BARBARA'S TCHATZKAHS

By Gene Messick On 11 December I wrote an Article for OEN about this: Opportunities to deal with sociopaths in American politics Since then, I've been collecting examples to prove my point. Just recently I discovered one of the most egregious examples to date, described in a recent Mother Jones blog by Jonathan Stine in which he wrote this: " Alberto Gonzales: Pathetic? Deluded? Crazy? Short fiction writer Alberto Gonzales is confused, asking in a recent interview, " What is it that I did that is so fundamentally wrong, that deserves this kind of response to my service?" If Gonzales is trying this unctuous nonsense in an attempt at image- rehabilitation, he needs to hire a professional PR company. If he's asking this question in earnest, he is demonstrably insane. As Think Progress points out, the answer to Gonzales' question includes: corrupting the DOJ by insiting on ideological purity tests in hiring; firing US Attorneys that refused to toe the Bush Ad...

CONSIDER THE SOURCE My Nana, of blessed memory, would often sit and watch the news with me. She and I spent a lot of time watching the Watergate trials together one summer. She didn't debate or argue with anyone, she just watched and would ask me "what do you think?" I would tell her and she would think about it and tell me "good point" or nod her head.

I could hear Nana saying to me: "Consider the source!"
