DC buzzing with rumors that Gonzales is quitting tonight

[warrior1]

Start buzzing

http://www.americablog.com/

And to think Bush considered putting this bozo on the Supreme Court. That's how dangerous a president Bush is. And something to keep in mind the next election, that's how important winning the presidency is. No more Harriets, no more Albertos. And no more Brownies and Cheneys and Condis and Rummys and Wolfies...


I'll believe it when I see it.

1. I can buzz too

bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[LSparkle]

2. I thought it was supposed to have happened hours ago ...

Like around 5-6 DC time. Or maybe they're waiting until after all the evening news shows have aired. (Keith O. seems to get a lot of "BREAKING NEWS" during his hour.)

3. I'm buzzing

about the buzzing.

16. Heh, I wanna buzz!

20. Well you are a lot closer to Mexico than most of us

You get the goods and we will come down there and join you in your buzz. :)

4. that's a really good point about how he was on the SC short list

I'd forgotten that.

I wonder why Bush didn't nominate him. It would have been like having his own Mini-Me on the Supreme Court for the rest of his and Gonzo's lives.

5. Maybe because...

...Alito and Roberts will do just the same? :grr:

18. He wouldn't have been confirmed.

6. One can but live & hope.

It would be a good time; friday night news dump plus the comb licker going yesterday. Kind of a two-fer. Get lots admin dirty laundry out the same week.

edited because SCIMBF.

7. When Bush said Gozales was doing a good job,

I figured he was going to get the boot. Only reason he's held on as long as he has is because he knows where the bodies are buried.

8. We can all hope this is true, but how may days was Wolfie quitting?

It seemed like days before he finally threw in the towel

9. If Amnesia is going to go, it will be on a Friday night.

Damn, I was planning to watch monster trucks tonight, and now I have to watch for Amnesia's last breath. Thanks so much Amnesia.

10. We should ask all the candidates to give examples of WHO they would

pick for key appointments, who they plan to put in their cabinet, who they'd put on the SC! I heard that statement on either TV or the radio recently, and it sounded like a TERRIFIC idea! I understand none of them want to pick their cabinet NOW, but they sure could give examples, like "My choice for SCOTUS would be someone like Johnathan Turley."

The closest I've heard from any of them was Hillary saying she would name Bill as Ambassador to the World. I suspect even the people who hate him agree that would be a good choice.

12. Cleaning house of Bush appointees should become a campaign issue n/t

[emilyg]

11. Be still my heart

[Cha]

13. No more, pigs are smarter..

21. Howling Political Neologistics: Gonzolies (verb. nov.) English, May 17, 2007

When Boston Globe reporter Bill Cardoso read Hunter Thompson's "The Kentucky Derby is Decadent and Depraved" he proclaimed "That is pure Gonzo!" Cardoso used the South Boston Irish slang describing the last man standing after a drinking marathon.

"Gonzolies" is the English neologism describing the last man standing after a lying match.

"Gonzo journalism" refers to when an author cannot remove himself from the subject he investigates, often referring to a style of writing a story as perceived in the moment in the mind of the writer. Thompson believed objectivity in journalism was pure myth.

At this thread, adding your neocon neologisms (new words) to the English language much appreciated:

22. Gonzo will resign during the Memorial Day recess.

** will do a recess appointment of someone completely unacceptable. It's his MO, and it could easily happen again. I put nothing past him.
