Sorry folks been a busy few days otherwise I would have let you all hear me cackling over this since the 7th.

Actual quote from Attorny General ALberto Torquema ... err I mean Gonzales during congressional hearings about the wiretaps:

"President Washington, President Lincoln, President Wilson, President Roosevelt have all authorized electronic surveillance on a far broader scale."

Yeah ... because Washington was all about wiretapping phones.

Remember folks. Those who don't know history are doomed to look stupid. Sadly, in this country it also seems to get them appointed to positions they have no legitimate right in holding.
