THE WORM IN THE BOTTLE
So Cinco De Mayo Friday , admidst the King's oily plummeting Poll
Numbers he was forced to plan a rather uncomfortable little Surprise
Personnel Change Press Conference. Scotty the Pop N'Fresh Press
Secretary could not and would not run interference for the King. ( And
I could be wrong but I think piss poor 32% approval rating is indeed
lower than even Nixon's Doomed Watergate Numbers). So of course at
first my little suspicious Heart gave a Happy Leap of Expectation,
because I was hoping that Trip Number 5 to the Grand Jury was FINALLY
going to lead to The Perp-Walk Demise and Security Handcuffs for the
Pompous Turd Blossum, complete with an embarrassed little "Shucks, I
am So Shocked and Dissappointed" speech by the King. And we all knew
that the King did not invite any Immigrants, or other Souls of
Hispanic Origin to the White House for Cultural Festivities, so we
knew that was not the Reason for the sudden unplanned 1:31 pm
announcement of the Unexpected Announcement. Part of me thought,the
hopeful "hmm" part, thought yet another unplanned departure perhaps
due to the Fitz Investigation ?
It sounded like there would be limited hasty staging, No Belly Up to
the Podium Moments, and no Flustery Flowery Contrived Casual Rose
Garden Moments, perhaps a little Fireside Chat nostalgia ? I kept
wondering would it be another little " I need to spend time with my
family " Exit Speech. [ They are my favorite]. Which by now, we all
know translates, " I need to spend time with my defense attorney". I
know that when Ms. Gale Norton spoke about Family Time at her
Resignation Moment , I was not the only one that said /thought :"
Hmmm, I wonder if those
Did-Not-Happen-Cause-There-Aren't-Any-Friggin'-Photos Meetings with
Casino Jack at the White House are a Problem at some point ???" We
haven't seen pictures of Ms.Gale or even
Ms.I-Worked-for-Rove-and-Abramoff Susan Ralston at any great Native
American Gatherings or Events now have we ? Yet we have also learned
in the past week that due to Secret Service records that were
Requested, and Finally Made Public, it did indeed turn out that the
Mr.Abramoff did indeed recieve Clearance to the White House for over
200 Visits in even the first 10 monthes of the Bush Administration's
Reign. Yet somehow That Jack-Came-Up-The-Hill News became ecllipsed
this week due to the Top Gun Connections to some questionable
Activities over at the Wonderous Watergate....
But No?! it was not Bush's Brain facing exit plans, it was the always
tanned-yet-not-handsome-oily-haired Porter Goss looking peevish and
sweaty and less than happy. And the King also looked unsettled in a My
Pet Goat Kind of Way. And now today the Blogatopia Airwaves are alive
with Juicy Rumors that perhaps attach the Patriotic Mr. Goss to the
Steamy Unseemly Scandals that are forthcoming having to do with Top
Gun connections to some Working Women providing "entertainment" during
card games at the Watergate. ( And I had to down a gallon of Maalox
trying to save my intestinal fortitude from the ravages of the visual
image of the Dukestar recieving a Lap Dance... and yet I do find
myself wanting to see THOSE photos). And the names and images are more
complicated than a dusty tangled aged tawdry sex drenched episode of
DALLAS or DYNASTY. And I reflect on that Press Conference and the
hasty illcontrived empty Announcement and I realize that NO Real
Reasons were given for Mr.Goss's Hasty Retreat. NONE. No Sympathy
eliciting " Health Problems" or even the Obligatory "Family Emergency
", or the vague yet honorable "He needs time with Family" was thrown
into the Spinning Airwaves.The body language of the two men was
stunning,an uncomfortable gin soaked moment, like that of two men at a
Bar that have just realized that perhaps "Favors" and "Secrets" had
been mutually shared with the same woman or women....working women.
Oh, wait that would be like a scene off the ol' DALLAS show...so that
would just be too Indelicate for this Patriotic Time of Wholesome
Values.
Many Many years ago on Sanibel Island I had a close friend ( a bit of
a philosophical Lush,prone to spewing BS ) say that On Cinco De Mayo
it is indeed a Date with Fate to See the Worm in the bottem of the
Tequilla Bottle, and who ever eats IT will have an Amazing One of a
kind Memorable Year. ( the Enigma did not drink from the bottle, as
she is too squeemish around people eating worms and also doesn't like
hard alcohol, too many years of working ER and seeing the Worm
results....)
( Irony is a bitter thing, it was many years ago- and at that time Mr.
Porter Goss was running for Political Leadership of the Island and was
even editing a little newspaper, such a Mover and a Shaker....such a
Patriotic Guy).
I doubt that West Wing Enchiladas were shared on the Patio last night
at a Private Cozy Little Farewell Goss Dinner ....perhaps even some
Tequila was sipped while the Mariachi Band played on and one as the
Deck Chairs were yet again rearranged. And the cynical part of me
could not help but wonder Who did Eat the Worm in the Bottle of That
Bottle.... Or did they share ?

WATCHING RUMMY EAT CROW
This week Rummy was made to eat 2.5 minutes of heaping steaming crow
at a speaking event. He pretended to be gracious and humble and made
his usual snide jokes and pretended that the Women that raised
complaints about his Lies were merely pesty flies at a picnic. Yet out
of that melee came a Calm Clear Wellspoken Voice throwing Honest
Questions to the Sweaty Secretary, questions based on the Rumster's
own Pompous Quotes (lies).And Ray McGovern, of 27 years of Civil
Service, most in the Employ of Intelligence, mostly the CIA, asked
these questions as a Patriotic Hardworking American. And Rummy
pretended to be offended, and then graciously spoke to Security in a
patrionizing manner, "Don't take him away yet". Ray was undaunted, and
asked The Questions that needed to be asked, based on Rummy's own
Verbal Spillage. [ CNN yesterday actually put together a Full Montage
of the Mislaid Quotes (lies)of that poor Bastard Poor Rummy]. For this
was not some longhaired Kent State Hippy of the Vietnam Era, this was
an educated eloquent man with Brass Balls and a sense of Honor. If Ray
McGovern ever comes to my hometown he is more than Welcome to Dinner .
Who needs Jack Baur ?? We don't, we have Ray. McGovern... He is now
officially on my Must Meet and Shake his Hand and say Thank You
List.....
