"But
there were other tributes to attorney general Alberto Gonzales that could also
be seen as humorously leading [on screen: DEA admin. Karen Tandy saying,
'History will capture all of the extraordinary records that you set in the area
of drugs'].
Indeed, one of those records Gonzales has now done to promote more
short-term memory loss than any other Hispanic American, breaking the old mark
held by Cheech.
It was time for Gonzales' own words, his farewell address. Now
obviously, if I may, I'd like to add a personal sentiment here. We've used the
attorney general's lack of candor, his use of the phrase 'I don't recall' to
reduce him to an amnesiac character. But as you go, Alberto, can you, for me,
make one more jaw-droppingly ironic reference to it for me?
[on screen: Gonzales
saying, 'I stand before you today sincerely grateful for the many wonderful
memories I have as attorney general']. You don't remember any of it!"
