Some of you elders may have enough gray cells to remember when it was way cool to say something was gone, or real gone, if you liked it. Now we’ve got gone-Gonzales approaching -- on Friday, to be exact.
How do you say Schadenfreude in Spanish? Yes, indulge your Schadenfreude this Friday with a party to celebrate the end of one of the worst chapters in the history of our Department of Justice. Our friends at DFA-Miami-Dade are the organizers. The site is Tobacco Road, 625 S. Miami Ave., Miami 33130, 6 p.m. Friday Sept. 14.
And for extra credit, here’s something to read to reinforce your suspicions about how bad this reign of injustice under Alberto Gonzales has been: a recent backgrounder in the New York Times on the imprisonment of former Alabama Gov. Don Siegelman, a Democrat, on what seem like pretty flimsy charges. Thanks to the gone-Karl-Rove and the gone-Alberto-Gonzales.
UPDATE: An even more scathing report on the Siegelman kangaroo trial is on DailyKos on Tuesday. When someone is convicted in today's federal courts, we should always ask about the bio of the judge, and by whom appointed. This judge was of course a loyal Bushie. He insisted on a conviction when the jury wavered. As I've said before: Anyone remember the vast right-wing conspiracy?
