Couldn’t happen to a better guy. Good riddance, let’s get rid of Carville next, I never want to see his face again.

Lieberman and Graham are threatening to shut down the Senateif they don’t get their demand to give the President unconstitutional power to withhold government documents. This is wrong, all of it, and Obama will regret being associated with it. I also predict that the US Supreme Court will refuse to hear the case and the photos will be released.

From the top down. James Comey was one of the only top officials to attempt defending the DOJ from being involved in illegal torture. He failed.

But Gonzales, after sharing Comey’s concerns with the Principals Committee, who included then Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Cheney, Addington, and others, told Comey they were not persuaded by his arguments. Cheney and Addington were pressuring him to have the memos authorizing torture and the combination of brutal methods finalized and signed immediately.”I told [Gonzales] the people who were applying pressure now would not be there when the [shit] hit the fan,” Comey wrote in an April 28, 2005 email. “It would be Alberto Gonzales in the bull’s-eye. I told him it was my job to protect the department and the AG and that I could not agree to this because it was wrong. I told him it could be made right in a week, which was a blink of an eye, and that nobody would understand at a hearing three years from now why we didn’t take that week.”Additionally, Comey said he told Gonzales that he should tell the White House that Comey “had gone on record against this” and that he was willing to bear the brunt of the blame for blocking efforts to get the DOJ to authorize the torture program.”I told [Gonzales] I was leaving and was perfectly willing to catch that spear, as I had in other contexts,” Comey wrote Rosenberg in the April 28, 2005 email.

Keep in mind this was in 2005. At this time broadcasters such as Keith Olbermann were running stories on Bush complicity in torture almost every night, magazine stories were popping up everywhere, and McCain was grandstanding against torture. The Bush Admin, led by Cheney, were trying to use Gonzales and the DOJ to retroactively authorize the illegal torture they had been conducting for years.

It’s interesting to see that Fox News can lie all they want to, when they are “news media” and charged to inform people of the truth, while simultaneously heavy pressure is placed on a cranky individual who wants to fight reality. Inhofe and others can say this on the Senate floor and on national television every day with impunity. Try to imagine working at a Burger King; then imagine working for this particular Burger King franchise owner.

Yeeeehaaaa! Take that, Chairman Maobama and the Feminazis! Say the legislators whose state also hosts the Creationist Museum. Darwinism has now been licensed to do its job in Tennessee, bullet by bullet.
