"Soon," he said, "Fitzgerald can't delay this much longer."

CIA Leak Case Heats Up Hazy Summer

<snip>

It would be a stunning blow to Republicans if his talents are not available this fall, when Democrats will challenge them for control of both Houses of Congress. And even though Rove recently lost some of his responsibilities at the White House, the president still relies heavily on him for political advice.

Clearly, this is not an easy call for Fitzgerald. If it had been, Rove would already be cleared or indicted.

Past forecasts of a timetable for Fitzgerald's decision have proved wrong. What is the new forecast? We asked a lawyer who was at one time involved in the case and who does not want to make predictions with his name attached.

"Soon," he said, "Fitzgerald can't delay this much longer."

What does soon mean, we asked.

"Oh," he said, "one hot day when you least expect it."

what a sociopathic dork.

2. When you least expect it, you're elected: you're the star today

You're on Candid Indictment Camera

Doing the Perp Walk.

Just as so many corrupt republicon cronies need to do...

Fa la la la la...

3. Ah, the lazy, hazy crazy, days of summer

Soon...maybe 24 "business days???" :rofl:

I hope it's just in time to keep Rover busy all of the Labor Day through November campaign season!

4. If there is an indictment of Rove, is must come before the midterm...

if it is to have a negative impact on the GOP.

Do tell. :)

6. We're talking about Fitzgerald here.

He has no timetable.

7. "Oh, one hot day when you least expect it." Now if that isn't a

sensational actor's line in a film about this case, I don't know what is.

8. Kinda reminds me of Max von Sydow's advice to Robert Redford

in "Three Days of the Condor."

Something about a car will pull up, the door will open, you'll see a friendly face...

Very chilling.

9. Hi, KansDem. Yes. It just has that cinematic screenplay feel.

I'm "casting" the scene in my head already!

[Garbo 2004]

12. Yeah and the movie ends IIRC with Redford standing outside the NYT.

Cliff Robertson catches up with him there and Redford tells him that he gave the press the story and they'll print it. Robertson's character says something like "What if they don't?" Redford looks shocked as if that never occurred to him. And the movie ends.

10. A great line indeed...

I am so looking forward to that hot day in foggy bottom. (The better for him to sweat, my dear.)

[saltpoint]

11. Yes! "Foggy Bottom" almost rhymes with "Turd blossom," doesn' it.

We need a good songsmith -- fast!
