Mukasey: Rep. Moran Has ‘Lost Touch With Reality’ And Should ‘Get Professional Help’ From Maj. Hasan

[Are_grits_groceries]

Last week, Rep. Jim Moran (D-VA) came out in strong support of Attorney General Eric Holder’s decision to prosecute the five 9/11 defendants in U.S. federal court and sharply criticized Republicans who were attacking the decision. “They will seize on any opportunity to , and that means they’ll even take a stand that’s un-American. It’s un-American to hold anyone indefinitely without trial. It’s against our principles as a nation.”

Former Bush attorney general Michael Mukasey is one of the Republicans who has been speaking out against Holder. Last week at a Federalist Society conference, Mukasey said that holding the trial in Manhattan increased the risk of a terrorist attack on the city.

In an interview with Washington Times radio this morning, the hosts asked Mukasey about Moran’s comments. Mukasey responded by suggesting that the congressman “get professional help” from Maj. Nidal Hasan:

Q: Congressman Jim Moran of Virginia says anybody that questions KSM coming to New York City for a civilian trial — that they’re un-American. What is your reaction to that?

MUKASEY: I think he’s lost touch with reality. He ought to get professional help, perhaps from Maj. Nidal.

This is his idea of humor?

1. I suggest Mukasey get a new comedy writer. His show's been cancelled.

Whatever remains of the Bush-Cheney regime is going to come unglued when the American public comes to realize that al-Qaeda was still being run by the CIA and the Bush White House right up to 9:02 am on 9/11/2001.

2. One thing the republicans have forgotten

THEIR DAY OF BEING CALLED TO TASK WILL COME. And the first one is in November 2010. Most of the people in this country are intelligent, caring and don't like the type of rhetoric they are spouting.

Of course the crass, stupid bunch that are against democrats no matter who, are the type that are against everybody that doesn't look or think like them.

3. What a despicable comment!

But, just like a repuke. If someone disagrees with them...they think the person should be killed.
