Musings 72--Tick, tick, tick...

Disclaimer: The following is not an advertisement for "60 Minutes." I just like the sound of the clock bringing impending doom.

If you really listen, you can hear the clock ticking down for some big happenings with key government officials.

Take Tom Delay. Ronnie Earle is going to book him this week. I know that the guys at "Smoking Gun" are salivating at having that picture up on their website. (See Link) Tick, tick, tick...

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is digging around in Bill Frist's sale of stock for millions of dollars. It appears that Senator Frist's blind trust...well, it wasn't so blind--it had eyes. Tick, tick, tick...

And then, of course, there is Karl Rove and "Scooter" Libby. Both of these guys are in big trouble and the special prosecutor is wrapping up his case about the outing of Valerie Pflame, secret agent. Tick, tick, tick...

It also looks like the office of the Vice President of the United States may get drawn into the Pflame case. Wouldn't it be something if Dick Cheney, big bad Dick himself, had to resign over this. Haliburton would, no doubt, get him one of the finest lawyers that our tax dollars could buy. Tick, tick, tick...

Tick, tick, tick...do you hear it. I do! Tick, tick, tick...judgment day is coming and it's going to be a bitch.

Of course, we all remember that this is the administration that was going to restore integrity and honor to a White House that had fallen from grace. They came to power with self-righteous smirks. They blamed everything bad in America on Bill Clinton and the democrats. They are having their turn at the trough, and their record is no better--it most likely will be worse.

Tick, tick, tick...it is time...tick, tick, tick...it is time to...stop!
