WTF is this bullshit? Brown will inform unless he's paid off?

[fooj]

Huh? I can't even wrap my mind around this crap anymore.

Peace.

[MrBenchley]

1. Commissioner Horseflop Blackmails the Chimp

and right out in the open too....

[fooj]

6. I know. It's fricking surreal.

Peace.

[ladjf]

11. He'd better watch out. He might have an unexpected suicide.

[MrBenchley]

18. Another "small plane" coincidence....

Remember, though, Brownie did a heckuva job....

[SoCalDem]

2. Ummm.. don;t they call that EXTORTION??

[DoYouEverWonder]

23. Sure looks like it to me

Has Bush would say, 'what a major asshole'.

[Ezlivin]

3. Do you expect him to work for free?

C'mon, once a Hitler youth, always a Hitler youth.

Brown didn't check his loyalty at the door. He's just saying that he should be paid for the service he's about to render on behalf of his Great Leader.

[Coexist]

4. they've been talking about it all day...

sad, isn't it. But no one will call a fool a fool.

[fooj]

7. Don't say NOBODY! I'm more than willing...

FOOL, FOOL, FOOL!

Peace.

[EFerrari]

26. Let me join you: Pendejo! n/t

[laruemtt]

5. Brownie'd better watch his step

or with all the pressure he's under, he might end up suicided.......

[wicket]

19. yup- he should stay off small planes

n/t

[SeattleGirl]

41. You said exactly what I was thinking when I heard this story

n/t

[wicket]

42. Great minds think alike!

:7

[MadMaddie]

8. It does make you tired doesn't it...

We really are living in the Twilight Zone.

So if Brownie is demanding the * pays for his legal fee or he is going to tell all...isn't that bribary or extortion?

He is supposed to testify I think next Friday...he better not get on a small plane or other vehicles!

[90-percent]

12. the outcome?

A no brainer.

Brownie will get what he wants and Bushie will get what he wants and no one in the World will know anything about it!

SOP with this bunch, after all.

-85% jimmy

[MadMaddie]

22. If * pays for Brownie's legal fees..

Wouldn't that be witness tampering? Or even Bribary on * part for paying him off?

[wtmusic]

9. Sounds like Brownie gonna flip

Probably hasn't been sleeping well. Could get interesting.

:popcorn:

[ladjf]

10. It's getting increasingly difficult to separate fact from fiction.

[hwmnbn]

20. Here's how I tell......

If we say it, it's fact.

If the chimp or his minions say it, it's fiction.

See? no fuss, no muss, no bother. O8)

[Kierkegaard]

13. You can say one thing...

"He's doin' a heck uva job..."

[berni_mccoy]

14. Your Doin a HECKUVA JOB Brownie!

[rzemanfl]

15. This is Brownie's lawyer looking to line his pocket. It's not

blackmail it is Brownmail, pay my legal bills and any damages I am found liable for or I will rat you out. Expect Brownmail in spades from Christine Todd Whitman.

[MadMaddie]

25. Yea...Christine is in deep trouble..

I would love to see the memo's they sent her to lie to the public about the environmental effects after 9/11.

[rzemanfl]

31. I have no problem with seeing her file bankruptcy under the new

law-the whore.

[punpirate]

16. Forbes does their best job to tone this down...

... and not make it look like what it actually is. The "thousands of documents" that the WH has given the Senate aren't the ones they wanted, for starters. Second, they make absolutely no mention of a subpoena for Brown (I don't think one's been issued, given that Republicans control the committee), so, why is he demanding legal support (and, presumably, aid) of the WH if he's going to testify voluntarily?

Forbes doesn't want to say so, but it certainly seems that there is, indeed, no honor among thieves. :)

[suffragette]

17. The flea is biting the rat?

All in all, not a great day for Bush and buddies.
I wonder if we'll see someone else in a footcast ala Scooter.
I have a feeling a lot of filing cabinets are getting kicked right about now.

[laheina]

21. He should do it anyway--asshat.

"If he receives no guidance to the contrary, we'll do as any citizen should do - and that is to answer all questions fully, completely and accurately," Lester said.


They are only releasing this letter in order to scare up a response. He doesn't actually *want* to tell anybody anything--when the letter itself clearly states that to do so would be the responsibility of any good citizen.

Thousands of people DIED! Fuck this asshat. :argh:

[applegrove]

24. Quel Suprise!

:sarcasm:

[carolinalady]

27. The absolutely most telling statement in this article:

"Mr. Brown is going to testify before Congress. If he receives no guidance to the contrary, we'll do as any citizen should do - and that is to answer all questions fully, completely and accurately," Lester said



and the biggest problem in this goddamn government.

[rzemanfl]

32. Exactly. That's the part that stuck with me too. Pay or I'll tell the

truth.

[Generator]

40. Give him an offer he can't refuse, already

Yep, he's saying "give me cover like you give everyone's else's ass you are covering for in this shitty government or I talk". Whoa. He's telling us what we all know. Mafia government.

[melissinha]

28. So that means there's something to hear

Now all we need is an independent investigation. Put the guy under oath and he'll either perjure himself or tell the truth.

[lies and propaganda]

29. Youre a real Piece of Shit, Brownie

Just another added to the list of people I wouldnt be able to restrain myself with if I saw them on the street.

Smug fucks.

[applegrove]

30. They could be just "stirring the pot" of expectation for explosive

testimony - all the while - Brown will testify that Bush was very worried and upset.

[in_cog_ni_to]

33. He's going to end up with the SS on his doorstep and his ass will go to

GITMO as an enemy combatant for blackmailing the idiot. Isn't blackmailing the prez a federal offense? As much as I ENJOY this...my bet is Brownie's in BIG TROUBLE with the BFEE.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

34. Dude is even more of an idiot and loser than I already thought he was.

[rzemanfl]

38. He just can't afford to pay his lawyer, that's all. n/t

[xiamiam]

35. while its great for dialogue...isnt it illegal ?...i mean really, isnt it

[WI_DEM]

36. This administration is up to its neck in scandal and dirt

and one of these days they will drown due to it.

[Swamp Rat]

37. Dead man walking.

Any bets on how long before the "suicide?"

[depakid]

39. " - I mean, what's going on is nuts," Brown said"

At least he's being a little bit honest with himself....

Not that he will be with Congress- and not that they'd care.

[yardwork]

43. and what's THIS mean? Right at the end of the article....

"What I wish I had done was, frankly, just either quit earlier or whatever and gone to certain friends that I can't talk about and said we got to fix this - I mean, what's going on is nuts," Brown said, according to a Senate transcript of the meeting.
