  • shut the fuck up. just leave

  • I don't recall resigning.

  • What a fascist pig scumbag! He should be sent to Gitmo! FUCK YOU GONZALES, FUCK YOU BUSH, FUCK YOU NEW WORLD ORDER

  • Why has no one asked Gonzales about his work at Vinson & Elkins law firm in Houston on the ENRON CORP account where he showed the CONVICTED FELON Ken Lay how to circumnavigate the regulatory laws on honest accounting. Maybe he should be WATERBOARDED until he confesses to his direct involvement with the largest corporate corruption in the history of mankind.

  • What an absolute disgrace of a man

  • Q: "Why are you leaving?"

    A: (should have been) 'Because I'm a lying little crook, I've committed many treasonous crimes against America and if I resign now with a pardon from my master (Bush) I will avoid prosecution and imprisonment or possible execution for my criminal activities and my cover-ups... besides, I was never qualified to hold such a position in the first place and was only given the job because I kept secrets and lied well under oath.'

  • The punk runs away without saying 'I resign.' Just HIS decision to conclude. A coward and a tool.

  • Gonzales and Obama are the same. wow!

    They both lie. Only good thing about Gonzales is, he was actually born in America.

  • Here is an attorney who does not understand international law principle of Extraterritoriality where USA Embassies & Military Bases, on foriegn soil are the sovereign territory of the USA by Treaty.

    Yet, this moron issues a AG decision that is 100% opposite that GTMO is not part of the USA; nor does USA law apply to it.

    He proposes that GTMO is a fiefdom of territory of the Executive Department with the USA miltiary as his monarchial military.

  • This guy is responsible for destroying american lives ,, everything turned out opposite of what this worm tongue spoken. He uses Gods name in vain ,, these are the true evil doers.

  • he resigned since he knew Bush would pardon him before he leaves office. the name dept of justice can nolonger be applied to that dept. like all parts of the government under Bush it's been corrupted.

  • That the rights and civil liberties of our citizens are protected.

    Did he really say that?.. What a fucking liar.

  • AHAHHAHAA the audience started screamin "WHY r u leaving"!

  • bla bla bla, so you lied like all get out. you give up your position but no jail time for lying to U.S. YOU ARE A PIN HEAD.

  • Congratulations to Steven William was killed himself in jail because he had prosecuted by him for marjuana charge by federal law supercedes California that allow it for his medical purposes. Steven is now in heaven!

    Gonzales pissed off at God because he is already in the Heaven with the Lord. God bless to Steven! Fuck Gonzales!

  • This man in only a piece of shit, but this man should be deported from this country for leading the fight with G.W. and Chen ey of denying our constitutional rights and human rights. Janet Reno was terrible as AG, but she was WAY BETTER THAN Gonzales.

  • what a crook!

  • @pinchememofeo This has been flagged as spam show hide

    Not Spam

    ITS SAD TO SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE LOST......Its all about Misleading/Deceiving & to Con. Being a victim is what is creating hatred. Dont let "THOSE" politician fool you...I wish the best for you and hope you are doing Great!! Truly reading the Bible can make you see whats Truth! (called wisdom) IM PROUD OF ALBERTO FOR NOT GIVING IN & SNOOPIN TO THEIR LEVEL TO LIE.....Take Care

  • What a cock-a-roach!

    Gonzales spits in all of our general directions!

  • why does he sound like a white guy he's fucking mexican. you can speak proper english without putting on some phony white boy accent.

  • Settle down now...behave!

  • Settle down now...behave!

  • little sellout shit.

  • later bitch!

    fuckin lying trash

  • It's about time you quit you stink'in lying cocksucka.

  • hahahahaha

    The only thing Gonzales believes in is satanic blood orgies; and murdering baby seals.

  • and so goes yet another member of Bush's administration who have all resigned into the bleak pages of historic disgrace. all found guilty of carring out illegal orders given them by a President they believed in, and paid the ultimate price for failing to protect.

