Seriuosly, is there any penalty, any cost to the Bush admin? Is the only threat carried by congress impeachment? W and his minions just sneer at that and continue fucking the constitution. And they certainly will continue with the wiretaps and lord knows whatever else they are doing.

3. Brownback just gave Gonzales a hand-job on C-SPAN.
This "investigation" is a sham.

7. They will not do it...
I bet after this is all said and done, Specter will issue a declaration that none of this is illegal because the Bushies are only spying on Al Queda and other affiliated terrorists.

So we will be mf'ing Specter in a few days....

10. That is why I am wondering what is the purpose of this exercise?
Pretty much nothing will happen. The Fux news world will just use it to flaunt the 'strong pres, weak dems/congress.' Then it will be buried like last weeks trash as the RW loses another white woman in the Carribean and that gets 24X7 coverage.
Maybe this will make some people feel good?

15. This is why I think they are being held.....
so that Specter can whitewash what Bush has done. Leading up to all of this Specter has been very critical of Bush for this. He has built up anticipation and after they are done, he will say that after hearing the Administration's side, that what they have done, while controversial, is legal and under the President's authority to do so.

See, it's sort of like building up the legitimacy, so that when Specter says all of this, it will supposedly carry more weight.

8. Seriously this is what happens....
And Then What


First I'm going to stack my flow
Then I'm going to stack some more
Close shop then I do my count
Hide the rest of the yams at my auntie house
Get fresh and jump in one of them cars
Hit the club and get one of them broads
It's a wrap on the way to the house
By 3:45 I'll be kicking her out

Patty cake patty cake microwave
These suckas make a square, damn I'm paid
I'm so cool but I'm so hot and I'm so fly and you is so not
Show me what your working with, just like that
Turn around, bend over, bring it back
Slow many Mannie Fresh bring it back
So Mannie Fresh and Snowman, it's a rap

Wrap it up in the club, ya I'm so crazy
These other rappers actors like Patrick Swayze
I try to tell them but these niggas aint hear me
Mossberg pump, i'm riding shotgun literally
Live from the projects, you know what it is
Hey Snowman can I get an adlib
Get the club crunk, cant take that from me
A drop ya, still got a lil jon money

First I'm going to stack my flow
Then I'm going to stack some more
Close shop then I do my count
Hide the rest of the yams at my auntie house
Get fresh and jump in one of them cars
Hit the club and get one of them broads
It's a wrap on the way to the house
By 3:45 I'll be kicking her out

I see you lookin, what you looking at
Catch Snowman in the kitchen with his cooking ass
I'm so clean but I'm so grimey
So dirty but yet I'm so shiney
Kiki B told me me finish my meal
Def jam 7 figures we can finish the deal
Some say I lucked up or just perfect timing
I cant lose the whole city's behind me

First I'm going to stack my flow
Then I'm going to stack some more
Close shop then I do my count
Hide the rest of the yams at my auntie house
Get fresh and jump in one of them cars
Hit the club and get one of them broads
It's a wrap on the way to the house
By 3:45 I'll be kicking her out

I got million dollar dreams and federal nightmares
We pop chris my niggas and still drink beer
What did you expect man I came from nothing
Real street niggas wouldnt change for nothing
Got my nigga out the hood, it's such a wonderful feeling
Three car garage with the twelve foot ceilings
It ought to be a crime just to feel this good
I swear it ought to be a crime just to be in this hood

First I'm going to stack my flow
Then I'm going to stack some more
Close shop then I do my count
Hide the rest of the yams at my auntie house
Get fresh and jump in one of them cars
Hit the club and get one of them broads
It's a wrap on the way to the house
My 345 I be king of the house
