Let's Make It Simple - Yes or Yes

It's a goofy graphic, it pleases me and I want to share

This is the graphic that accompanies the Village Voice article by Harkavy, entitled Going, Going Goniffs: Wolfowitz, Gonzales Get Fragged. I haven't been following too closely Wolfowitz's nepotism troubles at the World Bank but I've been paying a little more attention to Gonzales' "mispoken" kerfuffle over the political firing of US Attorneys.

So, let's make sure we're clear about this - it was alright with the Republican Congress that Gonzales came up with a specious legal justification for a US President to sanction torture (they confirmed him as US Attorney General) but when he works to fire 8 US Attorneys (who are political appointees anyway) because they aren't skipping rope in the way the US President wants them then Congress feels the need to pull out the shivs and restore some moral order.

Strange values.

Mr. Gonzales, our date was over when you mouthed the word 'torture'. I'm sure you can find your own way out.
