So, Gonzales testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee today, and reaffirmed his status as a completely incompetent idiot. The video I have placed below is of an exchange between Gonzales and Sen. Arlen Specter (R-PA).
Seriously guys, this guy is an joke. He is in his position because of nepotism, he has [...]

A few posts ago, I talked about the differences between Fox News’ and CNN’s prime time lineups, namely that Fox’s was full of opinion shows and CNN’s was full of investigative news magazines.

Okay, so the Asshat of the Week thing is turning out not to be a weekly affair, but hey… who cares, right?

Yesterday, responding to pressure from his base, Pardoned the embattled former aide of the Vice President, Scooter Libby… ok… not quite…
Bush actually commuted Libby’s sentence, meaning that Scooter will not have to go to prison for 30 months (such a long time, I know), but he will still have to pay a $250,000 [...]
