Indictment Wake Thread: How Do You Remember Our Dearly Departed Friend?.

[DistressedAmerican]

It is good to see you all here. The indictment would have liked that.

People seem like they need to share. :rofl:

I'm here to listen people.

It was a great criminal indictment. A glorious rectification of at least one of the wrongs done to this nation by the criminals in the Whitehouse. It was set to shake the halls of power. It was set to launch a string of subpoenas and discoveries that would have led to the unraveling of the entire lie behing the tragic invasion of Iraq. But, without warning it was snatched away from us.

We will have to await the results of the autopsy before we know exactly what happened.

But, we know this, it died far to young and suddenly. It will be deeply and sadly missed.

Have a drink my friend. :beer:

How do you remember our beloved Rove indictment?

What were your hopes and dreams for it as it matured and grew?

I'll be in the back sobbing quitely if anyone needs me....:cry:

:evilgrin:


ON EDIT -

I scrounged us up some appropriate bagpipe music:

[Bonobo]

1. I remember him when he was this big...

[DistressedAmerican]

11. Huge for his age.

Cut a stunning image.

A real indictment's indictment. :rofl:

[lonestarnot]

2. Haven't seen all of the details, but it's possible I see it off in the

distance. :evilgrin: Indictment by the People and For the People.

[Jackpine Radical]

3. I think maybe the indictment died in a good cause.

Assuming it's really dead. I haven't seen the body yet. But if it's dead, maybe it fell in order to bring Scooter & Sneer to justice. Maybe it died so that Rove will testify, and maybe it died so that an unindicted Rove will be more credible to the jury or juries before whom he will be testifying.

And maybe, if Rove doesn't roll over like he said he would, the indictment will be brought out of hiding.

[MichiganVote]

4. Is this an Irish wake? Because I like to know who I'm drinking for....

the demise of the indictment or the hopefully soon to be gone threads about Truthout?

[DistressedAmerican]

5. Our Dearly Departed Indictment.

TO will sort itself out. I prefer to stay out of that and remember the positive things, the good times we had with the beloved indictment.

He worked for us. We drink to him! :toast:

[Canuckistanian]

6. He was a litlle shaky at the end

But he brought joy when he was here. I'll miss him.
:cry:

[lonestarnot]

8. Here's to gd departed indictment!

:toast: :beer:

[Canuckistanian]

14. To DI!

:toast: :beer:
I'll miss the old bastard.

[lonestarnot]

16. Bottoms up laddie/lass.

:beer:

[DistressedAmerican]

18. Hear! Hear! To Dear DI!

:toast:

[Binka]

32. I'll Miss The Little Fucker

He stunk of cat piss and Pall Mall's but he sure knew how to polka! :toast:

[DistressedAmerican]

45. LOL!

I didn't even know he knew how to polka! The things you find out once it's too late!

[Viva_La_Revolution]

7. gotta have food...

I'll bring the frozen pizzas and whiskey.

:evilgrin:

:hi:

[DistressedAmerican]

9. Damn You Are Right. Everything Was Just SO Sudden.

I have not had time to really get this event together. Some chips would be great too if you can manage it.

Thanks so much for the help!:toast:

[lonestarnot]

10. don't forget the gd popcorn!

:popcorn: and the violin :nopity:

[Kurovski]

25. I love how you categorize "whiskey" as "food"!

:D Well, strictly speaking, it is corn.

[Viva_La_Revolution]

26. I was brought up to eat my vegetables.

:rofl:

[Kurovski]

28. Distilling just kills the germs and makes it a concentrated "super-food."

:D Again, strictly speaking, corn is a grain in the grass family.

So it's more like "grass" than a vegetable. :smoke:

[lonestarnot]

12. 5 crashcart testimonials too! All to no avail.

or was it 6? Oh God not 6... and two more that's 666. :evilgrin:

[Patsy Stone]

13. Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears;

I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him.
The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interred with their bones;
So let it be with Caesar.

Now to the trial...

[Rex]

15. Screw the indictment

it got what was coming to it! I wanna know just what the hell happened to the gavel? It pounded and pounded in vain. Does anyone even remember the gavel? Alas, no. :(

[DistressedAmerican]

17. Do We Need To Call You A Cab?

Or do you just want to take it straight outside!

Although my friend, you have a point about that damn gavel. Screw it!

Another beer?

[lonestarnot]

19. here here more beer

:beer:

[Rex]

20. Sounds good!

A quick fight and then another round for the house!

:beer:

:toast:

[lonestarnot]

21. No goddamn fight'n in here! Just drink'n! Peace on your ass! and

more beer :beer:

[chimpymustgo]

22. K & R. Indictment...we hardly knew ya. Just paying my respects.

This is a very funny thread.

[BeFree]

23. It may have worked its charm

The very idea spread like a wave over the ocean.
It may have made the right ones do the right motion.

We may never know, or hear the detail,
but listen to this it may make you rail

Rover got scared and his aspens he did sell.

