justjohn quoted a piece by Nora Ephron that I wanted to share with those who hadn't seen it:"I hope he's not worried about his legacy, because he will have one, and it will be not unlike what awaits almost all the members of this administration: they will be fodder for art. Yes, art. Dick Cheney said a couple of months ago that history would be his judge, but I beg to differ: history will be nothing compared to the plays. This administration will be the subject of hundreds of plays; the playwrights will be drawn again and again to the astonishing, amazing panoply of evil and complicity the Bush Administration has provided. Gonzales will be a hilarious comic foil in most of these productions -- a jack-in-the-box who will pop out, say he has no recollection whatsoever of anything, and pop back in. Short actors will kill to play him.
By the way, I have a pet theory about Alberto Gonzales: I've always believed that the reason the President called Gonzales Fredo was that when they first met, Bush incorrectly believed that Gonzales' first name was Alfredo, and Gonzales was too much of a toady to correct him."
Oh, what a pity I've done my "Bush Administration" piece now, and created it before the ascension of AG to AG. What a slimy little character he could have been in a noir landscape . . . hanging around the office of the Gangster/Businessman (who can't get his name right) . . . lying in every line.
But he's gone. And so is that show. LOLCat say:
