News Items:Documents contradict Gonzales’ testimony

At the suggestion of a reader I did the comic differently this time. A full strip instead of a bunch of pictures.

Excerpt
Gonzalez: I clarified my statement two days later to the reporter
Schumer: What did you tell the reporter?
Gonzalez: I did not speak directly to the reporter.
Schumer: Oh, wait a second you did not (groans from the gallery) OK, what did your spokesperson say to the reporter?
Gonzalez: I don’t know…..
Schumer: Sir, how can you say you should stay on as Attorney General?….

Republican “moral victory” over the mentally retarded and disabled in Texas…

Excerpt:
Remember that little Texas scandal involving massive rape of children by the officers of the Texas Youth Commission? No? Oh, sorry, was Lindsay Lohan arrested again? Well then, some background:

Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton, both already under siege for other matters, are now being accused of failing to prosecute officers of the Texas Youth Commission after a Texas Ranger investigation documented that guards and administrators were sexually abusing the institution teenage boy inmates.

Among the charges in the Texas Ranger report were that administrators would rouse boys from their sleep for the purpose of conducting all-night sex parties.

HLs Take
What is it the Republicans find so hot about young boys asses? They are just obsessed with them. I guess members of the Texas youth commission must be “good friends” with Texans Gonzalez and Bush. They must all get together for big “parties.” Do they invite young boys to those as well?

The show “Washington Journal” on C-Span, is a call in show where a host takes questions on air.
There are two separate phone lines, one for Democrats, one for Republicans. In this video clip the host takes a couple of questions, then at the end someone calls in about Bush’s executive order banning war protest. The host abruptly cuts him off without explanation. I guess C-Span is no better then CNN, or Fox News, take a look.

Ohio and Florida, are not the only states Republicans tried to steal in 2004. Here is a story about what they did in Wisconsin, which they lost anyway. Where will they try to strike next time?

Milwaukee Election Records Indicate Apparent Forgery, Ballot Box Stuffing in 2004 Presidential Election

After being hidden from the public for more than two years, records reveal apparent forgeries in the first city ward examined
How is it US Attorney Steven Biskupic missed this? Could he have been looking for voter fraud instead of election fraud?

Two years ago these records were voluntarily transferred by the City Election Commission to the joint task force headed up by the “loyal Bushie” US Attorney, Steven M. Biskupic, and the Milwaukee County District Attorney, E. Michael McCann. Then that voluntary transfer was cited as the reason the election records were unavailable for inspection or copying when requested under Wisconsin’s open records law. It offended then and continues to offend me now that the most rudimentary oversight of election administration was denied to me and others.

First, the signatures on the cover pages of the inspectors’ reports look to me to be obvious forgeries. Both the names are bogus (e.g. Joe Doe, Jane Smith) and, in my opinion, are clearly written in the same hand. The hand which “signed” the inspectors’ reports does not match any of the signatures I redacted from the poll book list. Creating false canvass reports is a felony under WI Stats 12.13(2)(b)4.

HLs Take
Kerry won in Milwaukee, and carried Wisconsin barely. He apparently should have won by a lot more. This just goes to show that Republicans were trying to steal the vote in more places then just Ohio. They will be trying even harder in 2008 to steal votes from all over. This is why we have to stay on top of these stories to prevent it from happening 3 times in a row. (4 if you count the 2002 midterms. Republicans will be so desperate for votes they will resort to anything next time. We have to stop them or else.
