WSJ Reporter on Olberman says Abramoff is bluffing

[CatWoman]

he really can't bring 60 people down.

[Jacobin]

1. Yeah, and the Iraqis are gonna love us when we invade them

Oh, and there was no wrong doing at Enron, it was just a market turn down.

These are other spot on prognostications from the WSJ, the raggiest business paper in the entire world

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. The Wall Street Urinal guy did say, however,

that this is definitely a Republican scandal.

[CatWoman]

7. yes -- to his credit

now they are running thru Delay's many shady dealings.

[Pirate Smile]

2. Well, the Justice Dept. won't be very happy with being "bluffed".

That would mean Jack will be going to jail for much longer.

Is Jack that stupid and suicidal?

[CatWoman]

4. He says Abramoff is using that figure to try to get a lighter sentence.

[Straight Shooter]

8. What lighter sentence? 220 years instead of 350? n/t

[MercutioATC]

14. He's gone from 60 years down to 10 so far...

With a wife and five kids, I imagine he's motivated...

[Straight Shooter]

15. 10 years for all the damage he's caused?

I was being facetious with my response, but I wasn't aware that this rat bastard was looking at only 10 years. I guess crime does pay, very well indeed, depending on who your partners in crime are.

[MercutioATC]

16. Yep, a lousy ten years.

:shrug:

[CatWoman]

17. Well, when it comes to plea deals

you have to play to pay.

I'm happy with his only serving 10 years, as long as he serves up the good on those rat bastards -- ESPECIALLY Delay.

[Pirate Smile]

18. Jack's sentence will be based on what he delivers, not what he

says he can deliver. That caveat is included in these types of pleas.

If he did bluff, he was really damn stupid.

I would also believe that the DOJ required more and has more then just Jack's word regarding who they are going to go after.

How ya doing, CatWoman?

For once, I'm not watching Keith because I'm watching the Moran/Murtha town hall on C-span 2. I know I'm going to be up late so I figure I can watch Keith when he repeats.

:hi:

[EST]

11. He did say that Abram had bargained

his sentence down from 70 years to 10 and in trying for a whole monty. He also said that this was strictly a republican scandal.

[madokie]

12. Jack is betting on the pardon.

[leftchick]

5. he did say this is a repuke scandal

on the plus side.:)

[librechik]

6. the reporter did emphasize that this is a REPUBLICAN scandal

thank you

[CatWoman]

10. see above

we all agree on that one.

[Tom Joad]

9. Even if it is a mere half-dozen, it will be worth it. Hey, even just

Delay, it will be worth it.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

13. I especially hope they get DeLay, Ney, Hastert, Burns, Blunt and Frist.

That would make my day.
