The Agony of AG-AG (Attorney General Alberto Gonzales)...
Ye Cats, what a dilemma this man has begat himself!
Aside from the mind-numbing effects the threatened perjury charges from Patrick Leahy (D. - Vt.) would have on our entire system of law enforcement. Of course, Mr. Leahy has offered up a deadline for the AG-AG to clean up or clarify his deeds and statements. However, it seems quite clear that every sewage treatment facility in the U.S. would be needed to clean up the spillage from this gentleman's "pie"hole (errr..."lie"hole, maybe?).
Has the Jafo's "I Don't Recall" scorecard sign for AG-AG now become a list of perjury charges against him?
Can the AG-AG deftly evade the perceived perjury charges and get out of Leahy's line of fire? Or will he continue to duck, dive and dodge the questions being fired at him? Will he risk his personal freedom and libby or scooter out of this mess with a single or combined list of perjury convictions? That is to say, perjury convictions before Congress!
That we think, is the key math question. How many years of incarceration must the AG-AG be threatened with before he sings like a canary about to be dropped into a pit of red hot magma by Dr. Evil (as played by Patrick Leahy)? Don't get us confused, we don't think of the honorable Senator from Vermont in that way.
Maybe the AG-AG should get himself a good lawyer. Bill Clinton comes to mind. Oh, on second thought, he better not. See:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impeachment_of_Bill_Clinton.
A further thought, is this assault on the AG-AG's credibility without precedent? We've struggled to find a case where a previous US Attorney General has faced down perjury charges. Does anybody out there have any information on precedents to this legal history?
And where is his support from the law enforcement community? Has anyone offered themselves up to defend the AG-AG? Is it a risk anybody is willing to take, he might ask as he mops off the flop-sweat with a dirty napkin? (Suggestion: How about the firm of Duck, Dive and Dodge?)
Oh, never mind. Not even Hogan's Heroes could tunnel out of this one.
Sigh...wake up and smell the skatole.
