Now most people wouldn’t care, but Gonzales seemed quite embarrassed as the local librarian approached him on the steps of the White House and said: "Young man, you checked out Horton Hires a ho in 1960 and never returned it. You owe the library $52,945.15 in late fees." 13 short years after failing to return the book to the library, he attended Harvard University where he eventually graduated. To this day he claims that he "doesn't recall graduating" and neither do his friends. They do recall partying a lot during that time, and doing all sorts of other fun stuff.
- Alberto R. Gonzales (born August 4, 1955) was the 80th United States Attorney General, appointed in February 2005 by President George W. Bush, earlier he had been Bush's General Counsel during his governorship of Texas. Gonzales had also served as Secretary of State of Texas and then as a Texas Supreme Court Justice. Gonzales's tenure as U.S. Attorney General was marked by controversy regarding warrantless surveillance of U.S. citizens and the legal authorization of so-called "Enhanced interrogation techniques" (i.e., much later, generally-acknowledged as constituting torture), in the U.S. government's post-9/11 "war on terrorism". Following bipartisan calls for his removal, Gonzales resigned from the office "in the best interests of the department," on August 27, 2007, effective September 17, 2007. Democrats were particularly opposed to Gonzales presiding over the firings of several U.S. Attorneys who had refused back-channeled White House directives to prosecute political enemies — allegedly causing the office of Attorney General to become improperly politicized. Basically Gonzales's time as Attorney General has been a Train wreck In 2008 it was revelaed in a house report that Gonzales & Condoleezza Rice misled Congress on the post-9/11 Iraq War. In February of 2016 Gonzales started to endose 2016 Republican Presidential Candidate John Kasich.
