Alberto Gonzales To Attend White House Correspondents' Dinner

The Washington Post:

Guess who's coming to dinner? Well, the man who may be the biggest surprise guest at this weekend's White House Correspondents' Association dinner isn't exactly an international celebrity, or a sex symbol, or a man of power. In fact, he's out of work, can't find a new job and is wanted by human rights groups for war crimes.

Yes, that's who's coming to dinner: Alberto Gonzales, the former attorney general, who is still under scrutiny in a federal criminal probe of the mass firings of U.S. attorneys in 2006. He's also one of six Bush administration officials being investigated by a judge in Spain for complicity in approving torture.

This sin verguenza, even had the cojones to show up at Obama's inauguration Latino Ball. I'm not surprised, ALL the bushies are shameless.

Fredo -- more balls than brains.

Who's slated to perform ??? Please, please, please let it be Colbert, or Jon Stewart. Somebody who'd skewer the right.

[SharpDressedMan]

Time to take Alberto fishing.

[eden4barack08]

Wanda Sykes, I hear she can skewer the right too.

[ObamAtomic]

Alberto you are a cara duro...OMG,

[brandnewstuff]

Yep- he must be proud- what a resume on You Tube-

[SmallFarm]

He believes that he has nothing to hide. Also, he wants to up-stage the dinner. It would be hard to talk about how nice the dinner was. The focus would be on HIM. Not the President or the other guest. Another person who loves being the center of Attention. He is replacing Palin!!

"He believes that he has nothing to hide."

That's only because he doesn't remember anything.

I once when I was a kid I saw a really, really, cheesy, (as opposed to plain old cheesy), professional wrestling match where one of the wrestlers was being chased all over the ring and getting beaten to a pulp, well sorta, in a badly fake way.

After he'd been pseudo-stomped for about 3 or 4 minutes he made a beeline to grab the ringside microphone, and announced, "I really wish I could stay so I could finish whipping the crap outta this dumb mutt, but I gotta really important phone call to make", whereupon he quickly left the ring to a thundering chorus of boos, cat calls, and obscene gestures, naturally.

Maybe Roberto can recreate a similar appearance and exit at the Correspondent's Dinner. It would be fitting.

Alberto Gonzales MUST be a Glutton for Punishment! Even W. Bush knows enough to keep his mouth shut and keep out of sight.

Cheney, Rice and now Gonzo are only digging themselves in deeper by their continuing presence in the Media...

[gcallaghan]

Gonzo will be busing the tables

[Harmony1812]

Maybe they asked him there so they could arrest him. That would be a hoot!

[kareemachan]

When is his memoir - which explains everything, according to him - coming out? Just can't pull it off, can you, Al?

[greatlardini]

They gonna have somebody there to slap the bracel.ets on him?

[Macready]

someone should make a citizens arrest

[Totto]

Who's providing the bus fare from Texas?

[ESerafina42]

Can they get Stephen Colbert to come back? He could make Fredo very VERY uncomfortable, at least.

Guess who came to dinner? The torturer in Chief! Alberto(Gonzo) Gonzalez
