Not having television, I had never heard Alberto Gonzales' voice until I saw a YouTube clip of last Thursday's Senate hearing. What a high pitched squeak! He sounds a heck of a lot more like Michael Jackson than he sounds like John Wayne or Gary Cooper in High Noon. What a disappointment he must be to Ann Coulter and Michelle Malkin!
I'm surprised that the writers who ridicule Democrats for not being macho enough haven't been piling on Gonzales. Or comparing Mezzo Soprano Al unfavorably to the iron-jawed prosecutors like David Yglesias that he fired. Or comparing George Bush to Alan Ladd, the famously short actor who spent his career devising strategies to make him look taller. Bush seems to be all about making himself look more "manly" in the John Wayne/Gary Cooper mode. He surrounds himself with women (Harriet Miers, Karen Hughes, and Condoleeza Rice) , dough-faced weenies like Karl Rove and Kyle Sampson, and guys like Al Gonzales who sound like little girls.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
