Fredo Buys It, or: The Passing of All Bastards pt. 2

Attorney General and Constitutional danger Alberto Gonzales has resigned. Effective September 17. Which can't fucking come soon enough for me.

The account from the New York Times is HERE.

A more cheery summary is HERE at Wonkette, in their aptly named "A Farewell to Assholes Dept."

So who was the Al Neri?



"You broke my heart, Fredo."


(OK, fun is fun, but can anyone explain to me how he became "Fredo?" His name's "Alberto," not "Alfredo." Apparently, it was given to him by Our Fearless Leader. Are all "Als" of all ethnicities the same to the man? Or was he aware some time ago that one day Fredo would be sent on a little fishing trip?)


And yes, some things can lighten the heart for a while, but even LOLCats know that the bastards never really go away. No, not really . . .





(Oh, and a Google search doesn't answer the why of the "Fredo" nickname, only that it started with OFL calling him "Alfredo" for some time. Nickname or numbskull? Youth wants to know!)
