Senator Leahy, dumbass! [View All]

What the hell is wrong with our leadership? Isn't this the same guy who thinks torure is hunky dory and that the president has the right to do any damn thing he pleases, well, just because he is the president? And he is going to be our top law enforcer? Heaven help us. I am in some kind of strange, dark nightmare and I will wake up from it. Somebody please tell me that. From the New York Times:

I like him," Senator Patrick J. Leahy of Vermont, the leading Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, said today after a closed meeting with Mr. Gonzales, whom he has known as White House counsel.

"I said jokingly that the president, with the majority he has in the Senate, could have sent up Attila the Hun and got him confirmed," Mr. Leahy said. "But Judge Gonzales is no Attila the Hun; he's far from that, and he's a more uniting figure."
