WH refuses to release Alberto Gonzales' middle name?!

[Gold Metal Flake]

Heard on Democracy Now this morning. Alberto Gonzales rprefers to use the initial "R".

Now, a nominee for Attorney General refusing to disclose his middle name is completely normal to be sure.

Yeah.

I wonder what is behind HIS thousand-dollar curtain of blue velvet?

1. 'Rebozo'

[whistle]

9. As in Bee Bee Rebozo? That was Richard Nixon's KKKarl Rove...

...but Bee Bee was less ridiculous about political dirty tricks than Rove.

[Richardo]

11. Well, Bebe wasn't really a WH insider - just a fanatical Nixon loyalist

Haldeman (along with Ehrlichman and Mitchell) was Nixon's Rove.

[libertad]

21. Alberto Gonzales is Mexican-American, not Cuban.

[Richardo]

25. And your point is?

I was merely attempting a humorous linking of Nixon to Bush via a hidden Latino name. I was not suggesting that Gonzales might actually have a Cuban name.

Many of the other responses are in a somewhat humorous vein. (I don't think anyone is suggesting his name is REALLY 'Reacharound' or 'Ricky Ricardo' for example. Incidentally, Ricky Ricardo was another Cuban.)

I can see where someone's humor meter might need to be recalibrated. :eyes:

2. In Hispanic countries many do not have middle names

He would normally be named Alberto Gonzalez _____________

with the _________ being his mother's last name.

[Gold Metal Flake]

10. I understand that is true.

Also in Japan, where my soon to be nephew will have a middle name. But, Alberto Gonzales DOES have a middle name, and refuses to disclose it. Which, of course, is perfectly normal. (close curtain)

[flordehinojos]

16. In Hispanic countries many have more than one middle name, for instance

someone might be called,

Alberto Rosario Ramiro Carlos Jacinto GONZALEZ ______________
and you are right the ___________ being the mother's maiden (or last name).

So ... what hides behind the refusal to reveal the complete "R" name in Albert R. Gonzalez's name... a girlie name like "Rosario"? or would a search on Alberto-whatever-the-R-stands-for Gonzalez reveal some hidden DUI, Domestic Violence, or other criminal record.

TRANSPARENCY, TRANSPARENCY, TRANSPARENCY...nothing that the goons can afford, they like to live in the cave of darkness; it is the only way they can survive.

[The Backlash Cometh]

18. So, what is his mother's last name, then?

[berni_mccoy]

3. Roboto?

4. Reichsmarshall?

[petepillow]

6. Redundant?

[tsakshaug]

7. Ricky Ricardo?

[Stephanie]

8. Criminal record?

Did he get his Drivers License number changed? He's Texan, right? They must have scrubbed something.

[Gold Metal Flake]

13. I would suspect scrubbage,

but then again I am sure something is wrong with me. Must be, because this is perfectly normal. Yup.

Seriously, what is in this guy's past?

[slestak]

12. Ratbastard? n/t

[Sideways]

15. RUNT Have You Guys Seen Any Photos Of The MoFo?

He is about 6 inches shorter than **.

[asjr]

17. It may be Pilate.

[peekaloo]

19. Reacharound.

[Ann Arbor Dem]

20. Repugnant??

:P

[DesEtoiles]

22. Raul Alberto Gonzales

He signed my Supreme Court Certificate when I was licensed to practice.

[Gold Metal Flake]

27. Aha. I will have to check the DN transcript to see...

...if they said First or Middle name, but I am pretty sure they said middle. Has he been refered to as R. Alberto Gonzales or Alberto R. Gonzales in print?

[AntiCoup2K4]

28. Ah, so it's his unfortunate initials he's trying to avoid.

Look, the Attorney General's on the RAG again :evilgrin:

[jojo54]

23. So just what are we saying......

that the WH is hiding something? Oh, my goodness. That's not very "moral" now is it? They shouldn't hide things from us, we're the trustful, God fearing, law abiding citizens who voted him back into office. A dishonest politician....I've never heard of such a thing. LOL:puke:

[Sparkle]

24. He probably doesn't have a middle name.

Is he of mexican descent? Most of the ones I know, don't have a middle name.

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

26. it's jesus

or maybe hitler.
