1. Maybe the real bombshell is the ABSENCE of a letter?
Isn't today the deadline for Alberto to correct his errors, via a letter to the committee?

Perhaps they have someone or several folks lined up to testify that he's a lying Mo-Fo???

3. It was suppose to be high noon but it looks like they stiffed him. Specter will
talk tough soon, then will back down -AGAIN! I think they keep reminding him he is Mr Single Bullet Theory.

5. Well, Arlen is no longer committee chair. He's only ranking member.

Any "Wrath of God" announcements (or perhaps I should say "Go Fuck Yourself, Gonzo" pronouncements) should appropriately come from Pat Leahy, who is now CHAIR.

Arlen might be missing the spotlight...awwwwww. It's tough working in the background. Leahy may be giving Gonzo more than enough rope to hang himself...

Edit--dodgy keyboard!

2. Like all things Arlen Spector

He starts with a scream but ends in a whimper. He's my rep and I detest him whole heartily for these reasons. He's a coward

I just heard they released some papers too for the NSA program, so probably some backroom deal going down during all of the silence.

4. By the time he finished it on that Air Force One letterhead ....
... it had lost a lot of its punch.

7. Spector is a 'One Trick Pony', indignation, demands, and then his Famous Disappearing Act

8. When Prescott Bush's children piss on Specter, he says the glass is half full.
Arlen Specter has been doing the biddings of the Bush Family for a half century. Nothing is to be expected of him. The BFEE must have a lot of shit on poor Arlen.

9. He wiped with it and flushed.
After bombing Tokyo, as a shell of a man.
