AP - Bush to make personnel announcement

Let the speculation roar on!

SECOND EDIT: It's PORTER GOSS!!

[sabra]

1. Snow out?

[VolcanoJen]

4. That's my guess.

No big whoop... it would be lovely if we were talking about Cheney or Rummy, wouldn't it? :popcorn:

[station agent]

28. Why would Snow be out?

It's gotta be about Rove, eh?

[VolcanoJen]

29. It's long been thought that Snow would be the next to leave...

... in the Great Josh Bolton Shake-Up.

[maddezmom]

40. and the timing of Scotty mentioning it during the press conf

after David G's ? on the economy. :hi:

[Rose Siding]

32. Treasury Sec Snow

Not Snow Job

[ballsalicious]

35. Everybody is leaving....Soon, Bush all by himself in his bunker.....

[Theres-a]

38. WELCOME TO DU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:bounce:

[dave29]

2. "I Quit"

just daydreaming

[0007]

3. Re-arranging more chairs on the Hindenburg?

[MGKrebs]

5. Oooh, it's Friday!

Are indicments coming too?

[VolcanoJen]

Fitz is meeting with the grand jury, according to a GD thread

:popcorn:

[katty]

19. other media report the gathering outside of US courthouse D.C.

[DoYouEverWonder]

30. There was a report last night

that Rove had already been indicted but that Fitz was leaving up to the WH to make the announcement if they wanted to. Either way, he would be making the documents public this PM.

Here we go folks. I think this it it!

[katty]

33. OMG thanks for that bit of news...Rover...then Rummy....then....

[berni_mccoy]

6. Karl Rove is out.

Just sayin...

[BR_Parkway]

7. Fitz meeting w/ GJ this AM and the judge at 1:30? - Am I really just

being too hopeful?

[VolcanoJen]

8. I'm thinking Sec of Treasury Snow

That's been anticipated for quite awhile now... I hope it's a bigger fish, of course!

[rox63]

12. Yeah, the only reason Snow is still at the Treasury

is that they haven't found anyone else they approve of who is willing to replace him.

[katty]

9. this BETTER be about Rover and not Snowjob!

[VolcanoJen]

11. Wouldn't Rumsfeld be even sweeter, though?

Rummy de Mayo.... now that would make me jump for joy!

[katty]

20. yes, it would-AND the rest of them

[katty]

22. Laura asked me to 'spend more time with my family'

[Cyrano]

10. He's going to nuke Ohio. The vote has become to unpredictable.

[bluestateguy]

13. Mm Hm. OK, anyway, who do the A's have pitching tonight?

I have other priorities.

[grytpype]

14. Exciting isn't it?

Today could be the day we say goodbye to Turdblossom.

Or on the boring end of the spectrum it could just be Snow. But that would have been pre-leaked I think.

Maybe it will be a total surprise.

[Coastie for Truth]

15. The LBJ Thing

"Accordingly, I will neither seek nor accept the nomination of my party..."

or will it be the Nixonian thing "I am not a crook."

[bluestateguy]

17. If he was doing the LBJ thing,

he would ask Clark Clifford to take over running his failing war as Secretary of Defense.

[TallahasseeGrannie]

16. I'm disappointed

I mis-read MSNBC and thought it said "personal announcement."

I thought he was quitting or something.

Phooey

[Greeby]

18. How about

"I shall resign the Presidency effective at noon tomorrow"

Naah, too much to hope for :(

[meti57b]

26. They've appointed another new assistant whitehouse cook?

[no_to_war_economy]

[Vinnie From Indy]

9/11, Freedom on the march, hard work and decidin' shit.

[Zorra]
