Al Franken: "Maybe this can be dragged out until the 2006 midterms"
Happy Fitznukkah, Everybody!

Al Franken

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/al-franken/happy-fitznukkah-everybo_b_9721.html

hat's right -- it isn't a one-day holiday like Fitzmas. This could go on and on. One day a great gift like Libby, the next day a pair of socks (Ari Fleischer), the next day, who knows: maybe an Xbox 360 (Karl Rove)! Maybe this can be dragged out until the 2006 midterms. Anyway. Boy, did he lie! Wow. That. Is lying. Hoo boy.

And how about Rove telling the press he was going to have a great Friday and a great weekend? They can't even not lie about what kind of weekend they're going to have.

The only disappointment was the lack of a "treason" indictment. Looks like thirty years is the most Scooter will get. But who knows? He might get squeezed and end up ratting out the other guys, and get only eight to twelve.

It occurs to me that all of this may be about covering up the phony rationale for the march to war. One of you enterprising "bloggers" should look into that. Here's a clue: At one point, Cheney told Tim Russert, "there's no doubt that Saddam has reconstituted his nuclear program." If that statement could be proven false, that might provide the motive for smearing Joe Wilson and his wife, Valerie Flame.

1. Lasting until the mid-terms is not unreasonable.
Most of these cases take months just to get started, and if there is a trial, that's longer yet.

4. I think it'll go on
at least the next few months if that. I don't think it'll go that long. We can use this as a national security issue though. ;)

5. how long did the pugfascs draw that Arkansas land deal out?
just wait til the media starts in on the pugline about dems and their "criminalizing policitics", doing their work for them, just in reverse, this time, by protecting, as best they can the criminals in office

from witch hunt to whitewash...doesn't take much, does it?

6. "Had Enough? Vote Democratic"
Hopefully someone's cranking off those bumper stickers and t-shirts as I type. It's the only 2006 talking point we need !

10. MSM will have to do it.
They must keep hearing the facts about the case, over and over. We have to keep reminding them of the severity of the charge, lying before a Grand Jury and the first WH official indicted in 130 years. When they start their diatribe about moral values remind of the facts.
