Get the popcorn ready...PING...........
I will be on this thread as much as I can. Looks to me like the long knoves will be out. I am hoping the democrats have misunderestimated Gonzales, too.
That's long KNIVES. I really need more coffee.
"Circus in the making" ping!
I broke a tooth last night. Watching the Dems implode should be just the thing to take my mind off it!
9:30 am....Im hoping that's eastern time....
Bump for later.

Thanks for the ping. Bravos to Gonzales for saying he will not buckle to the dem demands. Time for Specter to justify his being supported to Chairman of the committee AND being reelected in PA.
I'm not holding out much hope for coherency.

Oh the media is going to find, contort and use, some choice sound bytes from him!
These memos read as advising how close one can skirt to the law and still not be guilty," says Douglas A. Johnson, executive director of Minneapolis's Center for Victims of Torture. "They're what we expect to read out of an Enron memo or a mob-lawyer memo, but not advice to the president of the United States."
Well, actually, I kinda thought clarification of what's permissable and what ain't was the whole point, Mr. Johnson. How do you know if you don't ask?
Ditto!
Although the attempt to ‘Bork’ Gonzales will be the main show. What I’ll be watching is how Specter conducts the hearings. This is going to be his first test.
But considering he is a RINO, I’m not very encouraged.
Bump for later....
