"It was horrible." -- Abigail Thernstrom

Not nearly as horrible as the torture he has inflicted on others.

"Mukasey was 15 to 20 minutes into his speech about the Bush administration''''s successes in combating terrorism when he began slurring his words. He collapsed and lost consciousness, said O''''Connor, the department''''s No. 3 official."

Right smack dab in the middle of a lie.

Poetic justice if ever there was...

Republicans are dropping like flies. Do you think it is from remorse or God''s wrath?

He probably fell victim to the poison that Rumsfeld let loose on us ...Asparcane, originally made for chemical warfare...The FDA approved it for use in Artificial sweeteners, and prescription medicines in the last days of the Regan years.Its poison and they are giving it to us to speed up the process of eliminating the masses of citizens. Do your own research if you don''t believe.

He is too young of a man for this to happen. It would be interesting to see what prescription drugs he has been taking. Then again they released what Tim Russert was taking.

Ummm, you think he is too YOUNG? Anything, including stroke or heart attack, can happen at any age, 35, 40, there is no "minimum" age for these things. He''s lucky it happened in public where he could get immediate help AND the fact that he probably has good insurance. Otherwise, he would have been S.O.L

"The president has him in his thoughts and will be kept apprised and hopes that he will be back up and at `em again soon."

The "`em" to which the President refers are the shredders in the DoJ.

Mukasey, Fawn Hall on Aricept.

mukasey was in the midst of defending bush''s "reorganization" of the US Constitution into a neo-fascist manifesto where people are permitted to "disappear", or be subject to "enhanced in-terror-gation" -

maybe his stroke came from divine recognition of this mistake?

Mr. Mukasey has glimpsed our Lord and lived. It remains to be seen if he has learned his lesson.

No matter how much you may disagree with someone''''''''s beliefs, it is something that just isn''''''''t done.

Posted by ausus

Some beliefs need destroying and/or killing as do the repositories for them. Idealogically and vicariously, most people seek to do that with words--but God is one, who in His own sweet time, underlines the points of his displeasure. God hates liars and warmongers--scripture makes that very clear. 3 of the most suave foot soldiers of Bush have been struck now--all AGs of Bush. If that position as his law enforcing liar and justifier is not cursed--I don''t know what is. Rove was right to resign--...

Yeah, I think that was what the defendants at Nuremberg said too.

The latest polls show that the mindless morons elected one of their own. Great job, now wait for your unemployment as he pushes us into a depression. YOU are DOOMED.

Posted by Oldmrjim at 12:28 AM : Nov 21, 2008


Bush and his war based on lies already pushed us into a depression--we all know this--the world knows this--we are just hoping Obama knows how to help us tread water and stay afloat in the economic cesspool left by the GOP.

Humanavance,

Are you saying he was a water boarding torturer (if so, give me some places and dates where he is alleged to have performed this) or are you just raving on irrelevantly as usual.

Posted by ausus at 12:24 AM : Nov 21, 2008


Searing Truth is saying that as held of the department that defended and justified waterboarding and other tortures-the buck stopped with Mukasey and as the main body resposible for accountability and investigating had abdicated and excused those acts--Mukasy was the de facto perpetrator in spirit of said acts. In other words, Mukasey validated torture so by extension he is a victim of his own idealogy--ergo he IS a torturer. If you are from the right--you can relate to the biblical quote: "As a man thinketh, so is he". Hope this helps you

HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN TAKING HIS PILLS.MY BE HE HAD ONE TOO MANY TO DRINK, BLOOD SUGAR WENT DOWN??

65 YEARS OF AGE IS NOT OLD BY TODAY''S STANDARDS , BUT WHEN YOU ARE OVER 60 SHOULD TAKE CARE OF YOUR HEALTH.

IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR THEY HAVE GYMS AND EXERCISE FACILITIES FOR THERIER EXCUTIVES WHO ARE MOSTLY OLD.
THEY ALSO MAKE SURE THAT THOSE RUNNING A CORPORATION DO NOT HAVE SERIOUS MEDICAL PROBLEMS.

NOW, SHOULDN''T WE EXPECT THE SAME FROM OUR SENIOR GOVENMENT OFFICIALS WHILE IN THE OFFICE?

I HOPE THAT THE AG RECOVERS AND NOTHING HAPPENS TO HIM. I AM A DEMOCRAT BUT I NEVER HAVE ILL FEEINGS ABOUT ANYBODY, ESPECIALLY ABOUT THE MATTER OF DEATH AND ILLNESS. DEATH WILL VISIT ALL OF SOMEDAY, SOMEWHERE AS A MATTER OF 100 PERCEN CERTAINTY.

GET WELL SOON, MR. AG. IT WON''T BE LONG AND YOU WILL BE OFF THE HOOK. GO VACATION, SPENT MORE TIME WITH YOUR FAMILY, BE A DECENT HUMAN BEING. NOW THAT YOU ALMOS HAD A MEETING WITH DEAT,REMEMBER THAT DEATH IS CLOSER TO YOU THAT YOUR UNDERWEAR.
