"Alberto Gonzales has gotten into trouble for firing eight U.S. attorneys for what appears to be political reasons. President Bush said today he still has confidence in Gonzales -- the same confidence he had in Rumsfeld, Scooter Libby, and Michael Brown of FEMA." --Jay Leno

was not a great defense secretary. Dick Cheney, by the way, said he was the best

absolutely wrong. - Bill Maher
Oil, Oil, Everywhere and...
Four years ago
this week, the tanks rolled for what President Bush originally called,
“Operation Iraqi Liberation” — O.I.L.
I kid you not.
And it was four years ago that, from the White House, George Bush, declaring
war, said, “I want to talk to the Iraqi people.” That Dick Cheney didn’t tell
Bush that Iraqis speak Arabic … well, never mind. I expected the President to
say something like, “Our troops are coming to liberate you, so don’t shoot
them.”
Instead, Mr. Bush told, the Iraqis, “Do not destroy oil wells.“

Would You Have a Beer With Bush?
LARRY KING: We
have an e-mail Eva from Helsinki, Finland. "What do you think about George W.
Bush as a private person. Would you like to go out and have a beer with him?"
BILL MAHER: No. Well, yes. So I could get drunk and punch him in the nose. But
that's about it. As a private person. You know, yes. Because
he should
have been the bartender at a 19th hole at a golf club. That was his calling in
life. If his name had been George Bushler, that would be what he was doing.
That's what he's capable of.

The Emails
More e-mails due for release
Monday may shed light on whether the firing of eight US attorneys was
politically motivated, in a deepening controversy that threatens US Attorney
General Alberto Gonzales.
The content of the documents to be released by the Justice Department may play a
key role in determining the fate of Gonzales,
who is under pressure to resign amid reports that his firing is close.

When

I'm interested to know how Mitt Romney is going to spin that. - Bill Maher

Under
Clinton, FEMA was a very effect agency. Under Bush, it's not, the same thing
with Walter Reed veterans -- the guy in charge of Veteran's Affairs...he's a
political hack. His background is in real estate and raising money for the GOP.

George
Bush doesn't know how to run a government. That's the bottom line. He's the top
guy, the buck stops there. But Republicans always run on the idea government is
ineffective and then as someone once said, they get elected and prove it. -
