Last Friday everybody thought Gonzo would be gone by now.

[Jackpine Radical]

I remember someone lamenting his pool position of (last) Wednesday because he was convinced Weird Al would be long gone by then.

Didn't happen.

And I'm GLAD, do you hear me? GLAD!

Why am I glad? Because this is keeping the whole thing in the news. The latest doc dump illustrates my point. If Gonzo were gone, his close connection to the firings would be OLD NEWS. He's already gone, what's the big deal?

But with the Bonzo & Gonzo show still in full swing, these emails are still a big story, as they should be. As they need to be.

1. The betting on in-trade.com just went up 5 points

that gonzo would be gone by March 31 on the latest email dump.

I say keep him there and let him rot and swing on a rope while the Idiot in Chief continues to praise that lying torturing sonofabitch

4. Some still suffer under the illusion the bushco plays fair or cares one bit about governance.

[Raven]

2. Why do these people think they can lie and get away with it?

With all the past history on this, right after "Scooter", with a democratic Congress, I don't get it!

[youngdem]

7. Because recent history proves quite convincingly that they can

Here's their plan.

Commit crime.

Cover it up.

Quickly commit another crime bigger than the previous crime.

Wait for crisis fatigue to hit your critics, then mop up. The opposition is too splintered and tired of chasing your many crimes to effectively neuter you. Victory.

Americans, as much as they say they don't, LOVES good liars.

10. because no one has stopped them yet, they will keep on doing

what they are doing until we stop the SOB's.

[KittyWampus]

16. Raven, these people create their own 'reality' and feel they have total control.

TOTAL control.

They are wrong, of course. But in their delusion they are will end up causing a lot of damage and destruction.

3. I lost a bet

I had that little shit walking out yesterday. It didn't cost me anything except my pride, I really thought he'd have bailed by now. I guess his outside job prospects aren't looking too good he's holding on like cold death.

[MoonRiver]

5. Yeah, I underestimated Dimson's stupidity.

When WILL I learn? :banghead:

[dflprincess]

8. I mentioned this on another thread - it may not be stupidity, it may be fear

Remember "Fredo" is the one who kept George-Boy's DUI from going public. Who knows what else he's been privy to? If Georgie throws Al over the side, it could be Al will try to save himself by becoming the John Dean of this administration and telling all.

6. Have you seen this?

9. Everyone also thought Fitzmas was right around the corner

[Cruzan]

11. Nah, he'll go...it's just one of those slow walking Harriet Miers kinda deals.

[Jackpine Radical]

12. Oh, sure, he'll go.

I'm just in no rush.

I wanna hear from Samson all next week about all kindsa things that put a criminal color on this whole business. Then Gonzo can go. Then he can get hauled in front of the Senate, where he can be forced to fink out Bush, or at the very least have to take the 5th when asked about all sorts of interesting things.

[ClassWarrior]

13. I'm ready to settle in for a good grillin'...

NGU.

[ClassWarrior]

18. .

[dweller]

14. not me

I put my vote and effort and say upon the Democrats taking over the Congress.
And as long as they are continuing to gather information, hold the official meetings, put the requisite paperwork in order to NAIL them to the wall, with subpoenas, hearings, et al

why should i complain?

I trust the ruling party (D) in office to oversee the jackals.

and the backlash, payback, return, might i say smackdown is slowly but surely becoming a reckoning to behold.

it's just a matter of trust.

15. The newest dump directly links Gonzo to the scheme...

that makes him look even worse, because he's lied to everyone saying he didn't know. He also lied under oath so many times, it's amazing! This man should literally be impeached for lying to Congress with such impunity.

[havocmom]

17. He sure has been an odd color this week!

Every time he turns up on the TV, his skin looks more and more sallow. Looks positively jaundiced. Liver problems? Hitting the drink a bit extra?

[Dulcinea]

19. He's Boy George's drinking buddy!

Someone has to go pick up the PBR & pork rinds!

[catmandu57]

20. I've got to admit i thought he would be gone yesterday

and it does get better the longer they drag this out, so, I'll just wait as juicier stuff turns up day by day. Before long this garbage will stink so bad that even the brain dead amongst us will clamour for it to be cleaned up.

[dkofos]

21. In most worlds he would have been gone last week, BUT,

THIS IS bush WORLD!!