[DistressedAmerican]

24. Ah The Aspens! So Connected At The Roots!

Great post/toast!

Departed Indictment would have loved it! :rofl:

[Kurovski]

37. That's a beautiful tribute to The indictment.

You know--and I'll never forget this--The indictment once took me aside when I was feeling low and whispered to me "Rove sucks big buckets of Baboon balls."

The indictment always knew the right thing to say.

[Kurovski]

27. Just look at The indictment laying there, so life-like.

Why, It's almost as if The indictment will sit up and say something.

[lonestarnot]

30. Good make-up job not?

[Binka]

33. Oh Snap It's Wearing Bobbi Brown

Of course it looks GOOD!

http://www.bobbibrowncosmetics.com/home.tmpl?ngextredir=1

[Kurovski]

36. The indictment always was a looker.

Attractive to both men and women.

The indictment won many a heart.

[DistressedAmerican]

54. Maybe I'm Dunk. But, I'll Admit It.

I found myself kind of attracted to him myself.

(Please don't tell my wife!) :rofl:

[Kurovski]

79. The indictment had a magnetism beyond the sexual.

I'm not sure what your own personal fantasies were about the indictment--we all had them of course--but your secret is safe with me. :D

Edit: Maybe? MAYBE you're drunk?!! :rofl: Wait here while I get you some coffee, DistressedAmerican.

[bettyellen]

34. ROFL...

[Kurovski]

39. Yes, that 's good, bettyellen. Let us laugh today.

The indictment would have wanted it that way.

So full of promise, so young, so much left unsaid...

[Binka]

40. The Indictment Went Out In A Blaze Of Glory (PIC HEAVY)

He arrived in his helicoptor in the North of England



Fucking up the cricket match



Peyton examined him very carefully



We thought we saw him again in Leeds



But alas it turned out we were chasing sheep



And there at Bolton Abbey



We found his tomb



By then we were really sick and tired of the fucker so we went to watch England play in the world cup. GO ENGLAND!



Just wanted to show my lovely holiday snaps! DUer tenshi816 and I had a BLAST togrther in North England.

[Kurovski]

41. The beautiful green has soothed my sorrows.

How The indictment would have loved to have been there!

(Faves...You & Peyton at the crosswalk, and the lamb & Peyton photo.)

[Binka]

42. It Was The Most Perfect Weather In 25 Years For June 1

Peyton & Aidan son of DUer tenshi816 (who will marry in 2028) A DU couple fer sure! Dig the legs!

[DistressedAmerican]

46. Very Nice Shots!

I love the Leeds shot. You look like you are having a grat time. Again, I think that is how our friend would want it. He certainly would not want us at each other's throats.

You rock!

[idgiehkt]

29. you are so silly.

you made me laugh, and I didn't think that was possible after all these nasty threads today.

[LiberalHeart]

31. I vote against cremation. Let's bury it because....

...we may want to dig it up someday and use it, if more info emerges.

Meanwhile, take heart. The indictment will live on in spirit, in the Wilsons' lawsuit.

[Kurovski]

35. Something good will come out of this tragic death.

As sure as we're all drunk off our ass, it will.:-) *hic!*

[Hekate]

38. Pardon my late arrival, friends. I bring a casserole; we need ballast for

...the whiskey. :beer: I bring Bushmills, too.

DI looks so lifelike lying there. :cry: Brought us such joy while alive. :beer:

But we must move on. :beer: DI would have wanted it that way.

Not to be ghoulish, but do you know if DI was an organ donor? :beer: It's a lovely thought that some other poor indictments might be given new life if so.

A toast! A toast! :cry: :beer:

Carry on, friends, carry on.

Hekate
:hangover:

[DistressedAmerican]

47. Glad You Were Able To Make It!

DI would have appreciated your kind words and of course the extra whiskey!

[Divernan]

43. Memorial donations may be sent to your local Democratic candidate

(The family requests no flowers please.)

[Binka]

44. Here Are Some Worthy Folks

KICK!

[shadowknows69]

48. Welcome Back DA!!!

Haven't seen you in a while. Asked a couple members if you were ok.

[DistressedAmerican]

51. Yeah I'm Doing Great Actually.

Been very productive. Just not here. Some balance is finally returning.

Glad to see you are still here.

Can I bring you another round?

To DI! :toast:

[bvar22]

49. The Indictment may be gone,....

but the Spirit lives on!

On quiet, moonless nights, I can still sometimes hear the cell doors clanging shut in the distance.

[EFerrari]

50. The indictment will live on in our hearts as a shining example

of what an indictment can aspire to.

[DistressedAmerican]

53. Ah, The Frog March That Should Have Been!

(wailing and tearing at my hair)
Why, why was he taken from us?

They say the good die young. I guess that is some solice to a few.

No me. What a tragic loss!

DI!

O indictment boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen and down the mountainside
The summer's gone and all the roses falling
'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide.
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
'Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
O Indictment boy, O Indictment boy, I love you so.

