Thanks a whole hell of a lot, you enabler:
Barry Richard, the lawyer who “achieved fame for his successful representation of George Bush in the Bush v. Gore recount suits, is set to give a speech blasting the Bush administration Saturday night” at the National Association of Former U.S. Attorneys’ (NAFUSA) annual conference.

...I’m a constitutional lawyer. I am concerned with the Bush administration’s assault on American liberties … how the administration deals with habeas corpus and the administration’s posture on electronic surveillance. This administration has gone farther than any other.”

In fairness, in America, every crook has a right to a lawyer, and I doubt even Barry Richard could have realized in December 2000 what Bush would ultimately inflict on America in years to come. Another thing: from the moment the Supreme Court granted cert (improperly, IMHO) in Bush v. Gore, that case was effectively already decided... all that was left was for Scalia to make shit up to go in the opinion. Constitutionally, this case should never have gone to the U.S. Supreme Court; it was a matter of state election law. (Full disclosure: IANAL.)
IANAL...was guessing I Am Not A Loser which made no sense as I scrambled off to get the Urban Dictionary..
Oooohhhhh...I am not a lawyer! Don't have to be a lawyer to know the Supreme Court stepped in when they shouldn't have.
Another group we really need to blame would be those fake concerned citizens who shut down the recount. Every one of those bastards that faked the vote in Florida and then next term in Ohio, who sent out fake flyers in other states, false information to voters, etc, etc, etc. are guilty.
ALL those bastards have this administration's horror on their heads. They cheated and robbed us of our votes so that the Republicans to show the world what they could do, and boy, did they show everybody.
With fanatical support and encouragement of the Republican party and all its minions, the Bush administration broke the world's greatest military, ruined our diplomatic corps, destroyed treaties, slandered our friends, turned our backs on allies, spied on our citizens, ripped up the Constitution, broke the system of checks and balances, gutted our treasury with help of friends in mega corporations, lost an American city, started two, possibly three unnecessary wars with no hope of a solution nor an end, pulled down the division of church and state, destroyed the environment, pulled back on oversight of corporations which promptly poisoned our beef, leaded our children's toys, contaminated our toothpaste.
I don't care if they couldn't see what Bush would do. They foisted this bastard on us and I can complain.
What a guy. Maybe he could now argue in favor of impeachment.
I'd forgive him everything if he did that....
