“Gonzales’ Middle Name: It’s just ‘R’! At least that what it appears to be according to my quick online search of Texas’ vital records database. There is one Alberto R. Gonzales listed as having been born 8 August 1955 in Bexar County, which is where his hometown of San Antonio is located. This birth records info track with Gonzales’ bio at Wikipedia. For all of the other listings, the records show full middle names where available, and are blank where there is no middle name at all. For Gonzales, under the middle name column, it simply says ‘R’.
It’s a bit odd, but it isn’t the first time I’ve seem someone with just a middle initial, without an actual full middle name. If this is true, then perhaps the White House’s ‘secrecy’ about his middle name is really just a joke. They’re simply taking the piss out of the media and waiting to see how long it takes them to find out that the White House had, in fact, released Alberto ‘R’ Gonzales’ full middle name already!
This all reminds me of one Homer J. Simpson’s growing up not knowing what his middle initial stands for, only to find out eventually that it’s ‘Jay’!” Yep. The Simpsons are always ahead of the curve. Then there’s this.
