College student shouts ‘You lie!’ to Alberto Gonzales during speech.

Former Bush attorney general Alberto Gonzales recently spoke at the University of Tennessee at Martin about “Living Legal History: Working with the White House, the Department of Justice and the Supreme Court.” Gonzales received a “mixed” response from students and residents, and he had a Joe-Wilson moment when a student interrupted his speech and shouted out “You lie!”:

At one point, Gonzales referred to America’s war on terrorism.

“President Wilson and Roosevelt engaged in massive collections of electronic communications during the first and second world war,” Gonzales said. “The collection performed by President Bush was much more narrow.”

At this moment, a student in the crowd interjected with: “You lie!” After some quiet applause the speech continued.

Gonzales is currently a political science professor at Texas Tech, where students and faculty have protested his appointment. (HT: TPM)

I'm sure he still has a ranch or two back in Wyoming, but I doubt he goes there much.

5. Oh, man! Gonzo was "wilsoned!"

:rofl:

But he's still pulling in a salary and benefits that would make the rest of us green with envy! :grr:

6. Has anyone in that administration had

to pay for his or her bad conduct? The only one I can think of is Scooter Libby and the only reason I think he was not pardoned is GWB was not fond of him.

9. Sweet. A shoe toss and it would have been perfect!

A big thank you to the person who interjected. Before the confusion begins, if there had been official 'non-call out' rules on the floor that all in attendance had agreed to prior to the event then I would be opposed to the call out. General rules of decency do not apply here as those rules were shit on and burned by the administration that the giggling Gonzales represented.

12. I wonder if Gonzo ever got over his situational amnesia?

He had it bad during the latter years of the corrupt and evil BushCo Regime.

13. He'll never remember this

That's why he's always smiling like that. He can't remember shit.
