ONE DOWN, QUITE A FEW MORE TO GO
I THOUGHT HE WAS GOING TO
CRY!
ON THE SCENE
REPORTER
I was sitting less than three feet from the guv when he spoke for less than 50 seconds today to the media. His eyes welled up, it took all of his power not to break down and shed a tear. I don't know if it was good or bad that he had to wait so long after Speaker of the House Moira Lyons gave him the bad, but very expected, news that she was uncorking a committee that could lead to his removal from office. I think he was rip roaring ready to step up to the microphone after Lyons' spoke, but then Minority House Leader Bob Ward spoke, then Senate Minority Leader Lou Deluca, then Senate President Kevin Sullivan.......then Rowland, by that time his emotions starting getting the best of him. If he had stayed at the podium another 10 seconds longer, the images on TV and in the papers would be of Rowland wiping away tears.
REMEMBER IF YOU GO AFTER THE KING, YOU MUST KILL THE KING (politically speaking of course)
Hey, a lot of people didn't think that the guv would be hanging in this long. And if the grassroots rallies at his mansion are any indication he's looking for soldiers to help him with this political fight. I would guess that most of the folks he is talking to want to wait and see the outcome of all of the Federal probes before making a firm commitment of support. But if the guv somehow finds away to wiggle out of this incredible political maze, he will be out for blood against all who turned against him. So considering everything that has taken place so far, the guv is still standing..... no doubt he's been bloodied and embarrassed, but he's still kicking and remains in ofice, that is until the feds have there say!
NOW THE PROCESS BEGINS
Moira wasn't very specific on the who, what where and when (we all know why) of the investigative committee. Details to come soon. Who ends up on the committee should very, very interesting!!!! Any suggestions out there?
