Alberto Gonzales Defense Fund Begins

Supporters of former attorney general Alberto R. Gonzales have created a trust fund to help pay for his legal expenses, which are mounting in the face of an ongoing Justice Department investigation into whether Gonzales committed perjury or improperly tampered with a congressional witness.

The establishment of a legal defense fund for the nation's former chief law enforcement officer underscores the potential peril confronting Gonzales, who is one of a handful of attorneys general to face potential criminal charges for actions taken in office.

"Santas in Australia's largest city have been told not to use Father Christmas's traditional 'ho, ho, ho' greeting because it may be offensive to women.

Sydney's Santa Clauses have instead been instructed to say 'ha, ha, ha'."


About time. When I was around three years old and heard Santa say ho ho ho, I thought to myself, why is that fat bastard bragging about having three prostitutes?

So heart warming to see the GOP line up to donate money to his defense fund BEFORE any indictments are charged. In other words, regardless of the charges, they will declare him innocent.

Hope that rational, independent thinking people see this for what it is. Cover-up city. Payback in November, 2008 should be a bitch for the GOP. Wipe them off the face of the earth!

Legal defense fund? What, i thought he didn't do anything wrong? He only quit to spend more time with his family.

I'm going to start printing up those "Free Gonzo" t-shirts now, because he is obviously a real American hero. A regular Horatio Alger, or is that a real Alger Hiss? I always get those two confused, but it makes me feel better that the Chimp in Charge has the same issues.

The idiot 24%ers are out in force today preaching their ignorance. The defenders of tyranny just prove the GOP is all about breaking the law and when caught doing so they blame everyone else, typical criminal way of life, blame everyone else for your problems!!

Wingnuts are just getting more pathetic every day!

It is easier for a BushPig to pass through the eye of a needle if it is lightly greased.

The Gonzo twins look like the cover of "mad magazine". Tell him to call someone who cares about his defense, like uhm Cheney or Rove or his BFF George.

[Roafer]

The trolls are going wingnuts today trying to defend the obvious tyranny of the Dumbya Regime and their heros criminal fired AG.

Keep drooling because it is a big hoot to watch people crumble with ignorance.

GET OVER IT YOU TROLLS, THE GOP IS TOAST, the American people and most of the world has had enough, you're in your last throws, have a nice time in hell.

[LaFeminazi]

Why do the trolls

Presume he is innocent?

This is a new concept for them.

Of course, bags of feces would be inappropriate. You should omit the bag.

I understand Bin laden has pledged $25, stating, "that little prick has done more damage to the United States then we could have done in one thousand years!"

[SouthpawSass]

Okay, until the investigation is over, he is not guilty, legally. Right?

Do I personally think he is? Yes, I do. But it's not for me to say. So.....

Let those who support him give to his fund all they want.

As long as the burden of contributing is not put on those who don't support him, let the bricks fall where they may.

[cowboyjerkface]

If Gonzales is so innocent then why arent there any right wing groups lining up to do this Pro bono???? Maybe its because hes not and there is money to be made by these ambulance chasers.....seems ironic that the party that despises attorneys the most uses them the most beginning in 2000 with the fradulent election of the ChimpMeister himself.

From the Washinton Post article:

David G. Leitch, a Gonzales friend and general counsel at the Ford Motor Co. wrote in an e-mail solicitation to potential contributors last month that, "Gonzales must engage highly competent legal counsel to represent him."

So even his lawyer FRIENDS admit that Gonzo isn't "highly competent". And the guy was the Attorney General??? WTF???

Typical of a Bush appointee, though. Isn't it, Brownie?
