ACLU Director: "Eight days from now, the very worst president for civil liberties -- is history!"
ACLU head: Worst civil liberties president about to be history
David Edwards and Muriel Kane
Published: Tuesday January 13, 2009

The executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union is delighted that President George W. Bush is finally leaving office.

"Eight days from now, the very worst president for civil liberties -- is history!" Anthony Romero exclaimed exuberantly as he began an interview Monday with Comedy Central's Stephen Colbert.

"I can't wait till this man who's currently the president is cleaning brush at Waco," Romero continued. "A man who has allowed torture and abuse. A man who has put people in Guantanamo with no legal recourse."

"A man who has kept America safe!" interjected Colbert, in his best fake-conservative pundit manner, demanding to know whether Romero really wants to close Guantanamo.
