That is my theory, Gonzales is the impeachment firewall. If Gonzales is gone, impeachment gets one GIANT step closer to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue or the Naval Observatory – depending which strategy you go with.
I think Rove knows Bush’s ratings be damned, they can’t loose Gonzales. Do we think Myers has really that much to say? Maybe. But the longer Rove, et al, prolongs the Congress’ misery and investigation, the closer they get to Bush’s last day in office – a few more than 500 days are left to go. They just need to hold on and hanging on means not letting Myers testify or Gonzales or any of the other of the king’s menagerie.
The secondary firewall may be the surge. I wonder these days if the September Report will come back de facto positive in an attempt to split the blue dog Democrats off from the progressives and weaken the party as a whole?
Either way, the Summer will wind down, the blood bath in Iraq will worsen, the housing market will still be in freefall and the headlines for the Wall Street Journal will proclaim it is another sunny, beautiful day and all is well in America.

It could be worse!
We could could all be Facists…no…wait…
We could all be Orwellian Zombies…no wait…
I know! We could all be tumbling closer to econimic and enviromental oblivian…no…wait…
Umm…Damn… Nevermind
Real good theory, Dob. But do you think everyone can dance around for 500 more days to cover Bush’s a–? Something’s gotta give, no? Or someone’s gotta give in and tell all. Wouldn’t THAT be nice?
Hi Anime
Greetings Mary.
Actually, that is a theory that I have about BushCo.
They are just wasting time, and trying to waste as much of it as possible until Bush leaves office. Once that happens, they are pretty much untouchable.
Bush will disappear to his ranch in Texas, never to be heard from again.
Cheny will go with his company over to Youpickastan (or wherever in the hell they moved) and never be heard from again.
Rumsfeld and the rest will most likely drop into the shadows while the nation stomps around angrly because the people they want to slam are untouchable and there is no real evidence against them. Can they hold on for 500 days?
Yeah, I think they can pull it off.
OF COURSE the September report will come back positive. Whether conditions are better or not, we will be given what George wants us to hear, not what’s true.
Since when has truth had any role in this administration? They’ve gone out of their way to decieve us since before 9/11; why would they change now?
