National attention will be focused on this testimony next week. I am just hoping someone picks it up and televises the whole thing, without editorializing throughout.

5. They could ignore Kyle and Laurita easily enough, but AG AG is the big fish
I think they'd all get a lot of viewer mail if they didn't. However, that doesn't mean they'll report accurately or completely. I'm watching on CSPAN3 and hope that the whole thing will be available on the 'nets.

6. His testimony is going to be so rehearsed that it will be boring.
I wonder what his strategy is going to be.

7. Someone said earlier that his opening statement is 23 pages
But I believe some of our guys have questions that the DOJ may not know about.

I found both Kyle Sampson's and Laurita Doan's hearings quite entertaining, so I'm looking forward to Tuesday.

9. Sampson's hearing was amazing. Did he even graduate from law school?

8. Of course he's rehearsed for weeks, but he also sounded
extremely uneasy the last speech he made. Gonzo doesn't do well under pressure, and this hearing will be the most pressure he's ever experienced in his lifetime!

Another thing caught meas very strange today. During the Cheney interview by Bob Schieffer this AM on Face the Nation, Bob asked Cheney about Gonzo. Cheney more or less, Cheney said Gonzo is on his own. Even Bob said "That sound to me like Alberto is on his own." Cheney just added that he's a smart guy and he'll tell the truth at the hearings.

I find that quite interesting. Remember how Dick & Shrub completely supported Rummy? Not so for Gonzo. I bet he's gone before the end of the month.
