11. Is Specter stopping short of asking for Gonzo's replacement?
He is sounding conciliatory all of a sudden. But that's Specter's style. Talk big then turn belly up for Junior.

17. Yeah, but he's giving it away.
Spector always starts off sounding right and goes wrong fast.

24. I think Specter is saying he has no grounds for defending Gonzo
and Specter will probably have to vote for Gonzo's impeachment. That's how I understood Specter's repeated warnings.

53. Yes. Code Pink is there denouncing him as a war cimminal and telling him to resign.
It kind of sounds like Wimbledon when the players are changing sides of the court.

44. No it's not. He doesn't care in the slightest. He has no conscience or soul
He is an empty suit sent forth by Bush to stonewall for him. Nothing at all...NOTHING...will happen to the guy who knows where all Bush's bodies are buried. .

36. As much fun as it has been watching Schumer bop Gonzo over the head....
This is really quite tragic. This is what our government has been reduced to: A dysfunctional mess ruled by what by a group not that different from a drug gang, where disloyalty is met with swift retribution. These are very sad days. :cry:

Thank god we can still speak freely. Bless those who are present with their voices. Now if they could just do it in unison it might be bit less cacaphonic. That may not be an actual word. :)
