Welcome To My Nightmare

I really believe that the US attorney story has nothing to do with the tamping-down of investigations into Republican corruption.
I think Cheney is moving the chess pieces into place to cancel the election of 2008.
There. I said it. Think I’m paranoid? It would be a piece of cake: “The war on terror makes it unwise to change horses in mid-stream. The election of a new president is too risky at this time. If you don’t like it, sue me. Go ahead — try it and see how far you get.”
Hell, Giuliani almost got away with it in NYC in the aftermath of 9/11, remember? And he’s the presumptive nominee right now. If he gets the nomination, he’d go along with it in a heartbeat. That would leave the Democratic nominee to scream bloody murder all the way up to the Supreme Court — and you know how far that went the LAST time. Besides, everyone knows Democrats are terrorist sympathisers anyway. You can freaking quote me on that.
Outrageous? No more so than anything that’s already happened during the past 6+ years.
Remember — you heard it hear first.
DUDE!!
You just took my breath away. Seriously. That brought forth an audible gasp.
I don’t think SCOTUS will be the real action then. It’ll be on the streets if what you say happens.
OK…to go further. The “capture” of bin Laden unleashes a backlash here, blood on the streets blamed on terrorists, things start getting blown up across the country.
That’s what you’re saying right? That’s what could generate such a reaction, a “terrorist” strike causing the cancellation of the election that doesn’t spark a second civil war?
Otherwise, unless we got people too scared to come out of their own basements, it can’t fly.
Wow, you got me scared now.
Just when you think things can’t get any more outrageous, they do.
And to think: I didn’t even say “Iran.”
That is an interesting and frightening hypothesis indeed. Inside baseball has it that the Rethuglicans were just trying to take advantage of the narrowing window to pad the resumes of some operatives. Obviously, this would prepare them for jobs on the federal bench (useful for a range of partisan purposes).
If that’s what you meant by “moving the chess pieces,” I would agree. I would also point out that it’s been happening for some time (how we got a Cheney administration in the first place) and that it doesn’t mean that their weren’t short-term interests (e.g., stopping Republican prosecutions and encouraging anti-Democratic ones). The thugs are nothing if not prolific opportunists.
