Alberto, how could you forget the commencement speech?
The other day I read in the paper that a federal judge sentenced Joya Williams to eight years in prison for conspiring to steal trade secrets from Coca Cola for the purpose of selling them to rival PepsiCo. The judge said, “This is the kind of offense that cannot be tolerated in our society.” And just like that, it was done.
I got to thinking . . . why couldn’t that judge look into the doings of Alberto Gonzales? I googled Alberto to find out the latest and what came up was a graduation speech given by Coleen Rowley, an ex FBI employee who was a whistle blower regarding the inept goings on in that department. She was demoted and eventually found herself on the cover of “Time” magazine as one of three women of the year in 2002 – all whistle blowers. Her speech was given at the commencement address in Iowa City at the U of Iowa Law School on May 12. Her speech was excellent and very inspiring . . . probably not the kind of speech they were expecting. They were actually expecting Alberto Gonzales but he apparently couldn’t recall that appointment. I admire Coleen so much for what she did and what she said in her speech.
George Bush spoke in the Rose Garden this week, and when questioned about the Gonzales business, he made these two statements, among many: “If there’s wrongdoing, it will be taken care of,” and “Yes, I’ve got confidence in Al Gonzales doing the job.” I wonder when he will decide if there has been any wrongdoing. I wonder about him . . . does he watch tv at night and what does he watch? We know he doesn’t read. What goes on in his little brain? Well, during his speech in the Rose Garden, a bird flew over and pooped on his sleeve. And that’s just about what I thought of his speech or any of his speeches.
I’ll bet if we could get the judge that sentenced the Coca Cola thief to work on the Gonzales case, we’d get something done in no time. After all, isn’t what goes on in our Justice Department just as important as what goes on with Coca Cola? And shouldn’t it get the same treatment, or possibly preferential treatment?
