18. (GMTA) But that'd be disposing of toxic waste. They'd have to do it ...
... before leaving Texas air space. (Unless they fly over Mississippi or Alabama.)

6. DeLay's friends all maxed out their credit cards
The closer Bush and DeLay get, the more corrupt Bush will look.

7. And DeLay will land in Washington one flight closer to being toast.
This will be the flight in which Bush kisses his old friend on the cheek and says "sorry, I've got to throw you under the bus. It's nothing personal, my friend, but you're hurting business."

Then Scott McClellen will come out and tell us some made-up version of what they want us to think happened, as Rove ratchets up the cadence of Delay's death march.

13. No surprises here...
After all, DeLay needs SOMEBODY to pay for his plane flights -- it sure ain't gonna be the congressman himself! :)

14. Here's what the first line of the press release will say
"In a freak accident over the heartland, one of the exit doors to the presidential aircraft flew open without warning, sucking Rep. DeLay, who was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the incident, out without warning...."

NTSB investigating, family condolences, blah, blah, blah....

Far fetched? AbsoLUTELY! But so is this so-called gub-mint!

23. Bush is truly sick
Another thumbing of the nose with the middle finger at the people. His mental health is questionable. It will come out later how unstable Bush truly was (is). Just a few things have gone wrong or are in the course of going wrong and the murdering thug is being more unstable than usual these days.

We are truly in danger, so watch closely who is showing the courage to stand up and challenge the bastard openly and say what needs to be said. That person should be president and so far Reid's ahead of Dean on that score.

28. Maybe he'll be an "acrobato"
Back in the 80s, the Colombian cartels were rumored to dangle potential witnesses by the neck from helicopters, circling over villages and what not to warn others that they could become "acrobatos" too. It's a nice image anyway: Tommy Boy just danglin' and dancin' while Georgiepoo slams golf balls out an open door of the plane. "Now watch this drive!"
