DON'T FORGET FITZGERALD!!!!

[Tesla]

Now we know why he picked a SC nom at 8 a.m.
Busy Newsday, didn't want the News to start off with Miller, Libby, Rove!!!!

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

1. On the Today Show they said the reason why he selected 8AM was

to catch more women watching than anyone else.

12. I thought he made the announcement in the morning, because it's the

most sober he'll be all day. MKJ

2. Bingo

We have a winner.

Even if the nominee is a red herring, Bush had to throw something out there to distract from his legal problems.

That's alright, Dems can walk and chew gum at the same time.

3. Sounds like this woman

might have cleaned up Bush's Guard records in 98. There's a recent post on this subject around here somewhere ....

I think Bush is hoping she'll clean up any mess Fitzgerald brings forth as a result of his investigations. The Cleaner is in the house, troops. It ain't about the news cycle.

4. I think 1, 2, and 3 are correct.

They wanted to catch the women, distract from Plame, and bring in their ringer...it's a convenient time for a number of reasons.

I hope to God something comes of that investigation. Reuters said that Fitzgerald could signal his intent sometime this week. We'll see.

5. "Don't forget fitzgerald!!!"

Harriet Miers is a red herring. She's flattered to be chosen, but she's just meat to be tossed to the dogs to fight over to keep attention diverted from the Fitzgerald storm to come.

It's predictable what the Dems will do. It's predictable what the Rethugs will do. It'll be a brawl and a splendid distraction. In the end, after weeks and weeks of pounding and thrashing, she will be rejected, and Bush will come up with his real choice: Gonzales.

[Tesla]

6. Exactly!!!

SHe is just there as a diversion.


All he talked about was her lawyering.....
I thought the Lawyers wer all Liberal to them...

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

9. and then we'll fight that one too and it will become clear

that Bush is incapable of appointing anyone to the Supreme Court where he does not place personal loyalty to him over loyalty to the country and the Constitution. I don't care if we have to fight 10 crappy appointments. Bring on the fillibuster. Frist has self-disemboweled himself, Delay is on the ropes. I say BRING IT ON!!!

[peekaloo]

10. That was my first thought, too. A sacrificial lamb.

or is that a sacrificial ewe? }(

18. Hi azygous!!

[lonestarnot]

7. FORGET? *#@$^@ On pins and needles over here! Forget?

[Mr_Spock]

8. This is a "red meat" post

:rofl:

[lonestarnot]

14. What's dat?

[in_cog_ni_to]

11. Is Fitzgerald suppose to do something today?

I've not watched any news for a few days or been on DU. What's happening with Fitz? What did I miss?

[Tesla]

13. With Judith Miller out of jail,

he is allowed to go on with his indictments!!!

[in_cog_ni_to]

15. PLEASE G-D! Let it be the entire Bush administration!

Wouldn't that be sweet?!

[Tesla]

16. SWEET!

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

17. Arianna Huffington is speculating that Fitzgerald wants an extension

of the grand jury.
