Gonzales's First Day

Hmmm. So CNN reports that Alberto "briefed" Justice Department staff--wonder what that entailed?

The Rude Pundit notes the GOP's fascination with Gonzales's ethnic background--that or maybe they just like how the word "Hispanic" rolls off their wrinkled, craggy lips. He concludes:

Yep, like Clarence Thomas, that shining beacon of hope for the black community, Alberto Gonzales, who is, indeed, the first Hispanic Attorney General and, in fact, Attorney General to all of us, will glow like a 7-11 burrito being nuked in a cheese-stained microwave, casting a beam on smiling would-be torturing Hispanics everywhere, wondrous Hispanics who toil in the fields of America, trying so hard to justify the ways of the white people who order them to do their bidding.

Actually, he also goes on to tell both John McCain and Joe Lieberman where they can shove it--and rightly so. Rewarding Gonzales is like giving a puppy filet mignon after he's taken a shit on the rug.
