Rivero's Rule of mass morals is that all organizations inherit the personality and moral ethics of the person at the very top. When you have a nation run by a moral liar and a cheat, you will soon evolve a party where lying and cheating is seen as acceptable behavior: Allen L Roland

Why is anyone surprised by the conduct of Alberto Gonzales ? Let's make it simple ~ Gonzales is a political hack. That said, virtually everyone appointed within the Cheney/Bush administration is a political hack tainted by the moral ethics of their leaders ~ which is dramatic proof of Rivero's rule of mass morals.

All organizations eventually inherit the personality and moral ethics of the person at the very top.

Which leads us eventually to Dick Cheney and George W Bush ~ whose blatant moral deceit and ineptitude during the past seven years have not only permanently stained the Republic, but have produced a poster child to the triumph of ineptitude in Alberto Gonzales ~ as evidenced by the following.

Gonzo on the Hill: A Comedic Tragedy By Andrew Cohen 25 Jul 2007 " Forget about the politicization of the Justice Department. Forget about the falling morale there... Forget about the contorted and contradictory accounts he's offered before in his own defense. Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales deserves to be fired for his testimony Tuesday alone; for morphing into Jon Lovitz's famous "pathological liar" character (or maybe just one of the Marx Brothers) as he tried to dodge and duck responsibility before the Senate Judiciary Committee not just for his shameful leadership at Justice but also his shameless role in visiting an ailing John Ashcroft in the hospital to try to strong-arm him into renewing the warrantless surveillance program. Can anyone out there remember a worse, less-inspiring, less confidence-inducing performance on Capitol Hill? I cannot." CLG News

Nor can I ~ It's time to clean out the clutter in this White House palace of deception ~ let's start with Gonzales and work up.
