The turkey was a no-show


The U.S. Attorney General, Alberto Gonzales, shown here in the photo giving a special gift of friendship to President Bush, was a no-show for today's breakfast with the San Francisco Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. He was scheduled to speak to the Chamber's membership at Medjool Restaurant in the Mission, but something went terribly wrong. Word got out.

His scheduled appearance was reported by this blog and others. Later, the San Francisco Chronicle covered the story as well. Dozens of protest groups were hastily making plans to bring bullhorns, signs and lots of angry demonstrators to form a human shield around Medjool Restaurant. Gonzales, like the entire Bush Administration, is persona non grata in San Francisco.

 The Attorney General of the United States, America's top cop, got scared and changed his plans at the last minute rather than face the people of San Francisco. It looks like we won this latest skirmish without even a single person out in front of the restaurant. Gonzales was easy-pickings and he turned-out to be just another White House Turkey.

Good job, San Francisco.

But what about the San Francisco Hispanic Chamber of Commerce? What kind of brainless idiot in the SFH Chamber thought it would be a good idea to invite Gonzales to breakfast and, by so doing, anger and alienate the people who the Chamber's members depend upon for business?

Maybe it would be a good idea to look through the SFH Chamber's membership roster and send a few of them an email or give them a phone call and let them know that you will be taking your business elsewhere ... to other people who are more in tune with San Francisco politics.

You will find the roster here.
