As reported in the February 9, 2006 episode of The Colbert Report, Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez said the following to the senate judiciary committee regarding President Bush’s wiretapping shenanigans:
“I gave in my opening statement, Senator, examples where President Washington, President Lincoln, President Wilson, President Roosevelt…have all authorized electronic surveillance of the enemy on a far broader scale…”
— Atty. Gen. Alberto Gonzalez
“I can’t believe he said that!? Those are precious state secrets!? No one’s supposed to know about George Washington’s covert electronic surveillance program!”
— Stephen Colbert
Seriously…who the hell appointed that guy?? Oh yeah…the Republicans…what a big surprise…
I must admit I like it when you put stuff in here that sounds ridiculous and it makes me laugh. However I get a bit tired of you going on about politics. Come on, everybody says stupid things, no matter what their political beliefs. (Not to worry, whether you cut back or not, I will continue reading your blog… it’s highly entertaining and one of the few that is actually updated regularly! (cough, Brookie…))
You’re only complaining because you’re a Republican… 😛
But seriously, I guess I comment on these things because I watch (generally) liberal-minded TV like “The Daily Show” or “The Colbert Report” (although, Colbert, in my opinion, tries to sarcastically act like Republican pundits like O’Reilly…which is hilarious…). I see more of these funny mis-speaks coming from the Republican side more than the Democratic side…and thus, I try to mention that so that everyone else I know can see it, too… Either way, I’m obviously quite biased, but the purpose of a blog (or one purpose…) is to bring up interesting conversation that stimulates the transfer ideas amongst readers.
But no…seriously…read this…proof 😛
