[Proud2BAmurkin]

I seem to remember it was Ney who changed the name in the Congress cafeteria.

On Edit:

YUP IT'S SCUMBAG NEY WHO CHANGED THE NAME TO FREEDOM FRIES WHILE SELLING FAVORS TO SCUMBAG ABRAMOFF

[hang a left]

1. Dat be him

[Bluebear]

2. On edit, yes, him and Walter Jones-NC

[wordpix2]

3. bwaahhaa! Ney is Mr. Freedom Fries LOL!!!

[neverevergivein]

4. It was the dumbass from NC

[Sydnie]

6. but that dumbass had an epiphany and changed his mind

He personally sent hand written letters to every family in his district that had lost a child. I can't forget what he did, but I can forgive him a mistake.

Freedom Fries, with a side of W Ketchup.

(remember the W ketchup?)

[Jacobin]

8. Yep, and good on him

He is now sorry for his vote and has publicly stated it, even after his idiotic freedom fry thing.

[DinahMoeHum]

12. He's the cover story of the Jan/Feb issue of Mother Jones magazine

www.motherjones.com

You have to be a subscriber to get the full article online, but right now, I'm snipping from the magazine on my lap:

"...With hindsight, it's not one of his proudest moments. "I wish it had never happened" he says now..."


:patriot:

[FreedomAngel82]

17. And he's also so far

the only person who has used Bush's words against him about victory in Iraq (how you need an exit strategy). With the whole Murtha/Hunter debate that happened in the House he was on the side with Murtha.

10. n/t

n/t

[davidwparker]

5. He was one of the smug repugs who helped with the certification of

the electoral votes in the senate.

[FreedomAngel82]

18. He's also "in bed"

with the Christian Coalition I believe. They have their whole agenda for this year and it involves passing some rightwing resolution from him.

[dogday]

7. And now you know why

he was tangled in their web of deceit and lies. He was obligated to further the agenda...

[TheCowsCameHome]

9. He'll be cooking in the Fry-O-Lator very soon.......

[snippy]

11. Do they serve freedom fries in prison?

Ohio democrats should start asking this question.

[0007]

13. How come he hasn't been indicted yet? Or is it about to happen?

[mom cat]

19. Yes, but he will have to ask for the

Heinz catsup!

[Inland]

20. You mean, "felony fries?" nt

[kohodog]

14. They picked it up from Sinclair Lewis, but never read the book!

"It Can"t Happen Here" written in 1935.

"Remember when we called sauerkraut 'liberty cabbage' and somebody actually proposed calling German Measles 'Liberty Measles'?....

Too bad these Republican idiots didn't check their source. More...

"Why, where in all history has there been a people so ripe for a dictatorship as ours!"

"Remember when the hick legislators in certain states, in obedience to William Jennings Bryan, who learned his biology from his pious old grandma, set up shop as scientific experts and made the whole world laugh itself sick by forbidding the teaching of evolution?...

Read the book if you haven't had the chance, it's pretty amazing. These quotes are all on the same page in my copy.

[OffWithTheirHeads]

21. It can't happen here was written in 1935?

I thought it was written by Frank Zappa, circa 1968.

[kohodog]

23. Yes, I wasn't aware that Zappa referenced it,

But he was way ahead of me.

Please do a search for "Zappa, Crossfire" on google and watch his prescient comments if you haven't already seen the show.

[ContraBass Black]

22. It reminds me of 1984.

Victory Coffee tastes like defeat.

[Imagine My Surprise]

15. I may be wrong...

but I believe the current issue of Mother Jones has a front page story on the guy who started freedom fries -- and he's a republican from NC who is now totally opposed to the Iraq war. I forget his name at the moment, the magazine is at my office.

[FreedomAngel82]

16. I thought it was Walter Jones?
