"If it pleases the Chairman, I'd like to request more time to tighten the straps a bit."

Watching Gonzo get pummelled is almost porn. He's floundering so terribly I can see why all the leaks said that he was floundering terribly. It's just a few hours in, some kernal of cathartic brilliance still might be possible. And I'm not above assuming we'll get some other distracting pseudo-good news dumped by those loyal Bushies. Who, by the way, jumped the shark back when Dubya tabbed Harriet Miers as his Supremes pick.

Hope you've got a better excuse than "I don't recall" today. Rock on.
