Fitzgerald calling more witnesses and announcement on THURSDAY?

[NYCGirl]

The Aides Are Turning

Word on the rainy streets of Washington is that Patrick Fitzgerald will be recalling some witnesses soon. Conflicting word is that he will announce indictments Thursday. Whatever the case, things are ugly and it's not just the weather. The White House has been lashing out at Fitzgerald (awkwardly and belatedly), but not all the ire is directed outward. There are signs that individuals within the administration have caught a serious case of CYA. Last week's LAT article had White House sources painting Scooter Libby as a fringey pitbull, having to be all but tied to an aspen to keep from pissing Joe Wilson's leg. Could more backbiting follow? According to a reporter intimately familiar with White House operations, "these slimy thugs are turning on each other like runner-up beauty queens." Which at least explains the sash and tiara in Rove's garage.

1. "Runner-up beauty queens," indeed. That girl has a way with words!

4. lol...that's just what I was getting ready to say .... she's one of a kind

I get a kick out of reading her stuff.

6. "Slimy thugs" indeed! NT

2. This is why Fitzgerald is waiting them out

Just sit back and let them dig their own graves. They seem to be doing quite a good job of it.

Must feel good to have these bastards by the balls.

9. All Fitz has to do at this point is pass out shovels

and let them dig the holes themselves. I just hope he doesn't go too easy on them in return.

10. Oh yes!

This is going to be good! :popcorn:

12. I love Fitzgerald.

I just love that man!

[Walt Starr]

3. That's why all the stories we've been readin are leaks coming from

defendents.

[MsKandice01]

5. This is beyond frustrating.

[NYCGirl]

8. I hope, though, that if he feels he needs to call more witnesses that

he's preparing an airtight case!

[BOSSHOG]

11. Hang in there

We've waited more than two years, we can wait a few more days. Fitzgerald is using his time wisely. If it makes you feel any better consider the frustration in the white house. Actually that should make you chuckle.

19. it makes me

:woohoo: :rofl: :bounce:

all at once!

[DougieZero]

7. well... the whole thing expires Friday..so...uhhhh...

You can't really cut it any closer...

[LSparkle]

17. I had a nightmare that they extended the GJ ...

I want him to have a good case, but I've been on tenterhooks (is that the right word?) since midway through last week ... I'd better switch ot decaf until Friday.

13. This is getting like a waiting room full of exptant Dads

trying to figure out if their wives are going to spit out twins, triplets of other multiples and looking at each other wondering who's the father of any of them!!! Heard last night that Fitz isn't married--maybe this is why the syndicate is having trouble getting to him unless they downright put a contract on his head. Come on Fritz, poop something out already.........

[hang a left]

14. well crap...

I think I'll take a nap.

[Jersey Devil]

15. Would that make "Thursday" into "Turdday"?

It would be fitting, in memory of Turdblossom. :evilgrin:

[meganmonkey]

16. Oh, even the thought of Turdblossom being merely a 'memory'

makes me swoon :loveya:

[NNN0LHI]

18. I said I thought last week Fitzgerald would extend the grand jury

I think the same thing this week. Its the Repugs who want to bring this to a head now before next years elections. Lets take our time here and do this thing right.

20. As eager as I am to hear the outcome, I agree with you. NT

[bpilgrim]

21. i think you're right... if it is true that the scope is expanding

i would think he needs more time :shrug:

peace
