Whadyawannabet Bush names new Supreme nominee Friday morning?

[Jersey Devil]

Early, before there is any chance for a Fitzgerald news conference. Sure, desperate and obvious, but true to form.

1. You betcha!

Do you think it'll do him any damned good? :bounce:

[NYCGirl]

2. Doesn't matter. Indictments are much "sexier" for the news media.

They'll be on that like white on rice.

[Connie_Corleone]

4. Exactly.

The media is hungry for indictment news. They've been building up for this for 2 weeks (except Fox).

[sarcasmo]

9. You mean Faux never mentions the word Indictments go figure.

I have blocked that channel on my TV.

[hang a left]

3. That is fine.

Fitz probably won't talk to us until the afternoon anyway.

[rw3204]

5. I wouldn't be surprised if he nominates...

Fitzgerald!

[ClusterFreak]

10. Bwah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!

:rofl:

(and welcome to DU!)

[buzzard]

11. I'm sure you jest but I imagine he would be a very good choice.n/t

[Pepper32]

19. That would be a sure sign of desperation.

Hey Fritz, I got a better guberment job for you, just agree not to indict me or my brain. :rofl:

[Skidmore]

6. And if Harriet doesn't have enough sense to feel like a

doormat, then she deserved to not be heard.

[merbex]

7. Whadyawannabet he announces WHILE Fitz has a press

conference OR while anchors are letting reporters read just released indictments on the air

[ClusterFreak]

15. Whadyawannabet he shows up at Fitz' press conference....

...grabs the mic away from him, and announces his new nominee!!
:bounce: :silly:

[Pepper32]

18. LOL

[ClusterFreak]

8. ...a new nominee, AND a raised 'terror alert'??!!

:P

[C_U_L8R]

12. The Hilarious Thing Is...

No matter what Bush says or does....
no matter what kind of distraction or distortion they throw out there....

these charges are gonna stick
and there's nothing they can do to make em go away

HA !

Let em squawk all they want,,, it's just more
entertainment on the way to their internment

[izzie]

13. I figured that is why he pulled his 'friends' name today

[puckish]

14. I hope he does

I hope he announces it first thing so the news people can get in a good froth about it.

And despite my own impatience, I hope Fitz saves his announcement for after the Bush camp's announcement. Not too late - leave some time for the news folks to start chewing it up - but distinctly AFTER the Bush announcement. Say, lunchtime. After the press has had a chance to get their mouths full of Supreme Court jawing and just enough to get the Administration to breathe a little bit. Then hit 'em with the indictment stuff. BAM!

Yeah, whoever said the press would be on the indictment stuff like white on rice is right on. They'll drop any Supreme Court talk like it's a hot potato, and move on to the good juicy "bad" news.

20. Hi puckish!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[stevietheman]

16. It makes one wonder if * grasped at straws in the first place...

in nominating Miers. Perhaps that was done also to distract, and he might have known she wouldn't fly, so he would have yet another chance to distract with a new nomination.

[Pepper32]

17. No, I think he will wait until a day or two after the announcement

We all know that the next nominee will surely please his base (it has too) thus his poll number will go up. So he will use that to make it appear as if American people don't really care about the indictments, as his polls will be up.

Also, he doesn't want to spend his (potential) base "political capital" to soon and risk losing it after the indictment news.

Either way nothing will truly save him. :)
