Leahy's herding your punk ass into a perjury trap, you moron.

Senator Leahy is just too polite.

5. Give the smirking little sumbitch the "or else" ANYWAY!

I swear, sometimes you just get tired of dealing with these people, y'know? Patience, I got -- but nothing is infinite (although the length, breadth, and depth of the Urinary Executive's stupidity is still under review).

6. I love the new fragrance that's all the rage in Washington...

"Gonzo in the Woodshed!"

7. WHY DO THEY KEEP GIVING THIS LITTLE FUCKER A CHANCE TO CHANGE HIS TESTIMONY?

if you or I lied under oath..would we get a gimme??
do you honestly believe a prosecutor would give us a week to cvhange our testimony with the truth looking us in the ye after we lied??
honestly..this is going to far by Leahy IMHO..why not send gonzo flowers with a box of candy???????

shaking head here..

9. I think they've got him cornered.

Leahy's a pretty savvy prosecutor, and I think he's got Abu in a position where if he changes one part of his testimony, he'll be liable for a perjury charge - and if he changes a different part of his testimony, he'll be open to a different perjury charge.

Leahy knows what he's doing here. Remember, the wheels of justice turn exceeding slow....

8. That's MORE than generous. Did they do that for Bill Clinton? I doubt it.

Going my way?
