21. This press conference of sorts with Schumer is great. Although I get pissed at Schumer
(my Senator) over certain things, he has a great way of getting his message across. He's smart without talking down to people.

31. Really, they heard most of what they needed in the first round
By this time tomorrow, Gonzo will be out.

Before today, he told the truth four different ways. He added a another this morning and it still didn't add up.

Congress has better things to do than impeach Gonzo -- like impeach the Frat Boy and the Big Dick.

4. I think I figured out the Republic Senators diversionary tactics. I
think that they were reminding Gonzo of the other issues he would be required to testify about, ex. the NSA letters etc. I think they were letting him know what the future would hold for him if he did not decide to resign. Think about it!

After todays performance, why would anyone think that he could defend himself in the other investigations?

I couldn't wait to turn it off. I'm already back to my life as usual. Music! DU. Planning the next bike ride. And a Sapporo in an hour.

10. I listened to the whole thing on Pacifica but didn't watch
Can't WAIT to get home tonight -- hopefully C-Span will re-air. Body language will probably make this even MORE satisfying to watch than to listen to!

34. you all know gonzo is covering for the big boys.
they have had their way with no oversight for 6 years, they feel they can do anything they want, sorry, it doesn't work like that.

was the question even answered who put the US attorneys names on the list? Rove is the snake behind it all, oh, what the hell Cheney and Bush too.
