Sincere apologies for my #126 last night!
Thanx for fixing it up so the thot’s still there, & the toobz are cooled off.
Weak moment there – promise to be good from now on. ;->

In some way, I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop. . . .

I tend to look down the road at things. My concern is of the US Attorneys that are being replaced for no apparent reason by Bush’s political hacks (thanks Arlen). There is a reason they are being replaced and it’s not what we are being told. The Justice Dept released an article today that says this is coming from the White House, not them. I am just glad that Fitz started this trial when he did. If he does in fact have other sealed indictments still under wraps, what becomes of those indictments if, GOD FORBID, he joins the ranks of those recently dismissed US attorneys? . . .

They can’t do it.

Fitz’s position is unusually secure. I just hope he uses it to full advantage.

This was the plan all along, I’ll bet: Bust the budget with Billions for War in order to starve the “social program” budget that the Repugs hate so much. Bush’s “balanced budget” means more for “guns,” less for “butter.” He’s using the Dems talk about balanced budgets against them, daring them to cut war costs, to force them into cutting social programs.

You may well believe that but I couldn’t possibly comment.

It’s no more accurate to say that it’s not Nader’s fault than to say that you could have won a close race with better training and effort, so that ten-pound-weight you had to carry had nothing to do with it.

I wonder if Ned Lamont would have won on Connecticut if Liebermann hadn’t thrown in his lot as an “Independant”?

I’m sure that he didn’t siphon away any votes from Lamont. Those that voted for him were probably all Libertarians and disenchanted voters that wouldn’t have voted anyways.

I. Lewis Libby’s first name is Irving. IRVING! IRVING! How do ya like that, IRVING?

Proves the poor memory that he has. When asked, he says…”My name is Scooter”…but eventually he recalls it’s “Irving”. He’s worked real hard to forget some things, it seems!

The only way I see Cheney testifying is if it’s his testimony that provokes the Constitutional Crisis – because short of Bush being able to ‘wave his magic wand’ and declare that wrong is right, the Truth – however slowly it may unfold – will eventually convict BushCo.

Without the big showdown, we are in for days and days of Scooter talking real slow and saying ‘he doesn’t remember’ – a lot, as he trolls for a reversible point.
