    But how can I be sure that my domestic spying defense will get the specialized, individual attention that Attorney Gonzales brought to his reviews of clemency requests from Texas death row inmates?

    When I've been charged with violating millions of people's civil liberties, I need to know that my attorney will provide me with the full fifteen minutes that my case deserves!

    THE RAVIN' (ravin' of the Justice Department, that is)

    Once, one day, when I was napping
    I awoke to hear a tapping
    Tapping on my telephone
    It must be true -- I wan't stoned.

    My conversations they were hearing
    I've lost my privacy, I'm fearing
    Will I have my rights like before?
    Gonzalez answered, "Nevermore!

    "It's terrorists you should be fearing,
    Not whether at you I am peering
    Your concerns are such a bore
    I'll leave you alone nevermore!

    "Congress are wimps, their laws are useless
    Me and Bush you should accuse less
    Whatever they say we'll ignore
    The law shall apply nevermore!"

  4. Blogimi Dei   20 years ago

    Did you hear the last batch of BS from Bush? He's all upset that We The People have the nerve to get upset when they get their "protection for us" wrong. Then he is also upset that when they "connect the dots" AND STILL GET IT WRONG, that we have the Ultra-Gaul to be upset in that situation too.
    What an asshole!
    He looks like some out-of-control asshole grandfather. His hair all jacked up. Hunched over, preaching to all...

    Hey go fuck yourself Mr. Bush!

    we have the Ultra-Gaul to be upset in that situation too.

    Behold: The Ultra-Gaul!

    Don't make him upset!

  6. joe   20 years ago

    Yeah, I hear he's got a posse.

  7. Sphynx   20 years ago

    Steveo & Joe:

    While I like the Ultra-Gaul, wouldn't that be less a posse, and more a memorial society, as: ...Andre the Giant died in Paris, France in his hotel room on January 27, 1993.

  8. joe   20 years ago

    Sphinx,

    Obey.

  9. Cartman   20 years ago

    Milton, that is priceless 😉

  10. Senior Gonzales   20 years ago

    You weren't supposed to know about my law firm! You must be working with terrorists!

  11. kevrob   20 years ago

    Here is the real Ultra-Gaul!

    Kevin
