<DIV>I watched as much as I could stand of the Alberto Gonzales confirmation hearing this morning. I used to think that John Ashcroft was as bad an attorney general as the U.S. could stand, I now realize that I was wrong. Ashcroft was a simple-minded, uninspired loyalist whose ass belonged to Rumsfelt, Cheney etc. and who was rewarded for doing what he was told. The intellectual equivalent of Jethro Bodine. Dangerous perhaps, but mostly just stupid. Gonzales is a whole new kettle of fish - he's smart, and after listening to his testimony this a.m. is clearly morally bankrupt. </DIV>

<DIV>This man isn't fit to be a grade school principal - I take that back, he could serve on the spanking brigade at Logos - but of course, based on his prior career experience, it is more likely that he would serve as their legal counsel and craft a legal opinion on why it is okay to physically abuse children to order to *teach* them a lesson. </DIV>

<DIV>I am sickened by this nomination, and sickened by the partisan support this evil man is receiving. </DIV>
