Rep. David Obey on Alberto Gonzales:
“He’s one sneaky, lying S.O.B., to put it bluntly. He’s the most authoritarian attorney general in the history of the republic. He’s the most dangerous. I never thought I’d long for the days of John Ashcroft.” (Via CongressDaily, sub. req’d)

August 15th, 2007 at 10:04 amJohn Ashcroft? Gonzo has me longing for the days of John Mitchell.
August 15th, 2007 at 10:10 amwowsers
August 15th, 2007 at 10:14 amKinda like how GDumbya and Darth Cheney have me longing for Richard Nixon and Spiro Agnew.
At least they had the good sense to resign.

What’s up, Doc? You know that Gonzales ain’t going no where fast (especially since impeachment is off the table), right?
August 15th, 2007 at 10:17 amExactly right.
August 15th, 2007 at 10:30 amwow more childish name calling from liberals im shocked
August 15th, 2007 at 10:31 amIs this the same Obey who authored an earmark-reduction bill and then voted against his own bill when he realized just how much pork he would really lose? That Obey?
August 15th, 2007 at 10:33 amThis raises a question — is Gonzo a sneaky, lying, SOB, authoritarian AG? Or an idiotic but obedient lapdog for this administration? I guess it depends on whom you listen to.
August 15th, 2007 at 10:34 amwow more childish name calling from liberals im shocked
Not only shocked but shocked and taken aback.
August 15th, 2007 at 10:35 amI guess it depends on whom you listen to.
Im thinking that the people you listen to dont actually exist.
August 15th, 2007 at 10:36 amWhats wrong with Field Marshall Herr Gonzalez??? Gosh, mixing all that is giving me a headache. Don’t even get the jokes started. Bush DOES have a sense of humor.
August 15th, 2007 at 10:55 amI really want to read the article but I’m nor subscribing to do so. Did anyone else read it?
August 15th, 2007 at 11:04 amAmazing how the repub right think that Democrats call people names — when their (the “right”) vice president laid the “f” bomb on Senator Lahey.
August 15th, 2007 at 11:10 amGive me a break. It is about time the Dems start actually saying what is on their minds and stop pussy-footing around and afraid to call the repubs exactly what they are.
Obey and the Democrats are mad. So what? Words don’t mean anything. There are ways to get Gonzales out–inherent contempt comes to mind. Instead, they spout off angry words–throwing a very bare bone to the masses, that’s all they do. They ignore their base, because that’s what the consultants tell them is the right thing to do. Well, they ignore them at their peril. Vote all the a**holes out, starting with Pelosi.
August 15th, 2007 at 11:20 am….SO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT ALREADY!
Good god, one look at our government and you’d think it was a bad Roman orgy, nothing but A**holes and Pu**ies.
August 15th, 2007 at 11:40 amI actually miss Ashcroft too.
At least Ashcroft was enough of an American to refuse to sign Bush’s warrantless wiretapping bill.
Gonzales is a slimey weasal who should be run out of town in tar and feathers.
August 15th, 2007 at 12:47 pmJohn Ashcroft did refuse to sign off on what he thought to be illegal wiretapping. Made me think a lot better of him.
Gonzo is now known for the slimy weasel that he is. He cares nothing about his country or about the law. All he cares about is being Bush’s pet goat.
August 15th, 2007 at 1:30 pmBartlebee — really — I didn’t read the responses before typing mine. Great minds and all that.
August 15th, 2007 at 1:32 pmLet the eagle soar……like he’s never soared before…………
**snort**
August 16th, 2007 at 1:49 amLittle Gonzo’s a liar? Your kidding, right???? OMG…and I slept with him. I’ve been deceived again!
August 17th, 2007 at 12:56 amYou liar, Joanie! I just talked to Gonzo baby and he “swears” he doesn’t remember you! He is sleeping….well, he tries, anyway, with me! Gonzo baby would NEVER lie…he doesn’t remember anybody by your name!
