The Problem with Alberto

Sunday 22 April 2007

After a day of testimony that showed Alberto Gonzales to be so self-contradictory, so conveniently vacant and - at times - so simply risible that even radio listeners could feel the disgust that permeated the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing room, we are all waiting to learn the attorney general's fate: Will he be pushed over the side, take a dive off the plank or simply hang onto the railing of the wreck the Bush administration has made of the Department of Justice?

Certainly, Gonzales is unfit to be the nation's chief law enforcement officer. We knew that before he testified on April 19. We knew that before he was even confirmed. No one who signs off on tortured legal memos authorizing torture, kidnapping and illegal detentions is fit to be the attorney general of the United States. But the departure of Alberto Gonzales will not right the listing ship that is the Justice Department.

Why? Because the problem with Alberto is that Alberto is only part of the problem.

How do you solve a problem like Alberto
(one nun at a time)

He climbs a tree
And scrapes his knee

His shirt has got a tear

He waltzes on his way to mass
And whistles on the stair

And underneath his wimple
His has curlers in his hair!

I've even heard him singing in the abbey

He always late for chapel,

He says his penitence is real

He's always late for everything

Except for every meal

I hate to have to say it but I very firmly feel

(all together)
Alberto's not an asset to the abbey

(one nun)
I'd like to say a word in his behalf:
Alberto makes me laugh

(all nuns laugh)

(all nuns)
How do you solve a problem like alberto?
How do you catch a cloud and pin it down?
How do you find a word that means alberto?

(one nun at a time)
A flibbertajibbit?

a lying piece of shit?

A will of a whisp

a clown

Many a thing you know you'd like tell him
Many a thing he ought to understand

But how do you make him stay?
And listen to all you say

how do you keep a wave upon the sand?

Oh how do you solve a problem like Alberto?
How do you hold a moon beam in your hand?

When I'm with him
I'm confused
Out of focus
And bemused
And I never know exactly where I am

(one nun at a time)
Unpredictable as weather

He's as flighty as a feather

He's a darling

He's a demon

He's a sham

He'd out pester any pest
Drive a hornet from its nest

He can throw a twirling dervish out of whirl

He is gentle
He is wild

He's a riddle
He's a child

He's a headache

He's an angel

He's a gonzo!!

etc

You're killin' me!