  • I guess the next stop is Dubai...where that great AMERICAN corporation Haliburton moved to...out of the UNITED STATES?...They are always looking for dubious lawyers.

  • adios!

  • Yeah right! You guys are hypocrites, and you love Al Queda. TRAITORS

  • How are we hypocrites, what would make you think we love AQ, and why does having a different point of view make us traitors?

  • Aren't you the ones that say are troops are murders and sometimes you support our troops, well if you suppor the troops, then you support the commander and chief! Aren't you the guys that say were losing, and are ready to indict al queda lol! If you don't support Al Queda, you sure help them out! Bush lied people died! Why hasen't there been another attack since 9-11! Thanks W

  • Supporting the troops does not mean supporting the Prez. Supporting the troops means being empathetic to the fact that many of them are fighting a war that they themselves do not support but have to because of a contractual obligation. Supporting the troops means looking out for their wellbeing when you are willing to sell them out as pawns in an unneccesary war.

  • We are losing 1)respect in the world community, 2)diplomatic allies, and 3) a war that there is no forced resolution to. Our president's decisons have been bad on both the foreign and domestic front. We do not support AQ, we support the american people who have lost their voice due to the politics being played in this country.

  • Hitley voted for the war, so did the other Anti Americans! The world changed after 9-11, guess you would rather us sit back and get hit again! You'd be the 1st one that Al Queda would behead, cause your WEAK!!

  • No, I would rather the administration go after AQ than waste their time in Iraq. The attack on the US is not coming from Iraq, the leaders of AQ are smart enough to go where they are safer. And I am hardly worried about being beheaded, tell me why you fear being beheaded, and why you felt the need to inject it into the conversation.

  • If we left Iraq, the war would come here. The reason we went to Iraq cause after 911 it changed the world including our foreign policy. Like I said if Missouri or Arizona would've been nuked with a suitcase bomb, everyone would be saying you knew Saddam was a bad guy, why didn't you do anything. You can't have your cake and eat it to. Same one bitching now, would be bitching if Bush did nothing.

  • yeah and Santa Claus exists...

  • Welcome to the US, karmic payback time!!!!

  • It's a volunterr militay, so yes they support the war. Your just a bush hater, Al Queda loves you all, listen to what they say, it all most mirrors what you and your elk on the left say. If the enemy was saying what I'm saying, I'm rethinking what I say!

  • I know it is a volunteer military, but when I joined I didn't join as a vote of confidence in every proposed war. Are you really that deluded to think that military members don't think for themselves?  As a veteran I can guarantee you are wrong, there are plenty of Democrats, liberals, and progressives in the military who do not agree with the current policy on Iraq.

  • I'm sure there are, but there are many just as well that believe were doing the right thing, I'm willing to bet there are more that support it then oppose it. Schumer and Reid are Traitors, bashing our military. Does that make you feel good, it sure makes Al Queda feel good, hearing elected officals, say were losing, and calling Bush a loser. If you support that your rooting for the enemy, just to gain political power. I'm conservitive, but I put my country first. Can you say the same

  • They are not traitors, you are by implying that a terrorist group should decide who I vote for. So I suppose if Bin Laden came out saying he wanted the Republicans to win, then you would vote Democrat? We are losing not winning, most of the congress can see that fact. Bush is a loser, his foreign and domestic policies are askew.

  • Our economy is in the tank, the world sees us as cowboys, the middle class is going downhill fast, the housing market stinks, gas prices continue to be high because of the war. My vote has nothing to do with political power, it has to do with taking care of our country first.

  • Barney Frank, Kennedy Clinton, both of them, Jerfferson Boxer Reid! They're some real class acts! Believe they're all dems! HYPOCRITS

  • Good riddance. Maybe if we just got rid of the whole Bush administration in one fell swoop they wouldn't have to resign one by one as they A) were exposed as liars who are playing politics all the time instead of looking out for the country. or B) taking the fall for someone higher up, and ultimately Bush himself.

  • Yes, he's taking the fall for Bush. What a conspiracy; I bet your one of those people who thinks the Governments always out to get you.

