Porter Goss resigning is going to blow the Patrick Kennedy story off the

[yellowcanine]

front pages and the weekend shows. And better get out of the way of the shit storm if it turns out that this is the first casualty of Hookergate (Don't you love the sound of that? Rolls right off the tongue, so to speak).

1. Hookergate . . . gives me quivers n/t

[hholli11]

2. it SHOULD...but it won't. nt

5. too many RW'ers want him to go down (and many on cnn are helping)--I

have not tuned in msnbc or fox).

3. Boy, are you an optimist!

Goss will be an aside. Kennedy will be the news!

8. We shall see. Anyway - you heard it here first. Drunk congressman

stories - even a Kennedy - are a dime a dozen, particularly if the congressman admits he has a problem and gets treatment. An unexplained resignation of a newly appointed CIA Director with open speculation about hookers - now that is something else. IMO this is potentially a story that could resonate right into the fall elections.

4. Yeah, right

A Kennedy in a car accident, it's a goldmine

6. Not so far.

7. Agreed....

old Wolf just spent a good portion of the last hour on Goss.

10. especially because there's been no reason given

for his departure. And no replacement ready. Too much of this just seems to have caught the Bots off guard ... and their stenographers haven't been told how to spin it, so they're all speculating.

9. What happened to Goss's ADAMANT DENIAL OF WRONG DOING!

Don't tell me another Repug was lying!

11. First Card, then DeLay, then McClellan, and now Goss.

This is making me think of that Simpsons Halloween episode when the machines started attacking people like in Stephen King's Maximum Overdrive. At first, everything shut down on Y2K. Then airplanes started dropping out of the sky one by one. And then the machines powered back up and went on a rampage. These Bush administration officials remind me of the airplanes.

12. Throw in Libby and Rove and you have a double trifecta. Sweet.
