If he’d be a grifter by his trade.

Bad combover. Check. Too long red tie. Check. Orange spray tan. Check. Tiny hands. Check. Cluelessness. Check…

If you’re in the room with a grifter, you’re the mark.

Amazing the amount of clueless people still backing democrats. You are the problem and the demise of our country. Neither side is perfect but only one still has at least a few morals and a little sanity left. Democrats are disgusting, perverted, and stand for nothing beneficial to any of us. Truly evil and supported, which just baffles me.

$130,000.00 goes a long way to erasing any whiff of perversion or immorality in some hypocritical circles, eh?

“…the lesson that this long course in human wickedness had taught us-the lesson of the fearsome, word-and-thought-defying banality of evil…” Hannah Arendt, Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil

Former Bush administration Counsel and then Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez recently gave an interview, remarkable in its self-pity and right wingnut cult of victimization, to The Wall Street Journal:

DECEMBER 31, 2008

Alberto Gonzales: Interview Excerpts

…On his role and the role of others in the White House in developing the since-rescinded Justice Department legal opinions on interrogation that became known as the “torture memos”:

“My job wasn’t to say, the agency [CIA] wants you to do this. I wouldn’t do that. We did not pressure the department [of Justice] to deliver a particular answer. That contention is terribly disrespectful to the reputations of the lawyers.”

“In the end it was up to the department. John Yoo had strong views. No one could make him do anything he didn’t want to do.”

On whether waterboarding is torture:

“I won’t answer that question. [To answer] Requires an interpretation of the statute that is very vague…”

[emphasis in original]

Uh, waterboarding is torture: A Small Clique Of Legal Extremists…

Former AG Alberto Gonzales to WSJ: ‘I Consider Myself a Casualty’

Posted by Dan Slater

…In one of his final acts before leaving office, Gonzales denied he was planning to quit, even though he had told the president of his intention to resign. Asked about the misleading comment, he said: “At that point, I didn’t care.”

[emphasis added]

Evidently he never did.

I look forward to the day we see Alberto Gonzalez and his ilk answering at The Hague.