  • You would lose that bet, there is no conspiracy really in this case. He just became tangled in a web of lies and was blatently exposed as corrupt unlike Tenet, & Rummy who looked like fall guys to me.

  • Id like to point out that many, many Americans are horrified at the Bush Admin and we would like to see him impeached. America needs a leader with a desire to interact cooperatively and synergistically with the entire global community.

  • fascist lol.

    About damn time he resigned

  • Gonzales fired 8 U.S. Attorneys

    Reno fired 93 U.S. Attorneys

    Gonzales killed 0 people

    Reno killed 80 people

    Long live Hillary!!!!!???????

  • Are you forgetting some additional facts there? Mainly that Gonzo fired 8 attorneys during Bush's second term. Wheras Reno's firing were during Clinton's first term.(which by the way is a common thing). Do yourself a favor and think for yourself, because dem and rep talking points are just lies.

  • Reno could also probably recall the reasons why behind the attorneys she fired. And then you jump to Hillary???  Totally incoherent rambling does not an argument make.

  • Attorneys serve at the pleasure of the president, so they can be fired at anytime and for no reason at all. Hitlery accepted illegal contributions from a fugitive. When you have no morals and values, guess you can let Clinton and Clinton Kennedy Byrd Reid Boxer Jefferson, all be crooks!

  • LOL, the illegal contributions from a fugitive are laughable. How was she to know he was a fugitive? You are so eager to demonize that you totally take a story and twist it to fit your warped bias. And let's not talk about crooks, I think the Bushies who have had to go to jail or resign for their misconduct is telling in and of itself.

  • What Bushes resigned, your just trying to slander their family. The Kennedys are the most corrupt family there is! Tell me what have the Bush's done! Trust me HITLERY knew she was taking money illegally, it runs with the Clintons! Remember Tree and the others!

  • Bushies.. You know, Rumsfeld, Rove, Gonzales, Ashcroft, Wolfowitz, etc... And why should I trust you, you obviously can't even have a conversation without calling people you do not agree with names. How childish is that?

  • No your incorrect, I say what your side represents, which is not supporting the troops, or the president, and saying the same things Al Queda does. All them so called Bushies resigned cause that's what your boys wanted, seems to be instead of bogging the president down with investigations, for any little thing, I even think Lehey is investigating Gonzales, to see if he illegally resigned. Seems instead of the investigations, we could be doing more productive things!

  • His voice is tremendously annoying. Sounds like he looks: like a prick.

  • Comment was to gimptron2001.

  • What I find funny is that the dems all ways needs a good republican to attack and get fired first rums,rove and others and now him.I wonder whos next for the dems politcal agenda to get fired may be condi.

  • He done nothing wrong.

  • The grammatically correct statement would be, "He DID nothing wrong". And you are right, he did nothing wrong, he was just incompetent and "couldn't recall" what he did in the first place, right?

  • I only hope that congress will pursue the reasons behind the firings and cases in which the justice system was being obviously politicized. This "retirement" (Let's see what cush job Al ends up with in about five years)looks to be nothing but damage control. But then again, I'd better watch what I say. This could all be going into some database at the pentagon.

  • Mr. Gozalez your resignation is wef. September 17th-2007 ~ ~ ~ Why not to tell the truth about September 11th before you go?

    That will be a great service to America and humanity:)

  • What the fun, No more congress testifying?

    I don't think he will be absolved from the wrong doings during his Attorny General Tenure.

    Some not so nice, gentleman should take him to the court.

    I don't think people who resigned, should deserve let it go?

  • Bush and Cheney used him to go around laws to manipulate info and abuse their power. Bush owes Gonzo a public apology for taking advantage of a man who wasn't capable of this job. Gonzo still needs to be punished because he knew what they were doing.

  • The wrong people are being forced to resign under preasure here. This is nothing more than another Democratic power play. This all goes back to Pelosi, Harman and two AIPAC lobbyists who pushed for Harman on the intelligence commitee. In other words don't fuck with 'our' elite or well go after yours....Bush.

