      Guess he doesn't feel like backing up his comments. The important thing is that he got to bash someone who wrote the truth about Bush! And as we all know, if it's negative and it's about Bush, it's "nonsense"!

    A fox in the henhouse is one thing.

    Putting it in charge of it is a completely different ballgame.

    If you can't tell the difference, I suggest you leave off posting because you're not smart enough for it.

    he fits right in with rice and gonzales and the rest of the bush crew of evil incompetents. after all, if a man who endorses torture can be attorney general, why not a spyware criminal in charge of computer privacy. if you voted for bush, you deserve everything you're getting. if you did't, you shouldn't be surprised anymore. just wait until he repacks the supreme court and illegalizes abortion again.
