Fox News Grills Gonzales: “Are You Sir, A Pie A La Mode Man?”
Attorney General Alberto Gonzales has a central role in some very important issues: the domestic spying program, the Patriot Act, and violations by the FBI and DOJ lawyers.

Today, Fox News still found time to question Gonzales on an equally important subject — pies. Watch it:

Transcript:

E.D. HILL: Ok. And finally, we were talking about this state pies. I don’t believe Texas has one. Florida is changing from key lime to pecan pie –

STEVE DOOCY: Yeah, maybe, it’s a big debate.

HILL: Now shouldn’t Texas lay claim to the pecan pie?

GONZALES: Oh, I’ll tell you, I’ve eaten some great — both key lime pie and pecan pie in Texas.

DOOCY: Are you a – if I can ask you a personal question – are you sir, a pie a la mode man, do you prefer ice cream on the top or do you prefer whipped cream?

GONZALES: I’m not a whipped cream fan. I like good old blue bell vanilla ice cream from Texas.

HILL: The best. Ok, well, there’s an answer — thank you.

DOOCY: Alberto Gonzales, the attorney general of the United States and a confessed pie lover.

1. Jesus Christ.

This is media in Stalin's Russia. Not America.

These Commie idiots would rather lay in bed with their government, smearing each other sensually with pie filling, rather than question them. How sad.

[MadHound]

2. Ah yes, journalism at its finest.

How can any journalist live with themselves if they work at Faux? Not that CNN or the others are much better, but my God, with all that is going on, they actually devoted time to finding out the AG's pie preferences:eyes:

No wonder Americans don't know what's going on in their country, the media is too damn busy asking about pie.

[Orsino]

3. "F-ck it--who wants pie?"

This used to be funny back when Miller started saying it. Now it's tinged with a deep sadness.

[magellan]

4. At least we got a small bit of critical info from this

GONZALES: I’m not a whipped cream fan. I like good old blue bell vanilla ice cream from Texas.

Thanks, I won't be buying BLUE BELL products anymore!

You know, back in the turn of the century, this turd would have been hung by his thumbs and laughed at. But like now, the media was controlled by oligarchs who would have hid it all.
