu protest Saturday was so small that some of those attending the photo shoot did not notice it.
Ela said the protesters followed Gonzales into the law school's library, chanting "shame" and "resign," before the attorney general's security detail took him to his motorcade.
Gonzales was at the university to deliver a lunchtime speech, a visit that was unannounced to students. But word spread quickly after his motorcade and security detail were spotted.
"The departure was clearly undignified," said Thomas Becker, a second-year law student who wore the black hood and orange jumpsuit during the protest. "He looked really annoyed."
A Department of Justice spokesman did not immediately return a call seeking comment.
Gonzales is resisting pressure to resign as lawmakers question whether he could effectively run the Justice Department amid the controversy over the firings of eight prosecutors.

I'm gaining hope our young people may not be as gullible as those that grew up in more peaceful times and never learned the price we pay for putting our country on autopilot.
OVERSIGHT and active involvement may yet save our Constitution.

Oh yeah right LOL, it was SOOOO small a protest that not even those in the photo shoot noticed, but it makes front page stories on CBS news right?
No one noticed the news photographer covering that aspect too I guess, Mike is another Bush lover who spins the minimization tale for damage control.
But WE all know better don't we children? A protest makes CBS news, and a google search in the "news" tab for "gonzales" brings up over 233 news articles related to the headline on line one of the results there of;

Give credit to the man who actually freed Russia from communism - Pope John Paul II...and stop trying to edit history like the Republishit Party taught you to do.
What are you saying that Gonzo didn't lie to Congress? or that he didn't provide the immoral legal opinions that helped authorize torture of Prisoners?? or that he didn't break US law by using email unauthorized channels to communicate with the White House???
Given the state of his memory function today, if he wasn't lying to Congress, he wouldn't be able to get W out of jury duty to keep his criminal record under wraps, today.

And perception5 is calling Harvard liberal. Heck, Dubya got his MBA from their too. But then again Dubya is not a conservative either - just a dangerous bozo.
These deadly pirates are running out of places to hide!
"Gonzales was at the university to deliver a lunchtime speech, a visit that was unannounced to students."
The Attorney General of the US visiting his old alma mater for a class reunion is kept secret?
This is the most corrupt administration in American history. As evidenced by the fact the entire administration must hide from the public it claims to be serving.

Every American should see the Moyers report
from last week, documenting how our "liberal"
press totally rubberstamped him on Iraq and
failed their mission of true information.
You can watch it on your computer;

You won't be getting up once you start into it,
it's riveting. Pass the link on please -

MOST people does not mean the Republican base--as far as I know--they are the only people to give Reagan that honor and accolade. MOST people (Meaning all the rest except for the GOP) credit good ol' capitalism working its magic and influencing the collapse of the Soviet Union as well as the about face we saw in Vietnam--as for Reagan--lucky him--he happened to be President when it all happened--but he did not cause it any more than Katrina was caused by George Bush or the cold war was caused by Roosevelt. Global Things happen--smart people realize that often, those in charge have very little to do with those things when it involves complex social dynamics. But just so you feel better, you can name specifically, what Reagan did or said that caused the Soviet Union to collapse.
Good luck with that.
Republicans particularly will not protest this special tax which will continue as long as the war is being fought in Iraq and will NOT increase our deficit since it will be coming out of each of our pockets each year until the war ends. Let's see...how much would that be--to really show we are willing to sacrifice for the troops? 2500.00/year per family? or should it be more if we make more...How about a 10% increase above the 2.5K for everyone making over 35K/year? A hardship? Sure--but as every American knows--war is hell and we all must do our part--plus we don't want a debt from a war of choice on our children now do we? Please feel free to forward this to your Congressmen and ask that it be introduced as a bill. Then we will see, if having a war and sacrificing for it is really what Americans want to do--or if it is only something they want others to do for them.
Reagan didn't bring down Communism, Communism brought itself down and Gorbachev and Yeltzen were the catalyst. Reagan just took credit for it like he did everything.
In contrast, Bush has the interests of himself and his friends at heart, and is a barely articulate national embarrassment every time he opens his mouth. He has failed at every endeavor in his life, reserving the worst disaster for the most important job - his sham of a presidency.
I say "sham" because the only way in which anything his administration has done makes sense is if you look at his entire term as an ongoing robbery of the nation on a grand scale. He has damaged the economy, the environment, our international relations, our educational system ... you name it, he's hurt it. The only people who have profited are those fat cats he refers to as "his people".
And yet somehow, some non-billionaires continue to support him. Such blind stupidity beggars explanation, frankly; only near-retardation or totally delusional thinking can make Bush look like a good president.

Where I didn't care for him was the contra hearings, he didn't even know his own name.
Just like everybody in this administration they forgot or I don't know or I can't recall.
Everytime Bush compares himself to Lincoln, Churchill or Reagan all three of them collectively groan and turn over in their graves.
