In the late 90's Gonzalez helped prevent Bush's drunk driving conviction from becoming public knowledge. Gonzalez then lied to the Senate under oath about this incident during his confirmation hearings.

MELANIE SLOAN: Sure. Back in 1996 or '97, when Mr. Gonzales was the counsel to the governor, currently President Bush, then Governor Bush, Governor Bush was summoned for jury duty and the case involved a dancer at a strip club who was charged with drunk driving and obviously Mr. Bush, who has a drunk driving conviction, that would have had to have come out in the jury selection and he wouldn't have been able to serve. Mr. Gonzales accompanied Mr. Bush to court and, in the court, they asked for an off the record conversation and the judge, prosecutor, and defense lawyer are now all giving the same version of the story and they're saying that what happened was Mr. Gonzales came in and asked that Mr. Bush be excused from jury duty because, as the governor, he might one day be asked to pardon the defendant in the case.

Now the judge said, Judge David Crain, said that he thought that was incredibility unlikely, the concept of a stripper basically getting a pardon by the Governor for a drunk driving charge. But he, out of deference to the governor, he agreed that, ok, they would excuse him. The defense lawyer then made a motion to strike Governor Bush from the jury panel and Mr. Bush was excused. In his answers to some questions, written questions offered by senator Leahy, Mr. Gonzales was asked about the incident and he said that he accompanied the Governor to jury duty and then the defense lawyer made a motion to strike the Governor and Mr. Gonzales was asked if he had any objections to that and he said no. So, he left out the entire conversation about the pardon issue and asking that the Governor be excused from jury duty. Now the reason I filed a bar complaint over this discrepancy is because Mr. Gonzales clearly was evasive and gave untrue answers to the Senate Judiciary Committee.

He misrepresented the truth and the rules of professional conduct for lawyers state unequivocally that a lawyer can't engage in conduct that involves dishonesty, misrepresentation, or fraud, and I believe that Mr. Gonzales' conduct does include those things.

Hell, you would mostly get in to Yale WITHOUT replacing your final title to Bush. As lengthy as you're now not a white, center elegance American, they might mostly take you, and our executive might pay your means with scholarships and offers. If you ARE a white, center elegance American, simply disregard it. You'll be going to a group school at your possess price.

Thats just a small percentage of what their hiding from us. Hopefully the whole darn gvnmt will be caught doing something illegally. we need people in there who dont care about the pay or what size jet they get or how many free trips they get. We need a gvnmt who only cares about the US, our jobless, our homeless, and a gvnmt who wants to rid the US of illegal aliens. Who will incarcerate them into prison, who will not allow their children to be a US citizen if parents are illegal.

"Birds of a feather flock together." Liars, cheaters, crooks, corruption, demagoguery... puppets all for the super rich and powerful... what more is there to say? They THINK they're above the Constitution and the laws, ethics and morals they impose on the rest of American and also want to impose on the entire world!

So, I can see you are a democrat and hate republlicans. I am sure you can find even more dirt if you look hard enough. Maybe you could even make some fake documents and get them to Dan Rather so you could go live on his show with your hatred and disrespect for the President. You may hate the man, but at least respect the office of the president of the United States.
