Should we be surprised about Alberto Gonzales' behavior?

Question

Alberto Gonzales' original claim to fame is that he got GW out of Jury duty, while he was governor. Although Jury duty is a bother, it is still our civic duty as a U. S. citizen. So should we be surprised? Also, let's be reasonable, if the Governor of any state shows up for Jury duty in the state he governs, he would probably be released anyway, even in Texas.

I would like to respond to Buttercup's comments about us Liberals,especially us "Minority Liberals". First, the question wasn't about race. Second, the link that I put in the question refers to a Republican Senator stating the Gonzales should be removed. The article doesn't mention race either. Third, I just want someone competent and qualified. I don't have a race requirement. I would rather have someone white and competent in a powerful position than a minority who is incompetent in that same position. I think that the latter is far worse.

Answer 1

If Bush refuses to be held accountable for anything, why would you expect his lackeys to be any different?

Answer 2

So, what's your beef? Is that the worst thing you can come
up with about Alberto Gonzales? That isn't even worth
writing about. You liberals are so full of "hate" that I can
hardly believe it. Bush is trying to use Blacks, minorities,
Hispanics, women, etc. to even out.....but you liberals
don't even accept that as something good. You're the ones
that think others than White men should be in high offices.
Bush has done that, Democrats have not.

Answer 3

Guess you answered your own question!

Everyone will try to get out of jury duty it's too "bothersome" and "it doesn't pay the bills".

Answer 4

The only thing that would surprise me from the Bushies would be honesty, integrity, generosity, competence, and empathy.

Answer 5

What's the suprise?

Answer 6

uh......ok?