    Expect more of these tit-for-tat shennanigans up until 2008 election.

  • "The United States was supposed to have a limited government because the founders knew governmental power attracts swarms of crooks, demagogues and despots as surely as horse manure attracts swarms of horseflies."

  • 'heck of a job Brownie"

  • why is he leaving? no comment. A number of reasons.

  • He's too proud of what he's done. The pride and honor is unbarable I guess... Oh wait he's a shmuck.

  • Hasta la vista corrupt Beaner... Good Riddance!

    Time to bring Our government back under the control of, by, and for We The People.

    Ron Paul for President 08 - For The Salvation Of We The People's America.

  • Poor Guy. This is what happens when democrats have power.

    The Dems will shit on and destroy anything in their path to the presidency even if it was not warranted. Thank You Al for firing our piece of shit Attorney.

  • Gonzales isn't an evil guy. He cares a lot about what he believes in. The rule of law is the rule of law, though. If forgetfulness can be used to avoid admitting anything to boards of oversight without consequences, then our boards of oversight are useless. So he had to go.

  • WoW - It's truly sad people like yourself are easily brainwashed. His exit is a wonderful move towards improving America.

  • You are the only one who is brainwashed. His departure just demonstrates which party practices the politics of personal destruction. He has done nothing but protect Americans in a time of real danger. His flaw was being "too nice" to Democrats. He should have told them all to take a hike. Kennedy, Clinton, and lot of them are all hypocrites of the first order.

  • What are you talking about? He wasn't forced out of office for protecting Americans, he was forced out because he used the Justice Department for partisan political purposes and then refused to admit it - or admit anything. America has three co-equal branches of government. You can't openly defy one of them and claim to be a defender of democracy.

  • this guy is completely souless

  • Republicans are War Losers! Atleast Clinton won his war! Lets get him back in there to WIN AGAIN! :)

  • Is the best we can hope for just a return to America as it was 8 years ago? Turning the clock back never works, whether you like the past or not. Why don't we elect someone who has ideas for tomorrow, instead of a candidate who pretends she can pick up the job and pretend it's 2001?

  • A vote for Hillary is to expand upon NAFTA. If you want war with Iran, and you want America to continue acting like the policeman of the world for the benefit of the Military Industrial Congressional Complex, with continued unhealthy un-American foreign entanglements, do vote for Hillary and watch as Our Middle Class jobs get offshored quicker than ever, while illegals overrun We The People's America through Amnesty proposals pushed by Slithery Hillary and others.

  • It's odd when you're in another country, listening to Americans first equate Un-American to Immorality, then equate it to anything foreign. The train of logic is that Americans think all foreigners are immoral. Be a humane human being first, and put your nation, patriotism and predjudice second.

  • bye bye!!

  • democrats only want whitss in office

  • did you come up with that all on your own? good job! that was so insightful!

  • Great system we have here--a revolving door of corruption with no accountability

    Bring on the next crook so he can rape our constitution even more then resign with immunity

  • LEAVE YOU NAZI

    Ding Dong the witch is dead!!!!

    Die you NAZI DIE

  • This man has worked hard to destroy the Ameican Dream of Life, Liberty, and the Persuit of Happiness. We need to force more Liberty hating gov officials out of office.

  • Bye, Bye Gone-zales.

  • this proves the white man is the devil .

    to take this poor dumb wet back and make him look like a fool after he has dedicated his life to doing your bidding

    now that's evil.

  • OLDROB2005- Yea its the pigment in our skin, that it. Jackass

  • up yours putittogher keep talken shit and i'll take

    your devilish white ass apart.if you can't stand the

    truth that we are all about to drop dead as a dirct

    result of the activities of some europeans thats your problem not mine.

  • Actually what this proves is that it isn't the white man which is evil. It's the power-hungry and greedy you have to worry about. Gonzales willingly set about his work at his master's bidding. Then when he got caught, he willingly lied and obfuscated to avoid prison, and finally he resigns. Just after his political master did. The Bush administration isn't republican - it's openly fascist.

