2. Has * started talking to pictures yet?

Has he asked penis cheney to pray with him? Has he said "I am not a crook", while making the v sign with both hands? I think I'm experiencing deja vu all over again (thanks Yogi Berra).

4. Is that the name of the law firm the Bush White House hired?

6. Lol good one

but you know giddy isn't what I want from the guys with the "football" and all it's passcodes.

10. Well, legend has it that toward Nixon's end

his staff quietly relieved him of his football-playing "privileges."

7. You Left Out The Best Part: A Tangy Merangue Of ...

That had me rolling!:rofl:

[TallahasseeGrannie]

8. Yeah...I was on the phone and couldn't get that down fast

enough...it made me want to bake a yummy pie.

An indictment pie!

Somehow this seems to fit the bill..

Sing a song of sixpence a pocket full of rye,
Four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie.
When the pie was opened the birds began to sing,
Oh wasn't that a dainty dish to set before the king?
The king was in his counting house counting out his money,
The queen was in the parlour eating bread and honey
The maid was in the garden hanging out the clothes,
When down came a blackbird and pecked off her nose!

Ok, either they have a huge bomb to drop on all the indictments and they are giddy with excitement, or, they know it's time for a frog march or perp walk and they are dumbfounded and getting sentimental about the evil-good times they've had that are about to come to an end.
