Okay, a few of my words, too. While I have not yet seen the testimony, I have seen snippets and have read the press reports. Ms Goodling was dressed appropriately for her testimony in front of the House Judiciary committee. She wanted the country to see her as she sees herself:
Here are a few selected tidbits from her testimony:

Monica Goodling in Her Own Words
Is It a First for a Second to Have Taken the Fifth?
Wowza, kids!! Not only is Monica Goodling set to testify (did you mark your calendars like I told you to do?), but now there is a new Bushie Bimbo in the crosshairs, and she is pleading the fifth, too! Yay!!!
From Bloomberg:
Susan Ralston, former executive assistant to presidential adviser Karl Rove, is seeking immunity from prosecution before testifying about any knowledge she has of contacts between administration officials and lobbyist Jack Abramoff, a House committee disclosed yesterday.
Representative Henry Waxman, chairman of the House Oversight Committee, said the panel will seek information elsewhere before deciding whether to grant Ralston’s request, according to a memo to committee members on the panel’s Web site.
Before working for Rove, Ralston was an assistant to Abramoff, who is in jail for pleading guilty to conspiracy to corrupt public officials, mail fraud and tax evasion.
Karl Rove in JackyBoy’s pocket, or the other way around? Whatevah!
So, it seems that, so far, the House Oversight Committee is not yet…
But…… Continue reading

Vote of Confidence…..that He’ll Screw Up Again!
From ABC News:
Frustrated over the apparent political firing of U.S. attorneys, among other things, Democratic Sens. Chuck Schumer of New York and Dianne Feinstein of California announced last week that they would seek to hold a no-confidence vote about Gonzales on the floor of the Senate.
From The Hill:
Reps. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) and Artur Davis (D-Ala.) introduced a resolution Monday urging President Bush to fire Attorney General Alberto Gonzales.

Mark Your Calendars, Kids!!
Wednesday, May 23rd!!! What’s Wednesday, May 23rd? Well, it’s the day my car payment is due, but that’s not what’s important. It’s also the day that Monica Goodling testifies before the House Judiciary Committee!!! Do you have any idea what this means? Well, for one thing, I will have a lot more pictures of her to play around with. But, almost as good as that, she has been granted limited immunity, so she could very well seal the fate of her boss, Alberto Stick-A-Fork-In-Me-I’m-Done Gonzales and, perhaps, Karl My-Fingerprints-Are-All-Over-This Rove!
Do you think there might be a little tension in the House chamber?

Dogs of War
From the Telegraph:
Gordon Brown is prepared to risk the future of the “special relationship” with the United States by reversing Tony Blair’s support for the Iraq war, President George W Bush has been warned.
He has been briefed by White House officials to expect an announcement on British troop withdrawals from Mr Brown during his first 100 days in power.
Guess Britain has gone from poodle 
….
…to a completely different breed 
This is gonna get interesting!

Another Episode of Attorney General Hospital….
Cue the dramatic organ music!
From the Barre Montpelier Times Argus:
The eavesdropping program was scheduled to expire on March 11, 2004, unless Ashcroft agreed to its extension. But at that time the attorney general was seriously ill with pancreatitis, so Comey was serving as acting attorney general. Believing the program to be illegal, Comey advised the White House he would refuse to sign off on it, and so Card and Gonzales were dispatched (it’s not clear who sent them, but highly unlikely they acted on their own) to Ashcroft’s bedside.
Wowza! This is gonna be a fun episode!!!

Mueller? Mueller?
Former Chimpy’s White House Chief of Staff Andrew the prick Card and then-White House counsel Alberto the weasel Gonzales tried to force then-Attorney General John I never thought I would actually miss him Ashcroft, who was ailing and in Intensive Care, to agree to continue an illegal wiretapping policy. Deputy (and acting) AG James Comey was standing by, as were FBI agents placed in the hospital room under orders from FBI Director Robert Mueller. Later on, Comey, Ashcroft, and Mueller threatened to resign.
I don’t think I want to be around when…..

The Magic Lute
George W. Bush finally got his war czar. There’s just a little problem. I’ll let the Washington Post tell you about it:
In an interview with Charlie Rose of PBS in January 2006, Lute said the military wanted “to see a smaller, lighter, less prominent U.S. force structure in Iraq,” both to undercut the perception of occupation and to prevent what he called “dependency syndrome” — the notion that U.S. forces will do what is necessary and therefore local forces do not need to step up.
Ultimately, he said, Iraqis need to forge a political solution. “Our purpose is not fundamentally to draw down U.S. forces, but rather to produce a durable, reasonable solution in Iraq,” Lute said. “And that absolutely hinges on the ability of the Shia, apparently the simple majority Shia, to produce a compromise solution that is inclusive of the other two major parties, the Sunni and the Kurds.”
So, he didn’t support the “surge” but he is working for the asshole incompetent blowhard fucking moron guy who ordered it. That can only mean one thing…….
