Ney challenges Gonzales: ‘Let’s see what you think of waterboarding — after you’ve tried it!’
Ney challenges Gonzales: ‘Let’s see what you think of waterboarding — after you’ve tried it!’
Disgraced former congressman Bob Ney — now a radio talk show host — today issued a challenge to former Bush attorney general Alberto Gonzales: “Let’s see what you think of waterboarding — after you’ve tried it!”:
“If Alberto Gonzales wants to clear his name by saying he didn’t cooperate in torture, then let him try it himself,” said Ney, whose 1 PM show on WVLY and WVLY.net is heard in eastern Ohio, western Pennsylvania and throughout the western panhandle of West Virginia.
“When it comes to the worst abuses by the Bush administration, Alberto Gonzales is scurrying under every rock you turn up,” said Ney, who served in Congress from 1995 to 2006, when he resigned to face criminal charges in connection with the Jack Abramoff scandal.
“Whether it was rushing to the sickbed of his predecessor, John Ashcroft, to try to pressure him to sign off on illegal warrantless wiretaps, or getting the Justice Department to approve clear violations of the Geneva Conventions, there was Alberto Gonzales. He didn’t follow the law; he did whatever he was told. He’s part of the ‘Great Lie’ that was the last administration.”
In a conversation with ThinkProgress at the America’s Future Now conference this week, Ney joked that Gonzales should have served time in the Morgantown, WV federal prison — just like he did.

Wow – punkd by the coin collector. That’s gotta sting, Fredo.
June 4th, 2009 at 4:44 pmWTF?
Oh, I get it — it’s like Guido suggests. Payback.
That makes sense.
June 4th, 2009 at 4:46 pmLike a typical WAR CRIMINAL, Gonzo is also a COWARD!
June 4th, 2009 at 4:47 pmJust a little accuracy thing.
West Virginia doesn’t have a “western panhandle.” We have an “eastern panhandle” and a “northern panhandle,” but no western one. I’m guessing you meant the northern panhandle.
Ney seems to be putting that old Klingon proverb to work, to-wit: “Revenge is a dish best served cold.”

– - Ok Fredo, take a number and get in line behind that gasbag Sean Hannity.
June 4th, 2009 at 4:50 pmOh man, I’d pay money to see that!! Hell, make it a big ol’ Pay-Per-View (like rasslin’) – waterboard Gonzo, Bush, Cheney, Condi and Rummy! I’d pay $100 to see that!!!!
Hey, maybe we could pay down the national debt!! ;o)
June 4th, 2009 at 4:53 pmBet Gonzo is wishing now he had just stayed in Texas, started a small law office and chased ambulances.
PEACE
June 4th, 2009 at 4:58 pmInteresting how some of these chickensh*t repubs all of the sudden find their voice when they are out of office and have a radio show.
That’s my issue with ALL politicians. Too chickensh*t to call it like they see it. Too worried about getting re-elected effectively neuters speaking the truth.
June 4th, 2009 at 4:59 pmNope, don’t want to see anyone get this treatment. Don’t want to see “eye for an eye” justice here. I’m willing to see those responsible taken to court and hopefully behind bars.
June 4th, 2009 at 4:59 pmIf this is the best that the GOP has to offer…..
oy….
June 4th, 2009 at 5:01 pmIt looks like more often than not, the wrong kind of people are attracted to politics. The onus is on the rest of us to get involved in politics even if it sucks to be a politician. hey?
June 4th, 2009 at 5:02 pmFrom one crook to another….
June 4th, 2009 at 5:08 pmWaves of ignorance
June 4th, 2009 at 5:12 pmDissolve against shore of truth
The waves never end
If Gonzo is nervous about getting waterboarded, he can always use the “buddy system” and invite Little Seanie Vanity to join him.
June 4th, 2009 at 5:13 pmWhat is it about disgraced and unethical previous politicians and right wingers.
Whats next the Delay Cunningham Honesty Hour?

June 4th, 2009 at 5:16 pmNewsFlash: Alberto Gonzales agrees to waterboarding then misremembers he did.

June 4th, 2009 at 5:23 pmLacking self awareness gene
Go Alberto Go!
Axiom: A liberal is a conservative who has been arrested.
Looks like Mr. Ney is living proof.
June 4th, 2009 at 5:24 pmI gather Morgantown is one of those country club prisons.
Hardly the place that Gonzo deserves.
June 4th, 2009 at 5:26 pm“Revenge is a dish best served cold.”
Didn’t Khan say that?
June 4th, 2009 at 5:33 pmI don’t know this guy’s history and I’m not sure I want to take the time to look it up, but there is a segment of what he said that strikes me. That would be:
“He’s part of the ‘Great Lie’ that was the last administration.”
You’re gonna call me a nut-bar but I’m gonna say it anyway.
June 4th, 2009 at 5:40 pmAnother part of the ‘Great Lie’ has to be the ‘pearl harbor event’.
Xisithurs #18 LOL Good one!
June 4th, 2009 at 5:44 pmWhy isn’t Ney saying this to Limbaugh or O’Reilly?
June 4th, 2009 at 5:45 pmZooey #26
June 4th, 2009 at 5:47 pmI’m guessing it’s because Gonzo authorized the torture. Just a guess, now.
Zooey Says:

He doesn’t have the balls to take on the big dogs. Picking at the carcass of Gonzo is one thing but, Ney would never take on anyone with a bigger platform than his.
June 4th, 2009 at 5:50 pmI just wonder, krystalview, because Gonzo seems to be keeping a pretty low profile these days — unlike those other bozos*.
*Apologies Bozo the Neoclown. :)
June 4th, 2009 at 5:52 pmpete,
BINGO! :-D
June 4th, 2009 at 5:54 pmAmericasBack Says:
for WWII, they needed to give the American people a good enough reason to test the atomic bomb on real people. Pearl gave them this.
Off-topic, but are you also suggesting that the atomic bomb existed prior to WWII…?
June 4th, 2009 at 7:58 pmWhat the…Bob Ney said this!?! Did he get threatened with the Board if he didn’t…
June 4th, 2009 at 8:48 pmA bit off topic here, but when that stupid moron
Jeffy Bovine = olby sucks = obama–$ = Archie = Fred = Habib = etc. shows up,
remind him that a few times he suggested then Presidential nominee Senator Obama should have been waterboarded.
My offer to waterboard his dumbass is still standing.
$1,000 per second and I will contact MSNBC to bring cameras to his horse milking ranch.
He already pussied away from this bet. So I won’t be surprised if he doesn’t answer.
June 5th, 2009 at 12:44 amGonzo,
June 5th, 2009 at 3:42 amI double dog dare you?
Gonzalez, Bush, Cheney, Feith, Wolfowitz, Rumsfeld, et al.. Get em’ all.

I knew he would still be wallpapering this thread. I take the Holocaust seriously enough not to wear it out. I am not nor have I ever been anti-semitic. I’m agnostic. Why in the world would I be anti-semitic? The assertion that I would “forget” or approve of any persecution and systematic murder is anti-social.
