Place your bets for Sunday talkinghead shows
Looks like the screw-up with Kerick may be buried or barely mentioned on the talkinghead shows

My prediction is that bush* will be sending out his choir (fly my little monkeys fly!!!) for damage control on Rummy

bush* is standing behind Rummy (don't look down --the cliff is pretty high) -- after the screw-up with Kerick and several puff pieces about how much confidence bush* has in Rummy -- it's going to be damage control -- they can't just shove Rummy off of a cliff at this point unless Rummy all of a sudden comes down with some "health" concerns

sooooo -- this means the choir will be in full voice singing the praises of Rummy and how "hard" his job is

those that have expressed critisim towards Rummy will be painted as being disgruntled or as not knowing what is going on -- it's all Clinton's fault anyways -- they will recite the phrase that a president inherits a military -- sooo since the military is "screwed up" it's all Clinton's fault

then they will turn to page 49 of their talking-points and say that things are getting better, turning the corner, and Iraqi's are better off than they were under Saddam and Iran is going to launch WMD's so we have to invade them too with the military we ain't got

3. It's getting near tearful Year End specials, so Kerik will go away
Remember...Reagan died this year. You know they have that shit ready to go again.

4. The Kerick issue is degenerating into gossip
Now we learn of a third wife. The man has withdrawn already. The White House obviously didn't bother to do a decent job clearing him. The point has been made. I say we've had enough of it already.

Could there be discussion about DNC chair this Sunday? When is the final vote?
