NEW YORK In an interview to be published this Sunday in The New York Times Magazine, David Igelsias, who was fired by the Bush administration in the U.S. Attorney scandal, tackles a wide range of issues. For one thing, he says he never even received "a little note of thanks" for his service from President Bush.

He says he prays for Karl Rove but doubts that Rove returns the favor, explaining "My understanding is that he is agnostic...The irony is you have this agnostic using the religious beliefs of evangelical Christians for political purposes."

Iglesias, who was the independent-minded U.S. Attorney for New Mexico, has a book coming out about his ordeal, titled In Justice. He calls himself a "disillusioned Republican," saying conservatives have "thrown away their moral compass." He says he will not vote for Rep. Heather Wilson, the Republican who is running for the U.S. Senate in New Mexico, declaring flatly that she can't win: "She's damaged goods."

He also rejects Sen. Pete Domenici's claim that he is stepping down for health reasons, asserting that actually it's "because his legacy was tarnished."

1. Hear that Heatherrrrr: you are damaged goods

as are all republicon homelanders.

The citizens of the USA have seen you in action: REPUBLICON HOMELANDER.

Nobody wants that (except a few kool-aid guzzling freepers).

Take a seat, Heatherrrrr, and watch as Americans restore America.

Heather with her hero, Commander AWOL Bush.

2. Ummm.....

....Heather's the one wearing the earrings, right?

[quiet.american]

3. How anyone could look that pleased to standing next to a psychotic idiot, I don't know. nt

[midnight]

6. She looks like a former nun.

[Dollface]

8. He looks like a former cheerleader

4. this line is interesting

He says he prays for Karl Rove but doubts that Rove returns the favor, explaining "My understanding is that he is agnostic...The irony is you have this agnostic using the religious beliefs of evangelical Christians for political purposes."

hmm.... I wonder if * is agnostic too, and just pulling the chain of so many evangelical christians for political purposes also.

he is that slimy to do it too.

7. "I'll never get out-Jesused again!" Bush said after...

his defeat for the House of Representatives in 1978.

I think that says it all. Plus he lied about Billy Graham converting him. Billy Graham had no recollection. Bush actually "found Jesus" with a disreputable Texas tent evangelist and later changed the story to use Graham's worldwide fame to legitimize his being saved.

9. Oh I've always doubted that * has any sincere religious feelings

I don't think he'd know a sincere feeling if he fell on it with his bike.

But being a user, that he knows all about.

12. Being a sociopath trumps all religions. Bush worships himself as god. nm

[rateyes]

5. I've got to defend Domenici. He is stepping down for health reasons:

Every time his constituents look at him, they get sick to their stomachs. :puke:

[EFerrari]

10. Greg Palast did an interview with Iglesias that is just about perfect

and can been seen in "The Election Files".

Iglesias is a compelling witness.

[NM Independent]

11. It's been a long time, and a huge pain in the ass...

having Wilson and Domenici as our state legislators.

Domenici doesn't listen to his constituents unless they are LOADED, and Wilson is the biggest liar there ever was.

I'm glad that David Iglesias is speaking up and not shutting up. Proud of him.

[Uncle Joe]

13. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread, sabra.
