Set your alarms: Gonzales has scheduled a press conference today at 2:00. I think it's going to be very interesting. I'm not taking any bets, but with the massive document dump yesterday, and the hugely damaging and damning information in it, his resignation is not out of the realm of possibility.

Speculate away.

1. I don't know but I doubt he will step down, he will probably say

he will cooperate with the Committee, another lie.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

2. resignation, blaming democrats

but of course!

[brooklynite]

3. With or without the statues?

[xultar]

4. his gums will be a flappin but the same shit will spew forth.

[goclark]

7. As always xultar ~ you nailed it! nt

[xultar]

13. I thought I'd add some edumacated flair there @ the end for da writers in da house.

[goclark]

25. Love it! nt

[mmonk]

5. We shall see what our torture czar has to say.

[bdamomma]

9. more BS geez, this is really getting disgusting.

Gonzo what a sneaky scumbag.

[FatDave]

6. Cross your fingers people

:popcorn:

[SusanaMontana41]

18. Done!

:bounce:

C'mon, Gonzo, quit.

[Norquist Nemesis]

8. It would be unprecedented for him to call PC to announce himself

The more I think about it (and would love to see it!), I just can't. An official at his level would be announced by Bush himself.

Something's up, and I'm more worried they're going to try a sleight of hand and go on the offensive by distraction. Paranoia's starting to creep in and I'm wondering if any of the remaining US attorneys brought investigations to a close on one or more prominent Democrats. :scared: :tinfoilhat: :scared: :tinfoilhat:

Hope I'm wrong.

10. no resignation at press conference

if he was going to resign it would be done via "leaks" from unnamed sources for a couple of days

no formal announcement of resignation until a friday news dump - leaving the weekend for republics to express outrage that such a fine man should be driven from his job - democrats are a party of destruction - they ruined scooter and now have ruined Gonzales..

today's conference will be filled with many excuses, much spinning and self-serving pats on the back

[Beetwasher]

11. Not A Chance In Hell He Will Resign, This Is What He Will Say

Or some variation thereof:

There is NOTHING to these allegations. Mere routine personnel matters. Past Presidents routinely fire the USA's. Clinton did it, Bush 1 did it, etc.

And the bonus: I will cooperate fully w/ Congress and turn over everything they request (lie).

[peace13]

12. One has to ask...

will he provide the rubber fist or should we bring our own?

[Catherine Vincent]

14. Keep us posted, please.

Will this be the official thread?

[SlowDownFast]

15. Perhaps he'll announce

that he'll be making an announcement later this year...

[Catherine Vincent]

20. lol!

:)

[MiniMe]

16. Its on CSPAN 2 - link

[BuyingThyme]

17. How long will it take for a Dem to respond on national tee vee?

[SlowDownFast]

19. **MSNBC to broadcast**

Getting ready now.

[TahitiNut]

21. Cheney/Bush ablatives have to take more heat before they leave.

Abu Gonzo ain't taken nearly enough yet. Today will be another Adventure Through The Looking Glass as another Mad Hater spews reichbot rhetoric.

[TahitiNut]

24. "I believe ..." "I'm responsible..." "I didn't know..."

Prototypical reichbot slither. He proudly and arrogantly claims "responsibility" in one breath and then admits behaving IRRESPONSIBLY and claims "(im)plausible deniability." Slimey fuck!

As predicted ... no resignation and the typical fascist rhetoric.

[kestrel91316]

22. Status report? NPR at KPCC is steadfastly ignoring this. They are

busy yakking about new homes having two master suites, and going back to the idea of separate beds for married couples.

[FatDave]

23. Beats me.

Sounds like every news org is stalling while they wait for something to happen. I'm listening to the cspan2 stream at work, and they've gone back to senate coverage.
