    The Short Answer

    I have a question. Just how tall is Al Gonzales? I can't tell from watching him on C-Span, but I do see signs of something I've learned to identitfy as "little man complex."

    Little man complex is a disease prevalent in health clubs and occurs in men of small stature, say under 6 feet.

    Something about their physical diminutiveness drives them into gyms to torture their bodies into unnatural physical feats and repulsive, steroid bloated levels of muscular growth, because it isn't about health, it's about benching 405 every time you work out, even if the joints are so destroyed in your shoulders you have to take heart poisoning vioxx to work out without screaming in pain.

    I don't know if the attorney general lifts weights, but I'm beginning to identify a variant form of little man complex as I watch Al excuse warrantless spying, decline to answer questions, interpret laws in favor of torture and ignoring Geneva conventions and tearing up the bill of rights and the constitution by denying equal treatment, attorneys, fair and open trials etc., to so called enemy combatants and, eventually, to those who dissent from the party.

    Considering that Al and his team are the fine legal minds behind a lot of these fascist monkey shines, I am left to wonder, just how tall is Al?
    Why does he have to prove how tough he is all the time?
    Why does he have to prove how tough Amerikkka is?
    Does he feel not quite Amerikkkan? Was he abused at an early age over his light brown skin, so has to engage in this super tough game in order to feel he belongs. Is he just short so needs to muster and wield all the power he can find, going so far as to abuse it, to feel like a real man?
    Wouldn't a nice pair of elevator shoes be better for us all?
