Gato Got Latino Tongue on Gonzalez

I have been watching the political lynching of my fellow Latino Alberto Gonzalez by the out of control sham of a Congress, who has convinced most in the country that this man is a crook, torturer, liar, incompetent who should lose his job. All this while the Latinos in Congress say nothing. First lets see who this man is they want to destroy.

Among his many professional and civic activities, Gonzales was elected to the American Law Institute in 1999. He was a board trustee of the Texas Bar Foundation from 1996 to 1999, a board director for the State Bar of Texas from 1991 to 1994, and President of the Houston Hispanic Bar Association from 1990 to 1991. He was a board director of the United Way of the Texas Gulf Coast from 1993 to 1994, and President of Leadership Houston during this same period. In 1994, Gonzales served as Chair of the Commission for District Decentralization of the Houston Independent School District, and as a member of the Committee on Undergraduate Admissions for Rice University. Gonzales was Special Legal Counsel to the Houston Host Committee for the 1990 Summit of Industrialized Nations, and a member of delegations sent by the American Council of Young Political Leaders to Mexico in 1996 and to the People's Republic of China in 1995.

Among his many honors, in 2003 Gonzales was inducted into the Hispanic Scholarship Fund Alumni Hall of Fame, was honored with the Good Neighbor Award from the United States-Mexico Chamber of Commerce, and received President's Awards from the United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and the League of United Latin American Citizens. In 2002, he was recognized as a Distinguished Alumnus of Rice University by the Association of Rice Alumni and was honored by the Harvard Law School Association with the Harvard Law School Association Award. Gonzales was recognized as the 1999 Latino Lawyer of the Year by the Hispanic National Bar Association, and he received a Presidential Citation from the State Bar of Texas in 1997 for his dedication to addressing basic legal needs of the indigent. He was chosen as one of the Five Outstanding Young Texans by the Texas Jaycees in 1994, and as the Outstanding Young Lawyer of Texas by the Texas Young Lawyers Association in 1992. Gonzales was honored by the United Way in 1993 with a Commitment to Leadership Award, and received the Hispanic Salute Award in 1989 from the Houston Metro Ford Dealers for his work in the field of education.

This is not the resume of a man who has no morals or is a criminal. Is it that he decided when he reached the highest position in law enforcement he would begin his life of crime. or is he being set up like Scooter Libby for a perjury trap by people who could not hold a candle to his integrity. We can agree or disagree as to why he fired the people in the DOJ.                                                                                                                                                   The fact is those lawyers are political appointees, they could be fired for any reason. So why all the investigating, were is the crime, There is none. if there was one the Dems would have filed charges. The fact is they are looking for one that isn't there, so they resort to who said what to who to see if they can trip him up like Libby, it worked once why not again. If they called me to testify i would say nothing all the way to the Supreme Court. That is what all this entrapment will create. He could have said i fired them because i felt like it but he thought like Libby "let me cooperate" which was his biggest mistake. He had nothing to be afraid off, its not like he oversaw the burning alive of innocent children like Janet Reno did at Waco.

So were are the Latinos in all this, is he not the"Right Kind" of Hispanic to defend? If Latinos think this will not have a ripple effect on future Latino appointments they are wrong. It is one thing to disagree about policy, but it is another thing to try to ruin a career and on top of that send him to jail.

Are Latinos in Congress going to follow the strategy of the Black Caucus by throwing some of their most talented and powerful like Clarence Thomas under the bus. Look what that strategy has done for the Black community. Smart Blacks are teased about acting white if they are "not down" with the Hip Hop Thug Culture of profanity that the Black Caucus did nothing about as it infested their community. Jay Z, Puffy, Russel Simmons are their role models. Clarence Thomas is never even spoken about, Is it any wonder they are killing each other in the streets everyday.

Latinos in the Hispanic Caucus should be ashamed of the treatment Gonzalez has recieved by them and the Liberal Dems who could care less that a decent Latino success story is being ruined. So why are they
so silent? Maybe something did get their tongue. What could that be?
Oh yeah "Un Gato".

Gonzalez's troubles have nothing to do with his race. It has everything to with his lying to congress.  He is nothing but a pawn for Bush and those who control the president.

this is an attack on a decent man and has more to do with his own people afraid to defend him. he may be a pawn but if he hasn't broken any laws they should have the balls to defend him. those that are trying to ruin him are neck deep in bribes and other crimes that will never be investigated.
