A representative with class..
From Star Tribune:
"You'll always find this Muslim standing up for your right to be atheists all you want," Ellison, the first Muslim to serve in Congress, said in a speech to more than 100 atheists at the Southdale Library in Edina. As Minnesota's first black member of the U.S. House ends his first six months in office, Ellison did not disappoint a crowd that seemed energized the more pointed he made his opinions.
On impeaching Cheney, which the Minneapolis DFLer supports: "[It is] beneath his dignity in order for him to answer any questions from the citizens of the United States. That is the very definition of totalitarianism, authoritarianism and dictatorship."
On calling the war in Iraq an "occupation": "It's not controversial to call it an occupation -- it is an occupation."
On commuting the prison sentence of Cheney aide Lewis Libby: "If Libby gets pardoned, then he should not have the cover of the Fifth Amendment. He's going to have to come clean and tell the truth. Now, he could get Gonzales-itis [referring to U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales], you know, with 71 lapses of memory within a two-hour period."

Libby come clean and tell the truth, Gonzo having memory lapses 71 times, we will never get the truth, Libby is a proven liar, Gonzo is a proven imbecile.
Dang, if Ellison ever needs a job, he can replace Leno when he retires. ;-)
It was hillarious what Ellison said about Gonzales-itis. But, he was speaking the truth.
