- It would be interesting to see how the republiCON trolls like SinginRick and others defend these new allegations.
Just like Tony Snow tried.... "just because he had an appendectomy means his brain wasn't working?" or something to that effect... give me a break.. he was in a hospital bed.. SICK.. and probably drugged up for the pain! You're going to sign something this important while incapacitated?? GIVE ME A BREAK! TONY SNOW, YOU NEED TO RESIGN NOW for being an idiot!
As to Gonzales - what more PROOF do you need now to see he's a slimeball? He obviously wasn't doing this on his own... the President HAS to be behind this.
RESIGN NOW!! OR BE FORCED OUT! - Reply to this comment
- It's truly amazing how this administration fails to learn from the past, and how W. appears to be sleepwalking towards a place beside Nixon in the hall of shame. Both Republicans, both shamelessly manipulative and both apparently stubborn and tone deaf.
Why do people vote for these losers ?
They truly bring out the worst in America, a country that once held the world in awe of it's greatness, now a place of fanatics, religious zealots, gun whackos and hatred , fear etc.
Republicans have ruined America with their intolerance and greed. A great shame of epic proportions.
Can America put itself back together ?
We need an FDR or Churchill, not more of this right wing madness. - Reply to this comment
- Bush: "I have full and complete confidence in Alberto Gonzales. After all, he has been doing exactly what Rove, I mean myself, wants and expects him to do."

- Good plan with the new planet, but a good dictator needs an opposition so we should also send the libs there too so the rest of us here can clean things up.

- Several weeks ago, astronomers had discovered an earth-like planet orbiting a star 40 billion miles away. How about if we load a space ship with the entire Bush family, including George W., along with every "Bush baby" and Republican neo-con in Washington, point it in the direction of that planet and let fly. That way George W can become the "Ming the Merciless" of a whole new world that he can name "George" after himself, naturally and he can declare war on any inhabitants he finds there, calling them "terrrrorists"!

- If everything Bu$h has said in the past six years was a lie, what about that 9/11 demolition?
Was that the biggest lie ever? - Reply to this comment

- Does it really surprise anyone that the Bush administration would badger a sick man in the hospital to sign off on an illegal policy? Bush sets the tone for this adminstration's cowardice and dishonesty. We have never had a more dishonest and cowardly president than W. I just wonder how long it will take America to re-gain its dignity and standing in the world. Immediately after 9/11 we had the support and sympathy of virtually the enitre world. In less than a year President Simpleton had succeeded in turning nearly the entire world against us. The sad irony of President Nitwit's war on terror is that we are less safe than before 9/11. How can any reasonable person not want Bush and Cheney impeached?

- And anyone wonders why we have a rubber-stamp Congress...
Threats, bullying, coersion
While the patient is drugged and in pain...
NeoCons are traitors. - Reply to this comment
- "Because he had an appendectomy, his brain didn't work?" Snow said of Ashcroft. "
And that's why Card and Gonzo chose this particular moment to try and influence his decisions? Because he was incapable of rational thought...Good one guys! - Reply to this comment
- Now the spectacle of Sneaky Gonzales browbeating Ashcroft-- on his hospital bed, no less-- finally comes out.
Apparently, even John Ashcroft and Bob Mueller understood more about the law than Gonzales-- a horrific indictment of the incompetence of some Bush political appointees. Heckuva job, Gonzales!
Ashcroft and Mueller fundamentally questioned the Gonzales brief on NSA spying, but Gonzales' answer was not to defend his point of view, but to attack his critics. Now, this scandal about a political vendetta on US attorneys becomes clearer-- the idea arose with Gonzales, himself. The MO fits, exactly.
This episode reveales Gonzales as an unprincipled, deceitful flak whose incompetent understanding of law and government puts all of us at risk. - Reply to this comment

- What a little slime ball. Lordy, what is this man signing for this President now that he is the AG. Congress needs to move and have this man removed enough with the political football of his inadequacies, if he would make a midnight run to a hospital bed and try to have an ill drugged AG sign documents without authority, against his will and the judgment of the DOJ that the program was illegal, then just imagine what ELSE is this sycophant signing for Bush Cheney that we do not yet know about%u2026%u2026%u2026..I believe we should be very alarmed.

- Typical of this administration and of Republicans in general:
In Gonzalez they have a law breaker for our top law enforcer.
In Wolfowitz, a corrupt politician in charge of an organization trying to stamp out corruption in the world.
In Mark Foley, a pedophile in charge of the House Caucus on Missing and Exploited Children.
In George Bush, an AWOL coward who hid out in Alabama during the Vietnam war a "WAR PRESIDENT.".
In ******** Cheney (aka Deferment Cheney) a draft dodger, the war's greatest cheerleader.
This is the biggest array of scumbags in one place since Nazi Germany. - Reply to this comment
- "Because he had an appendectomy, his brain didn't work?" Snow said of Ashcroft.
Nice try, Tony. The man lies in bed, literally on his death-bed, and you defend the weasels Gonzales and Card heading off to brow-beat a sick man into signing and unconstitutional program? President Bush possesses zero scruples, as evidenced by what "his favorite turdblossom" Rove has done over the years. This serves as simply more proof of how absolutely callous and cold this administration can be. The ends justify the means, and politics trumps all other concerns. The Bush Administration: never let an opportunity pass to trash the constitution, pose for a politically opportune photo-op, or pressure a deathly ill man. Quite a sight to behold, my fellow patriots. - Reply to this comment
