Gonzo Back From the Future

Well, I couldn't resist. Of all the stuff I've read about Gonzo misstatements these two paragraphs are the funniest:

The Blog | Bob Cesca: BREAKING: George Washington Tapped Phones! | The Huffington Post:

"Attorney General Alberto Gonzales said Monday: 'President Washington, President Lincoln, President Wilson, President Roosevelt have all authorized electronic surveillance on a far broader scale.'

Three questions here. How did President Washington generate the 1.21 gigawatts of power required to fire up the flux capacitor in his souped up DeLorean time machine? Did he use the Mr.
Fusion modification to get up to the requisite 88 miles per hour? And, as Atrios asked, what war was he fighting during his presidency which enabled him wartime executive powers? Strike that. I forgot. Washington fought with John and Sara Conner in the war against cybernetic organisms -- unsuccessfully since one of them would go on to become governor of California."
