How Gonzo is Gonzo?

The Almighty and sometimes accurate Wikipedia said:
Gonzo is a style of reportage, filmmaking, or any form of multimedia production in which the reporter, filmmaker or author is intrinsically enmeshed with the subject action (rather than being a passive observer). The style was popularized by Hunter S. Thompson.

The term "Gonzo" is often misattributed to Hunter S. Thompson, but was in fact first used by Boston Globe reporter Bill Cardoso, who, after reading Thompson's The Kentucky Derby is Decadent and Depraved, proclaimed "That is pure Gonzo!" (According to Cardoso, 'Gonzo' is South Boston Irish slang describing the last man standing after a drinking marathon.[1] However, this usage is more likely inspired by the 1960 hit song Gonzo by New Orleans R&B keyboardist James Booker.) Thompson would instigate events himself, often in a prankish or belligerent manner, and then document both his actions and those of others. The term has also come into (sometimes pejorative) use to describe journalism (or generally any writing) that is broadly in the vein of Thompson's writing, characterized by a drug-fueled stream-of-consciousness technique.

Gonzo also occurs when an author cannot remove himself from the subject he investigates. In some cases -- such as tornado chasing, wherein most documenting is done by the person driving the car and holding the camera -- the gonzo element is inherent. In most other cases, however, it is a deliberate and voluntary choice of the journalist, or the media firm for which he or she works. Thompson felt that objectivity in journalism was a myth. The term has now become a bona-fide style of writing that concerns itself with 'telling it like it is', not far from the New Journalism practiced by Tom Wolfe and Terry Southern. Nowadays Gonzo is very popular as a pornographic niche. John Stagliano is considered to have started the Gonzo pornography genre with his Buttman series of films. Ben Dover brought it to Europe, where Handyman sex introduced it in The Netherlands.

Well, here's a guy who desperately try to distance himself from the action being reported, as if it just was something that happened around him, kinda, maybe. Anyway, he can't recall. But something happened. But what, and when, and who, was out of his hands. Or it wasn't, it was his hands, but whose his hands were at the moment, or what they were, or when the moment was, he can't recall. Or something. With every breath, he's been working himself deeper and deeper into the narrative of the story. It's like quicksand. Poor sod. And in digging his own grave deeper and deeper, he becomes the story, instead of what went on with those firings.

Gonzales, the accidental Gonzo.

Actually, I think the nick-name has less to do with Thompson's Gonzo Journalism than with the Muppet's Gonzo:

Who was probably named for Gonzo journalism given his personality. From Wiki:

Unlike most of the central Muppets characters, Gonzo is not meant to represent a human being or an anthropomorphized animal, but sports a bizarre, non-human appearance, which includes blue fur, bug-eyes, and a long, bendy, phallic nose, thought to be inspired by the acorn weevil. On The Muppet Show he performed as a performance artist, stuntman and daredevil under the name "The Great Gonzo" (or "Gonzo the Great"). He takes pride in his iconoclasm, all the while romantically pursuing Camilla the chicken. In fact, Gonzo is friend to all chickens and is considered the show's expert on the species. In his early performances, Gonzo often complained about the people who did not appreciate his "art".

That sounds more like Alberto now doesn' it? :rolleyes:
 
This administration doesn't believe it has to answer to anyone, be it the American people, or members of Congress, even their OWN PARTY.

Gonzales towed the President's line. For the Republicans who are up for re-election in 2008, Bush has become a Pariah, similiar to Clinton in 2000 (the real Clinton, the patriot, William Jefferson)

Honestly though, I don't think congress actually has the authority to fire Gonzo, so as long as he keeps his boss happy, he's fine. Everyone else in the "office" can hate his guts, but as long as he's his boss's golden boy, he's set.
