1. k&r.

20. This from the article:

"If this has been botched up the way it has, there's a question as to whether it should continue," Coghill told NEWSWEEK.

Isn't that kinda like the attorney firings that Congress STILL is waiting on and about which the WH has not complied in furnishing requested documents and that Harriet Miers just got a stay on in Appeals court?

They need to send Fitz up there to straighten it all out, but they are going to try to play out the clock on this one, too, I am afraid.

26. write NICELY to this man:

[e-mail]

He wants to issue subpoenas and needs to know people are behind him. BE NICE.

That is all. :)

2. Sweet.

I'll chill some beers and pop the popcorn.


:beer: :popcorn:

[skooooo]

4. Word from my relative living in Wasilla...

Said that reporters have been caught trying to climb over a neighbor's fence to get onto Palin's property.

[Wapsie B]

15. omg!

[skooooo]

17. the town is going apeshit....

i told her to talk to the locals (everyone is a local there) and get some good stories for me!! lol

[skooooo]

3. I still think the Alaskan locals...

....are going to do their best not to let McCain come in and take over everything.

[Postman]

5. Maybe McCain and the gangster Republican Party will make them offers they can't refuse..

[skooooo]

6. We'll see...

I like the troopers who filed ethic complaints against Palin. The unions are strong in Alaska!

[arthritisR_US]

16. ya, I'm afraid of that. n/t

[Canuckistanian]

7. And Alaskans LOVE "big gubmint" interfering in their affairs

This will go over like a Lead Zeppelin - and not the good kind.

[skooooo]

8. no kidding

That's what I was trying to say. Republican or not - they'll run into some ornery locals up there.

[glitch]

11. This would make such a good movie (comedy if our lives didn't depend on it, tragedy since they do)nt

[wtmusic]

10. They do like big gubmint money

The RNC has plenty of that, and will pay whatever it takes to shut this down.

[alittlelark]

9. I'll bet MANY Alaskans are not enjoying this limelight.

Most ppl who move to AK do so to 'get away from it all'.

[calimary]

12. And it may make some of them circle the wagons around her, too.

All the more reason to hate "the press," when it just might be the press, in this regard, that saves us.

13. Hey do they have lawns in Alaska?

snort

[ComplimentarySwine]

19. As a matter of fact, it appears that they do:

I did not know that.

24. I'm sure that Lumpy McSame is trying to wave them off and he will also be unavailable for comments.

[Karl_Bonner_1982]

23. Southern Alaska is pretty temperate

At least the part around Juneau isn't cold all the time; I'm sure cool seed lawns would do fine there.

[lonestarnot]

25. Press may want to look for Palin and Lumpy trying to wave people off then.

:D

[roguevalley]

27. you need to come here and drive. we plant lawns along our

highways, we have so many long scenic stretches. google alaska. it isn't igloos and fish guts. :) Mostly.

[stillcool]

14. Gosh if only they would have vetted her...

Now Johnny can't be a Maverick anymore.

[skooooo]

18. It's got to be a circus there...lol..

Wish I could see it!

[Catherine Vincent]

21. You should get your relative to post here.

Are they a Democratic voter?

[skooooo]

22. yes democrat..

I'll keep asking her for the gossip..lol.

[LWolf]

28. So, will Republicans be successful

in getting rid of French and/or shutting down the investigation?

It seems like the best outcome would be to keep French, keep investigating, and keep the original October 31st due date for the report.
