Anyone want to bet that on the Fitzmas Day (or Patranakka, if you prefer) the 1600 Crew announces
the capture of bin Laden
the capture of the #2 al-Qaeda guy in Iraq
the retirement of Darth Dick
the invasion of Syria
the invasion of Venezuala
the nationalization of The New York Times
that Harriet Miers is stepping aside, and Neil Bush will be nominated in her place, because of his long-time relationship with the Preznit and his moral fiber
or some variation thereof to gain control of the news cycle for another 24 hours while they get suitable lies about everyone in America processed. After all, what they do know can hurt you and now's the time for them to prove it.
Incoming....

I would not be surprised if they pull a stunt. I'm sure they're dusting off plans to bomb Syria for Harriri's death. These guys are drunk with power and they don't want to give it up.

Yeah. I expect something exactly like that to happen.
Imagine if these people put all the energy they waste on gimmicks and games into actual stewardship of the country.
Just posted something over at my place to the effect that if Fitz slaps these guys with real felony charges--perhaps treason--you'll see the noise machine switch to a new frequency.
Expect to hear a lot about "national security," I think.
I know one headline that the 1600 Crew WON'T use to spin the news cycle (since when has the Iraq invasion been "news"): their greedy war has killed more than 2000 soldiers!!

I'm thinking some sort of elevation of the Sesame Street Color Terror Chart.
"Kinda like Bill Clinton launching a cruise missile attack on Iraq every time Monica Lewinsky farted in public."
Hey, Bean. You know Clinton was shooting at Osama bin Laden, right? While you right-wingers were distracting us with that Lewinsky nonsense, he was trying to prevent a terrorist attack.
I'm anxious to see your answer to that one.
