Who will be the next Bush administration figure to come in from the cold?
First O'Neill, now Clarke.

The trail has been blazed. Courage breeds courage. Watergate is the template.

Who will come over from the dark side next?

Tenet?
Powell?
Armitage?
Mueller?

1. Powell
That is, of course, if his soull hasn't been completely sucked dry yet.

3. Tenet
I don't think he'll appreciate being the whipping boy.

5. Condi! Wouldn't that be a show stopper!?!
She finally breaks down, asks to testify and lets ALL the dirt out onto the carpet! It would CRUSH the BFEE! Rice has the power right now to totally destroy this Bush Administration. Sadly, she won't do it...her soul has been devoured by Big Biz, and now she is a souless robot. It's hard to think of someone as less than human (cept for Bush & Cheney).

7. That would be something else.
Though I disagree about the "soulless robot" thing, for two reasons.

One, she gets visibly agitated when she's spinning BS talking points -- the much-noted "bobble-head" effect. It looks to me like the cognitive dissonance may be getting to her. Whether she cracks eventually or not, I obviously can't say, but there's nothing soulless or robotic about how obviously the lying is starting to disagree with her.

Two, robots are COOL.

6. Not Mueller. He's been playing cleanup for the BFEE since the 80s.
He was the US attorney who was SUPPOSED to go after BCCI figures that Kerry's committee investigated and exposed. Instead, Mueller dropped the ball, no doubt to cover up for the BFEE. His reward for longtime loyalty......FBI director.

8. Things that make Bush look bad and the rich do not like.
Bush is getting some of the really rich up-tight. They do not like market to bounce around and things not to run smooth. I would say Rice.Maybe they will get rid of Bush? These are people who like to walk on to planes, go and do what they wish and Bush is leaving things a mess.

9. Spence Abraham will admit that he had been lying through his teeth
and that he will say ANYTHING that will help get right wingers elected to any office, anywhere. He will admit that his Federalist Society was invented simply to declare war on America's "little guys", and that all the work he has done for the RNC are actually Holy Sins for which he will beg for forgiveness.
Okay, I'm just kidding! Spence will go down with the ship! Glub Glub Glub Spence!

10. Larry Lindsey (sp?)
AFter all, he was fired for telling the truth. That's gotta sting.

11. Good question...
Powell's soul has been crushed.
Condi is such a lying sack of shit I wouldn't even want her on "our side"

It has to be Tenet. He's the only one who *might* be set up as the fall guy. Of course, that gives him some ulterior motives which Bushco would spin hardcore.

Ooh, how about Laura Bush? She's clearly the Nick to W's Jessica.

12. Powell...

13. Ari Fleisher
He'a smart sum-bytch, and if he senses the Dumbya house of cards collapsing, he'll be the first one to go running to tattle to cover his butt and ensure high speaker fees for life.
