Flotsam and jetsam

“After months of unfair treatment that has created harmful - a harmful distraction at the Justice Department, Judge Gonzales decided to resign his position, and I accept his decision.”

(…)

"It's sad we live in a time when a talented, honorable person like Alberto Gonzales is impeding (sic) from doing important work because his name has been dragged through the mud for political reasons.”

Skipper here, sir, she’s sinking fast.

Have you ever heard of C-SPAN? Might surprise you to know that some Americans actually stay on top of what’s going on in your White House.

The “harmful distraction” at the Justice Department, according to testimony, seems to have come from Gonzales himself – for, in your words, “political reasons.”

Stop blaming the Democrats for the imcompetence and deceit of your administration. They are doing their job. Republicans failed this nation when they didn’t hold you accountable.

No more B.S. We have had enough! Better prepare, sir.

Oh, and that’s not mud. That’s sand. One by one, the beached flotsam and jetsam – washing ashore after jumping or being thrown overboard from this sinking ship of your failed administration.

Swim for the shore, Mr. Gonzales! Don’t look back! That’s not a shark behind you, that’s Cheney.

Stop shifting the deck chairs, Mr. President, it’s time to go.

Fasten your life jacket, matey, and tell me quick, is that “mission accomplished” banner across the bow your legacy – or is it a mirage?