But if ye come and all the flowers are dying
If I am dead, as dead I well may be,
You'll come and find the place where I am lying
And kneel and say an Ave there for me.

And I shall hear, though soft, your tread above me
And all my grave shall warmer, sweeter be
For you will bend and tell me that you love me
And I will sleep in peace until you come to me.

[EFerrari]

55. I told it never to go to the Mall alone.

But, would it listen? No.

:cry:

[DistressedAmerican]

57. He Never Listened To Anyone's Advice.

If he had, Rove would have been indicted long ago, if for no other reason but to get the discovery underway.

But, he insisted on taking his own sweet time.

Sadly, his time with us was shorter than we all thought...

[Binka]

62. Peyton Ate The Indictment So Sorry Mate

[DistressedAmerican]

64. Here's Mine Drinking Her Toast!

A bit for the baby...


And a bit for her.

[Binka]

66. LOVE THE HAT!!!!! We Looked For The Indictment In An Old Monastery

He was no where to be found



Peyton Blue Eyes did not give up hope. We boarded the train for Ilkley!

[theboss]

52. I like to remember the Indictment at his happiest

And forget the sad shell that he later became.

Remember how he looked on May 12th? So vibrant. So strong. A devil-may-care smile on his face.

That's how I want to remember him.

[seemslikeadream]

56. He was a friend to me

[DistressedAmerican]

61. Holy Crap!

That is utterly hysterical! Big thumbs up!



:rofl:

[jarnocan]

58. Last July 4th the greased piggy contest

was a hoot.

[originalpckelly]

59. Candle in the Wind rewritten for Rove Indictment

"Goodbye Indictment Rove
Though I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself
While those around you crawled
They crawled out of the woodwork
And they whispered into your brain
They put you out on the internet
And they made you change your story

And it seems to me you lived your life
Like an indictment in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in
And I would have liked to have known you
But I was just a kid
Our hope burned out long before
Your legend ever did

Hopelessness was tough
The toughest role we ever played
D Underground created a superstar
And pain was the price we paid
Even when you died
Oh the press still hounded you
All the papers had to say
Was that Leopold was found insane

Goodbye Indictment Rove
From the young man in the 22nd row
Who sees you as something as more than hope
More than just our Indictment Rove"

Let's all sing together. :cry: WE MISS YOU!:cry:

[DistressedAmerican]

63. FREEBIRD!

Oops. Not appropriate for a wake. my bad. I'm still a bit buzzed...:beer: :shrug: :cry:

[Jazz2006]

74. LOL

:rofl:

<singing along>

And a toast, befitting a wake.

:toast:

Alas, poor indictment, we hardly knew ye.

[dogday]

60. Alas, poor Indictment, I knew you well....

After all the discussions, I know everything about indictments.

I don't think this is the last we will see of indictments, and conspiracies, but here's to this one...

:beer:

[EFerrari]

65. Photographs and memories

Photographs and memories
Christmas cards you sent to me
All that I have are these



To remember you

Memories that come at night
Take me to another time
Back to a happier day
When I called you mine



CHORUS:

But we sure had a good time
When we started way back when
Morning walks and bedroom talks


Oh how I loved you then

Photographs and memories




:cry:

[Kurovski]

81. OH! Dear sfexpat2000! Grief has driven you over the edge.

:cry: It's time to hold fast to one another. :grouphug:

[Kurovski]

82. Don't forget the frozen pizzas.

Still frozen, as Viva_La_Revolution is so bombed she forgot to heat them up.

78. Thanks for that great "Gallows Humor" and the bagpipes to go with it...

Sitting here with the remnants of Alberto (Tropical Storm) and the gloom and pouring rain...nursing the sorrows of another smack down by the Bushies it was fitting to listen to the "pipes" and read this thread of Irish Wake....

80. ROFLMA!!! Fabulous Post!

[Kurovski]

83. This morning I had a dream that I wanted to tell The indictment,

I leaped from my bed and ran to the phone--then reality struck me like a Chromium-steel bar from an empty prison cell.

I clutched my bosom and collapsed to the floor, the weight of grief and loss sparking my brain's every synapse with the sorrowful light of realization, and sweet memory torn asunder.

For the love of God! Can no one recommend to me a good and reasonably-priced breakfast wine?!! :cry:

[DistressedAmerican]

84. That is very sad.

We will have to get used to the idea somehow. What a waste.

You're much better company than the ones having the knock-down drag-out fight next door. We may all be hung-over today, but I don't see any black eyes. Give me maudlin singing any time.

Our raucous Irish Wake over here has been much more productive. The venting and the laughter -- mostly the laughter -- strengthen us for the struggle ahead. I laughed so much I bookmarked this thread.

[DistressedAmerican]

91. Glad To Hear It.

Closure helps! LOL!

[Marie26]

90. The Indictment still lives on, in our hearts.