  • I would like to suggest Patrick Fitzgerald for the job of AG.

  • looks like the rats are leaving the sinking ship

  • I'm surprised he remembered his kids' names! Seeya homez!

  • he can not be serious:)))

  • Dont you guys get it...The republicans and democrat are the same...All this is just cannon faughter....A little game they play to keep you entertained. Keep you off the real topics, the Democrat's would have gladly subverted the U.S. constitution just like them if given the chance to take more power over the people. In fact they supported Bush on these key issues. Sheep......

  • BILL CLINTON Fired all U.S. Attorneys to appoint Paula Casey to prevent

    Judge David Hale from testifying against Clinton. He also blocked Justice Department indictments after Inspector

    General Sherman Funk found "criminal violations of the Privacy

    Act provable beyond reasonable doubt" when former Bush employee

    files were searched and leaked to the press

  • Most admins fire all US attorneys when they come into office.

  • True, but Bush did not. Regardless, he has the full authority to do so whenever he wants.

  • Look it up bush replaced most if not all of them when he took office in his first term as do most presidents for quite some time. Yeah he does but he cant use that to influence elections and cant go around lieing about what happened.

  • What makes this different is that previous presidents appoint new attourneys when they come into office but let them get on with it after that. It's a political appointment, but not a political job. Bush and Rove via Gonzales fired these attourneys for not engaging in political prosecutions. It was the modern equivalent of the night of the long knives.

  • A sad day for torturers worldwide.

  • Yeah. Bush has had to make a lot of tough calls since he's been in office. I think his next one is going to be is whether or not to be the next president. I think he will tough it out. He's a tough guy. Hell he's not like some chick he's a decider. Do you think he's gonna hand it over to a chick.

  • Oh shit. To have Rice as president would be the most fucking insane and awesome thing since Jesus Christ went into power in Heaven.

  • gonzales was one of bush's puppets, and now that his gone he left bush in a tough position

  • I love it. I think I got a response. Lets have a beer and sit down and talk about those cases them there attorneys was working on. Wait. Lets you and I sit down then have those beers. Unless you don't think a republican wouldn't bust another republican. I don't call it homework. I call it entertainment. I could give a shit more.

  • yeah!!! finally

  • Yes I am so glad that man is gone. Wait... what did he do again? Well it doesn't matter now. As long as I don't have to see his face in front of any senate hearings for awhile. I can finally get my hopes up that things are really changing for the better in Washington. I wonder if he did anything that bad? I wonder if I left the stove on?

  • ooooohhhhhhkey, mr. Al Gonzalez's chief of staff. funny though, your comment is vague and evasive just like your boss

  • Demnocans are all tools.

  • Sour grapes, sour grapes.

  • Did you find you party in that word lol? What an idiot.

  • The idiots are the one who believe republican stands for moral and family values.

    Are you one of them?

  • Did you find your party in that word?

  • Why do you keep repeating the same question?

  • Because you can't read? Say it with me Demnocans

  • So anyone who disagree with you is a dem?

    What kind of logic is that?

  • Both parties are one in war. It's that kind of logic.

  • Not anymore because even some of the rep wants US out of Iraq like Warner, Hagel, Paul and who knows how many others who wants the same thing but afraid to say so out loud.

  • Michael Moore's Youtube Account "mmflint" has been SUSPENDED!!!

  • Another tool.

  • Gonzales can talk about honor all he wants, he'll still be viewed in history as a stooge for Bush and Cheney who did irreparable harm to this nation's justice department's credibility as a caldron of integrity.

  • The Justice Department's integrity was never harmed. It was all nothing more than Democrat smoke and mirrors. Reno's Justice Department was a joke. There real people died.

  • "Reno's Justice Department was a joke. There real people died".

    Are you referring to WACO?

    I hope you're not one of those religious right winger rapturists Christians.

  • I am referring to the WHOLE thing. Reno was an idiot.

  • At least she has better memory than Gonzales.

  • NPR disscussion: A Call for Integrity in DOJ Leadership

    "Donald Ayer, who spent much of his career at the Justice Department and served as Deputy Attorney General under the first President Bush, says the next leader has to be willing to say egregious mistakes have been made."

