Could there be a Fitz anouncement today?
Posted by goose1 at May 26, 2006 10:47 AMI think Hastert was fighting it out with FBI agents who were trying to search his office.
Posted by red_neck_repub at May 26, 2006 11:00 AMLast I heard there were some construction crews in the basement of the building who were moving steel pipe around, and they said that they were making very loud noises that people might have heard and reported to the police as gunfire. So it looks like it was probably a case of a mistake on the part of someone working in the building.

Posted by minerva at May 26, 2006 11:04 AMKeep an eye out for cryptic executive orders, recess appointments and other stealth announcements!
Posted by Nobody at May 26, 2006 11:05 AMDid you know there's a firing range in the basement? That's what the Yahoo article said.

Posted by al haig at May 26, 2006 11:16 AMCould have been a car backfire and some hysterical type called the Capitol police to report gunfire.
On the other hand, it could be a kook, firing off a gun.
Of course, with all the bad news swirling around Bush; his Nixonian poll numbers, a Rove indictment all but certain, Cheney, the de facto president to be called before a Grand Jury, and a longtime family friend, Ken Lay, facing 165 years in the slammer, what better way to regain his faultering grip on power -- especially on the Memorial Day weekend, than to release a staged event to knock all other news off the page and frighten people into submission?
The only question, is anyone listening to King George anymore?
My guess is, no.

Or a blowjob in the Oval Office.
Posted by Christopher at May 26, 2006 11:54 AMIt was just Mary banging Condi or vice versa.
Posted by red_neck_repub at May 26, 2006 11:58 AMI'm with you, pessimist, something is going on. My guess is Fitz is going to make an announcement today...
Posted by pol at May 26, 2006 12:13 PMIt's being reported that the "shots" were a mechanic using an air hammer. King Dumbya has everyone scared of their own shadow so this is what you get.
Posted by red_neck_repub at May 26, 2006 12:41 PMFigured it was something like that. I can't quite get to the point where everything is a conspiracy.
Posted by Musmanno at May 26, 2006 12:52 PMI'll bet Osama is laughing his fucking ass off. A workman just doing his job brings Capitol Hill to a standstill for over 5 hours, with congress-critters prisoners in their own offices, because someone thought they saw their own shadow.
Posted by red_neck_repub at May 26, 2006 01:08 PMChoose one:
a) Nervous as a long-tailed cat in a room full of rockers.
OR
b) Sweating like a whore in church.
Everybody's pretty darn jumpy in DC these days. Why d'ya thing that is? (:>

The entire US government grinds to a halt over some noise from a jack hammer?
Posted by Christopher at May 26, 2006 01:40 PMI agree and also smell a rat. This "event" was meant to stall something, distract from something going down today, or to frighten someone ............this is a psyops deal I think. This government is desperate right now......we all have to be very very vigilant. This is not the time to trust government.
Posted by s at May 26, 2006 01:59 PMS, of course you smell a rat. We have become suspicious of everything that happens today and with good cause. Believe nothing you read or hear is my motto today.
