Rep. David Obey on Alberto Gonzales:“He’s one sneaky, lying S.O.B., to put it bluntly. He’s the most authoritarian attorney general in the history of the republic. He’s the most dangerous. I never thought I’d long for the days of John Ashcroft.” (Via CongressDaily, sub. req’d)

3. That seems to be the consensus. Now what is the new congress

going to do about it? I don't want to hear how wrong it is anymore. We see it in action via Georgia Thompson's imprisonment.

4. He should include dickHead and george in that statement. Birds of a feather...

5. Then why did you allow the vote to go forward to give this man more power??

ya know bullshit is bullshit..Obey is a pretty powerful congressman..why did he not try to stop the vote from going to the floor to give Gonzo more power spying on us...bullshit after the fact just does not cut it for me..we have all known how dangerous and what a lying sack of .......gonzo is..and i sure would have fought to keep that vote from going forward...why didn't Obey??????????

the powder is so damn dry it is blowing in the wind!

7. Considering the power Bush insisted be invested in the AG to spy, AGAG must now go!1

One more good reason to get Gonzo outta thjere is the new responsibility of the AG to determine who gets spied on w/o a warrant.

6. When anyone longs for the days of Ashcroft, things have gone seriously wrong...(n/t)

[gratuitous]

8. So you're filing articles of impeachment, Mr. Obey?

I'm with you on your opinion concerning Mr. Gonzales. Unfortunately, I'm not a member of Congress, so I can't file articles of impeachment. But YOU ARE. Get with it, pally, or don't waste my time telling me what I already know.

10. And so before vacation we decided to grant him unchecked powers to spy on Americans.

[Catherine Vincent]

11. How weird.

When I first read that, I thought Obey was talking about Karl Rove.
