[CrazyOrangeCat]

25. Ain't it the truth . . .

(What a funny drawing!) :D

[Hotler]

4. I think I'm going take a vacation day...

[LSK]

5. Im going to be using up all my vacation days due to CSPAN

:rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

6. Sending Henry to the Greatest Page

That's a lot of C-SPAN.

[Old and In the Way]

7. Memo to DU: Think about an "upcoming events" calender.

It would be a handy feature to keep track of all the scandals.

[loudsue]

18. Do we have enough bandwidth??

[Justice Is Comin]

8. Good googly moogley,

we'll never be able to get to the phase 2 extravaganza.

9. Blogosphere trivia: First WTF mention of gwb43.com after release of the docs?

The award could go up on the shelf, with SpiralHawk's coinage of the term "Fitzmas".

[LSK]

10. wasnt Jeff Gannon busted on DU too?

[Catherine Vincent]

27. No. It was John Aravosis of Americablog.

[Lugnut]

11. K&R

More popcorn. :popcorn:

[Duppers]

12. Condi thinks her 'husband' will keep her out of jail.

Condi is in contempt of Congress for not turning over those docs.

Bush, Cheney, his advisers and cabinet belong behind bars.

14. "Houston, we have a problem"

As the acting U.S. attorney for D.C., Taylor has the sole authority to enforce House or Senate subpoenas through citations for contempt of Congress. Even if Taylor actually chooses to prosecute an administration official for refusing to testify - which is highly unlikely - could we trust him not to screw it up?

Please read this Buzzflash article to 'see' who Mr. Taylor is and get a picture of what "We the People" can expect of him (and his adminstration of his 'duties').:

[irish.lambchop]

23. Such as . . . ?

What do you think is missing from this list? I ask only because I'm on brain overload with the number of scandals this admin. is involved in.

[ejbr]

26. I was being both serious and tongue-in-cheek

Yes, there are plenty of other scandals, but for anyone to remember them all in addition to living their own lives is damn near impossible!

I was only joshing you about being disappointed. :P

Believe it'll hit red! Damn - I don't have anything to wear that coordinates with red and I've always tried to color coordinate with the current "threat level", but red makes me look washed out.
