I don't think Bushco will let the indictments (assuming they come tomorrow) be the big news story, so what will they come up with? Terror alert? Terror attack? Major outbreak of bird flu? I bet they'd launch a category 5 hurricane if they could!

1. It'll involve plenty of blinking and word-slurrination.

I expect they'll dress Harriet Miers up in a turban and a fake
beard and videotape her making terrorist threats in pidgin Arabic, circulate the tape as the "Al Qaeda Number Two Man". Threat level will then be raised to "terror cotta".

3. Miers withdraws her nomination
This might be the only circumstance under which he'd recommend she withdraw. Sure, it's a defeat for him, but it brings back his base (and that's all he cares about anyway).

6. It needs to be early in the day, but uncertain, so it can linger ...
I predict they will roll out some east coast urban threat, like a suggested, maybe, possibly attack, someone either in a vehicle or walking, carrying or not carrying something ...

BOO!! BOO!!

Something is coming tomorrow, and it's a series, not a single event. Bushies have to be planning a diversionary explosion, metaphorically speaking.

11. Well, didn't TSA "catch" a passenger with an "IED" today at SAN?

Terra! Terra! Terra!:puke:

Guess Bu$hco thought the indictments would come today:shrug:

Edit: It was on CNN this morning around 11 am CST, but I can't find the story on their website. They probably pulled it when the terra trial ballon popped.
