So, how many Big Bombshells are we waiting on now?
Lessee--there was that BBV thing from last week. Well, at least we sort of know what that one is about--60 Minutes going to do something on the CA SOS BBV problem (dontcha love acronyms?)

Then wasn't Oliphant saying something about a story about to break from the Kerry campaign?

Then Sy Hersh is supposed to have a big one hanging fire.

And of course tonight we're still waiting for Pitt & Godot to get back to us.

Man, I'm really too old for this stuff.

17. So to speak...
Talk about laboring mightily, and bringing forth a mouse. While this story, on the face of it, harms O'Neill's credibility, I doubt it will have any impact at all on the vast majority of American voters, who will respond with "I can't follow all this -- in Cambodia or not? -- who knows and who cares? The only thing I know is that a whole bunch of his fellow sailors have testified that Kerry is unworthy."

:-(

I hope any other "bombshells" are more potent than this. And if this story was what Oliphant was referring to when saying "the counterattack begins tomorrow"...be very, very afraid.

I help create them. Instead of having other people do the work, join the club.

Peace

9. There is a lot of that going on....
I have something too, but I have to wait for the CIA to clear it before I can tell you.

8. Big gulp---I sincerely hope this doesn't signal desperation on the
part of faithful Democrats. If it does, then Kerry has a problem. I'm so afraid that people talk this way when it's all slipping away from them. And most of the time, squat shit nothing happens. There is no big 'dramatic thing' that they waited for and were sure was in the plans. Maybe all this talk is suppose to pump me up. It doesn't; it scares me and depresses me. No one is going to make some damn big major announcement at this time of night. Sorry, but they aren't.

12. Depends on how big you think it is to puncture
Gasbag O'Neill.

And no, it's not desperation.

14. If the puncture is fatal, it's huge.

It really is time to focus on what Bush* is doing NOW and what Kerry proposes for the future, though, instead of all this Trapped in the Sixties crapola.

19. What Oliphant said was that the second phase
of Kerry's counterattack was going to start today. I think his remarks got a bit blown out of proportion.
