Before we discuss Gone-zo's big day out up on Capitol Hill we need to announce the surprise winner of our who-gets-sacked-first competition. Brash outsider, England cricket coach Duncan Fletcher, has stunned the gambling community with a strong, late run from way back in the field to snatch the much coveted first annual Yank in London who-gets-sacked-first award. As Mr. Fletcher did not even get a look in at the opening of the competition yesterday's announcement of his resignation came as a complete shock to many. May I offer my congratulations to you Mr. Fletcher? You may stop by anytime to collect your YIL cup.
Now on to the remaining contestants for those of you who made an each way bet.
Yesterday US Attorney General and Bush succubus Antonio "Gone-zo" Gonzales's made the trek to testify, under oath, before the Senate Judiciary Committee. Even Senators that used to be his mates, such as my own Senator the cowardly and inconsistent Arlen Specter, gave him a rather hard time but, proving his considerable courage in the face of his own incompetence, he has vowed to stay. Even the good folks over at the National Review found his performance less than convincing. I wonder if Gone-zo took a baloney sandwich with him as his packed lunch.
Barring unusual events it would seem almost certain to me that at this juncture England football manager Steve "I've never really coached a winning team and it doesn't look like I'm going to start now" McClaren will end this competition mired in last place. Who would have thought that even a few weeks ago!
