Seems in the waning days of his Presidency (assuming he doesn't appoint himself Grand Dictator of the Universe) it seems our Fearless Deciderer in Chief is thinking of a legacy. Well, when things aren't looking too rosy, you should probably revisit the things that you know. So Bushie reached back, way back, to the grand glorious days of being Governor (his approval rating was a bit better back then) when he made himself memorable by killing off some 152 people. I guess you could say presiding over more executions than any other elected official in the history of the US of A makes a guy memorable.Seems the Department of Justice will be overseeing how the states implement their appeals process in death penalty cases. (What would they do without that Patriot Act?) So warming to the task, he's set up his favorite legal mind to get the ol' killing machine a rolling. Good old Alberto. You'd think he'd have better things to do than fast tracking people to their lethal injection, what with all that fuss about firing attorneys and such. But back when they were a team in Texas, it rarely took these two more than 30 minutes to thumbs up an execution. I imagine Gonzales can fit that in between indictments.
But wait. Didn't Bushie just declare January 19th as the National Sanctity of Human Life Day? Thousands dead in Iraq and 152 Americans to boot. Now that's a legacy.
