Former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales got the Joe Wilson special last night.

Gonzales was speaking to students at the University of Tennessee at Martin, when someone busted out the same line Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC) heckled President Obama with during a speech to a joint session of Congress in September.

The local Pacer reports:

At one point, Gonzales referred to America’s war on terrorism.

“President Wilson and Roosevelt engaged in massive collections of electronic communications during the first and second world war,” Gonzales said. “The collection performed by President Bush was much more narrow.”

At this moment, a student in the crowd interjected with: “You lie!” After some quiet applause the speech continued.
