That President Bush is So Funny!

Hey, President Bush said something I actually agree with. He said that as attorney general, Alberto Gonzales had "successfully pursued public corruption" - pursued and achieved it, I'd say! I am a little confused by the President's characterization of Gonzales as "a man of integrity, decency and principle." It must have been a bit of sarcasm. That funny, funny man! And the President was dead-on accurate in euphemistically characterizing Gonzales as "talented" - he really has a talent for not recalling important events, that's for sure! But I'm not sure I would have characterized him as "honorable." That's pushing the sarcasm a little too far so that it almost sounds serious, which it clearly could not be. On the other hand, it was good to hear the President acknowledge that Gonzales has enjoyed "unfair treatment" – unfairly nice treatment is probably what he meant to say. And I couldn't agree more that "it's sad that we live in a time" where this sort of controversy goes on as it has. I admit I'm quite befuddled at the President's concluding statement that Gonzales' "good name was dragged through the mud for political reasons." It kind of left me wondering whether I had misinterpreted his entire statement. Surely he couldn't mean … oh, no. Oh, he does mean it the nice way. Oh, my. Well, I guess that explains a lot.
