Slate's Bush Admin Corruption Venn

I don't know about you, but I have a hard time keeping track of the Bush Administration's malfeasance. With all the shenanigans going down in the Oval Office from day to day, seeing the big picture can be tricky. Fortunately, our friends over Slate.com have created an interactive Venn-diagram to help us out. Go ahead. Play with it.

One thing I've noticed is that Bush's Attorneys General, especially Alberto Gonzales (or as I call him the weasel-faced prick), are central to these schemes. And that makes sense. The Attorney General is America's leading law enforcement official. So if you want to get away with some underhanded shit, that's the guy you want in your pocket. And Gonzales was a Bush toadie from way back in the Texas governor's mansion. Bush's nickname for Gonzales (Bush nicknames everyone: psychologists have theories about that habit) was Fredo. You know, the dumb but loyal guy in the Godfather. Which reinforces my theory that government is just a protection racket.