  • you forgot desimation of our constitution

  • I'm a Latino, and if Alberto Gonzalez is a Latino, I'm ashamed to call myself one.

  • in a way its comforting to know that any one of us, regardless of race, can grow up to become such a complete tool. anyone can grow up and become "the man". not exactly dr. kings dream but its something i guess. maybe next time we can get a shining beacon of integrity.

  • Seriously. No wonder white people fear us. They think we're all corrupt and suffer from short-memory spans.

  • White people fear who u lol lol.

  • Where is the crime?

    Clinton fired 93 federal prosecutors.

    They serve at the pleasure of the President.

    Where were you all when that happened?

  • Oh my god dude, that is such a weak argument. The 93 that Clinton fired was done at the beginning of his term as all presidents have done. It is unprecedented to fire and replace all these people in the middle of one's term of office. Not to mention the "why" they were fired.

  • It is not "unprecedented" to fire US Attorneys. If Bush wanted to replace a few before he leaves office, that is his right as President. The "why" is immaterial. Clinton fired all 93 for purely political reasons. Was that a scandal?

  • it IS unprecedented the way it was done here. As in the timing. Show me proof that any other has done so in the middle of a term like this. ...and why is the "why" immaterial with bush but it's a scandal with Clinton? You have chosen a side and you dont care if they are right or wrong. That is called blind devotion, you might as well have a king again.

  • The Democrats filibuster Bush's judicial nominees. That was unprecedented. Asking a US Attorney to resign is not unprecedented. I did not say what Clinton did was a scandal. What I am saying is that both he and Bush have the authority to hire and fire them at will. They are politically appointed jobs and everyone knows it.

  • "The Democrats filibuster Bush's judicial nominees. That was unprecedented." hahaha..no it's not! harriet miers and the like should not be aloud to hold an office that NEEDS them to be independent the president. WHY are you defending this man? Not even all the republicans in office are....many were also asking for him to leave. Do you really think bush's good-old-boy is innocent?

  • Karl Rove, Alberto Gonzales and Bush will be gone in a year. Great. Really not any cause for celebration though, the damage has already been done.

  • Hey Filthy...The U.S. prosecutors that were fired were Republican, not Democrats. The problem was that they apparently weren't Republican enough. They weren't true Bushies, and wouldn't do the administration's bidding, who tried to interfere with ongoing investigations. The Attorney General's office is supposed to administer justice equally, not use their power to gain political advantage. It's not really that hard to understand.

  • Site your source for that, I can't find their party affliations listed...

    (Daily Kos is not a legitimate source either.)

    "The Attorney General's office is supposed to administer justice equally, not use their power to gain political advantage. It's not really that hard to understand."

    My point exactly, The Dems are using these attourneys to hinder and gain political advantage.

    The constant fishing is amazing, all because they have an election to win and a Clinton to annoint

  • they are listed as republican in their wikipedia bios as well as in time magazine. now i know you want this to be a case of the evil dems trying to pick a fight. but it is much more of a congress vs president kind of fight. and that is as it should be. presidents need to be given a hard time, this president especially.

  • What? Can you lay out a cohesive argument? The reason non-Republicans are upset with Gonzales is that HE politicized a department that should not have been partisan. And if you would have done your homework you would have known that all the attorneys fired were Republicans (but not loyal "Bush-ees").

  • What difference does that make? He did not "politicize" the Department of Justice. He decided to make some changes in US Attorneys, which is well within his authority. It had nothing to do with being "loyal Bush-ees", which is not a bad thing since they all work for the President.

  • the attroneys were fired for doing their job well. And then the bushies went ahead and tried to tranish the images of these attorneys. If you do not question their motives and behave like sheeps to a dictator oops sorry, decider Mr. Bush then go vote republican. I dont understand these guys any time a fault is found in the republicans they say hey clinton did it. So does that give the republicans to commit the same mistakes then act holier that thou. hypocrits
