It's Friday afternoon news bomb time

[bambo53]

Any guesses as to what controversial information the White House will choose to poop out now, so hopefully we don't notice?

This is only time of the week that they actually almost tell the truth.

1. My guess: Bush will only give one hour of his time to the 9/11 commission

4. Alright, it was posted just before this thread...

I just hope we get a chance to work on it here at DU.

2. My guess: Scooter Libby resigns

The old "more time with family" excuse. They need to distance Libby from the VP before any indictments come down.

(Of course, I anticipated this every Friday for the past 6 weeks or so)

3. I can't even guess

I've been surprised a few fridays in a row now. The only certainty is that there will be a surprise

5. Maybe that horrid ENERGY BILL will be snuck through. They're waiting...n/t

6. answer is 2.75 trillion $$$$$$$ bush budget

By ALAN FRAM, Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON - President Bush (news - web sites)'s budget would produce deficits totaling $2.75 trillion over the next decade, the Congressional Budget Office (news - web sites) projected Friday in the first authoritative look at the plan's longer-range implications.






The forecast — $737 billion worse than the budget office expects should Congress ignore Bush's tax and spending plans — is sure to factor into this year's presidential and congressional campaigns.

Just two years ago, the budget office and Bush envisioned surpluses totaling $5.6 trillion for the decade ending in 2011. The projections released Friday cover a slightly different period, the 10 years running through 2014. Even so, the contrast is striking.
