The Wager

[Stevendsmith]

Last Saturday, I posted the thread below:

Foley, Woodward, Abramoff will be non-issues by this time next week

Sorry, but how many times have we seen this happen? Too fucking many to count. What? You think this stuff is going to bear real fruit? You think the MSM or the political authorities are going to keep on this?

When fucking pigs fly.

All of these stories are reaching their zenith this weekend. Monday will begin the gradual but steady disappearance into the ether.

DUer Finnfan responded:

I'll bet you a $10 donation to DU that you're wrong. Are you willing to put your money where your mouth is?

Then I responded:

Okay. I hope I lose!

Though the "results" will be open for interpretation. But I'll check into the DU lounge next Saturday at 1PM Pacific. The subject line will be: "The Wager." If I'm wrong, I'll gladly pay up. We'll consult other DUers to determine who won.

Well, obviously, I lost the bet! And I have gladly paid up.

I’m a little early with the post, but I’ll PM Finnfan and provide a link. I think I'll post on GD as well.

Nice job, Finnfan!

Viva Foleygate!

(Though I do wish Abramoff and the Woodward revelations were getting more play. Who knows what next week will bring.)

1. Cool! I hope you never question me again. :-)

:D. It's very classy of you to take this so graciously.

I'm glad you got yourself a star out of the deal (and I'm also glad it's still making news).

Now on to the elections!
