Reply #7: Methinks Arlen's Calling Fredo Boooosh's Bluff

[KharmaTrain]

Arlen's the one setting the date here. Yep, I'm sure the White House is going along cause this creates a News Cycle distraction and gets the talking heads to wag their tongues about this mess and not Rove for a few hours.

Remember, Arlen's got a few questions about her qualifications as do several other Repugnican members of that committee. IIRC, there was a group of GOOP Senators who were having their staffers do oppo-research on Harriet. Maybe they're all set to go.

I can't see this regime willing to go forward with the hearings and confirmation without having its house and party firmly in order. Maybe booooosh things he's got the power to crack the whip still on this one. I sure hope he thinks so with a House and Senate leadership in disarray and a White House staff that soon will be spending more time in the Court House than the West Wing.

I'll still stick to my bet this lady will never see a single question before the committee. Expect either a delay or a withdrawl beforehand.
