Paul Krugman wracks his brain for the noun that best sums up a person would drag the Justice Department into the mud and then pretend to be a martyr and say crap like this:
I consider myself a casualty, one of the many casualties of the war on terror.
I have to say, my extensive vocabulary of profanity is failing me here. I think this is the sort of challenge that might stump George Carlin. What it comes down to is this: Gonzalez should be in prison right now, but instead he’s making tens of thousands of dollars per speaking engagement. Asshole doesn’t get the right to complain.
Who in their right mind is paying him?
