Liberty vs Tyranny



Al Franken

on George W. Bush



"Bush is going down, he is going down, he is going down. And we're going to help him."

"I also focus on Bush and his administration - who do a lot of lying - and how a right-wing media has allowed them to get away with a lot of stuff that, in a different media environment, they probably wouldn't be able to get away with."

"This is the most secretive administration (Bush) and the most radical in terms of being economically right wing and in terms of—well, he just will give anything to his contributors. And I think it will be about that. I think it will be about integrity."

"I was for Gore, but Bush is going to be inaugurated. And all you Democrats and other people who voted for Gore, get behind our new president. He's the president of all of us even -- you know, so support him even though he's kind of stupid and he stole the election."

"I'm angry at the Bush administration; I'm angry at the right wing media. And by that I don't mean the media is right wing. I mean, there is a part of the media that's not the mainstream media. That's Fox, that is "The Wall Street Journal" editorial page. You know who they are. You are familiar with them."

"This president (Bush), the president we have now, ran as a uniter, not a divider. After Sept. 11, he had this amazing opportunity, because the country’s behind him, the world was behind us, and he had a chance to lead the world in to a new American century and in a spirit of mutual purpose and sacrifice and he blew it.”

"I think the president (Bush) -- I think people have to remember back to September 12, 2001. We were the most united we had ever been in our history that I can remember. And we had the world behind us. And I think the president hijacked 9/11 and used it to go to war with Iraq, in a way that was very divisive. And I think he was divisive by holding the-having the vote on the resolution for him to use force right before the election, and the way he used the Department of Homeland Security, which, if you see four years later, he hasn't really taken seriously at all."
