It's 12:30PM EDT, so what is the earth shaking news Senator Arlen Specter was supposed to announce

[whistle]

....by noon today?

[WilliamPitt]

1. Relax, he meant business hours.

*fleeing*

[iconoclastic cat]

3. Nice! nt

[IChing]

6. Will really meant cable company installation time

or bankers hours.

[KoKo]

2. I guess he couldn't pull off a compromise with Cheney....n/t

[shraby]

4. He probably meant 12:00 Pacific time.

That gives him a few hours leeway. :shrug:

[MidwestTransplant]

5. He probably meant pacific time :)

[TwilightGardener]

7. 18 hours is an awful long time for Arlen to stay on one side of an issue.

Your faith was misplaced.

[Ghost in the Machine]

8. I thought noon was the deadline for some papers from the misadministration..

the presser would probably come later?? :shrug:

Arlen's just barking at his own shadow again... don't expect much. The only thing I've learned to expect out of Arlen Specter is disappointment.

15. Tony Snowjob said the papers are "a little behind schedule"

but should get delivered in the "next few hours."

From DOJ, not the WH, he emphasized for some reason.
:wtf: :eyes:

[alfredo]

9. I bet the Kremlin --- I mean the White House will wait until it is

too late to hit the evening news.

[kpete]

10. here

Letter being delayed a little bit and will then go to Specter. MSNBC

[Norquist Nemesis]

12. ...with a redacted CC to Chairman Leahy

:sarcasm:

[AndyTiedye]

11. Arlen Got a Phone Call from Karl

[Blackhatjack]

13. Got to give Fox News time to spin the Exclusive... n/t

[havocmom]

14. Prolly that the WH promised him Gonzo didn't lie

and everything is on the up & up.

Arlen will believe them or they will take him for another airplane ride, only next time, it won't be the strong guy holding his ankles out the door... ;)

[LSK]

16. Arlen got a "we are sorry" note and a box of Chocolates from Gonzo

All is forgiven.

[KoKo]

17. Poster at TPM says Tony Snow said Letter coming Later Today at Presser...

Tony Snow Just announced that the letter will be coming from the DOJ later today.

He also stuck to his guns that Gonzales was honest and was testifying about the TSP.

still no acknowledgement of what exactly was controversial.

19. And no one questioned why it's not coming from the WH as Specter

had (allegedly) told them after his 'confidential' briefing?

[bdamomma]

18. read this thread

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x1479502

they are not complying so what else is new? why don't they just throw inherent contempt at them and just haul their a$$es in.
