'Cuomo' angers Bush

President Bush was so angry when Acting Attorney General Jim Comey blocked his secret program to spy on Americans, he called the former Manhattan prosecutor a name no red-blooded Republican wants to hear - Cuomo.

Bush dubbed Comey after former New York Gov. Mario Cuomo, a staunchly liberal Democrat, Newsweek reported this week.

Comey, who was filling in for ailing then-Attorney General John Ashcroft when he questioned the legality of the eavesdropping program, later resigned.

Bush likes to give nicknames to friends and aides, but they usually reflect a measure of presidential affection.
Neither Comey nor Cuomo could be reached for comment.

little creep that plays god.

Comey is acting like a scare dog with his tail attached by crazy glue between his legs.

had the AG's powers to investigate further than just the leak?

And the same one who stood up to King George and said no wiretaps, I'm not going to sign off on your program?

How is he acting like a scare dog?

It sounds to me that this guy waged a one man battle against the excesses of this administration during his time in the Justice Department.

He also was the honest man responsible for appointing another honest man, Patrick Fitzgerald, who has been unravelling who in this administration blew the cover of yet another honest man, Joseph Wilson's CIA Agent wife.

He deserves better.

be played out like a very well planned rugby play. People are going to have to run with the ball for short distances and pass it, right before they get tackled. A smart man would already know who he was going to pass it to, before he got the ball.

and Tony Russo did. They faced a ton of jail time to get the Pentagon Papers.

Perhaps your right, he does deserve better? But so do we, when the chips are down, and our rights are on the table. What do I know? :shrug:

Comey = HERO

Bush = ZERO

though an unintentional one for having some hint of integrity.

How dare that underling question the divine mandate of the Emperor!

Pickles is OK? Yet another sign of the dumbing down of the presidency.

At the rate he is going I'll qualify soon.

i am willing to bet he was pushed out since he was not in lock step with the bush bandits.

nightmares!
