Whenever William Rivers Pitt makes one of his many prognostications, you can bet it will be sure to be wrong. This first came to my attention post-election 2004 when Pitt frequently dispensed with his "insider" information that a certain legal paper was about to be filed in the courthouse of some obscure Ohio county that was sure to overturn the election results. And of course, there was that world famous statement about Karl Rove having already been indicted on May 12, 2006. And if you're wondering what happened to that prediction, then just wait 24 business hours. Most recently, Pitt was in a state of jubilation over Judd Gregg leaving the Senate to become Obama's Commerce secretary because it would mean another Democrat senator. It didn't happen for two reasons. One, the governor of New Hampshire agreed to name a Republican to the senate if Gregg left and, two, because as we learned today, Judd Gregg has decided to remain in the senate. Pitt continues to maintain his track record for perfect error as you can see in his jubilant DUmmie THREAD of January 30 titled, "JUDD GREGG FOR COMMERCE SECRETARY!!!!" So let us now join Pied Piper Pitt as he celebrates the departure of Judd Gregg from the Senate in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, recommending that Bukowski's brew its own Pied Piper beer, is in the [brackets]:
JUDD GREGG FOR COMMERCE SECRETARY!!!!
[Freudenschade, baby!]
If selected and confirmed, Gregg would be the second Republican in Obama's cabinet. Governor John Lynch, a Democrat, would pick Gregg's replacement.
...and the Senate Democratic majority would reach 60. Filibuster done
Gregg for Commerce, yo.
[Yo! Yo! Yo! ...Oh No!!!]
Not such good news if Lynch appoints a seat-warmer Repub.
[Stated Pitt's mumsy, Raven, who has a getaway cabin in New Hampshire for the Pittster to hide out from rightwingers who want to send him to a Walmart detention center.]
You're there. You think he will?
[Asks her little Sonny Boy.]
I honestly don't know. It is hard to read Lynch, he's a strange guy...I think Obama will be calling the shots on this one. Lynch will do what he's told...maybe!
[Maybe you should have spent your time trying to read Judd Gregg, mumsy.]
Who do you have there that would be considered? I know nothing about your state's politics. Any powerful progressive democrats?
[Progressive democrats meaning socialists of course.]
Paul Hodes or Carol Shea Porter. Both dem congresspeople. I think Hodes was thinking about running against Gregg in 2010. Not sure about Porter.
[Plus you weren't even sure about Judd, mumsy dearest.]
Will the Commerce Dept be marginalized in the new administration? As compared to what the Repugs did with the department.
[Asked a DUmmie just before the Obamites announce the removal of the census folks from Commerce to the White House.]
I remember Obama saying it was important for international trade, but not hyping it on the domestic scene, which is why I think he chose Richardson for his international background.
[Huevos Rancheros!]
Damned near a checkmate move, if you look at it closely.
[Pitt's check just got mated.]
Would Charlie Brown rather have Lucy hold the football or not??
[This was a case of Charlie Brown walking home and leaving Lucy to hold that football all night.]
Surely Obama has already calculated & dealt with this scenario.
[All carefully planned in advance. Pied Piper Pitt has assured us this is a perfect plan which can't fail.]
However, I am now claiming as true one of the most bizarre incidents that I know about. Yes, Mtner77, I am now actually claiming that my father once got an enemy general (real war, not war games) to surrender his troops by impersonating a general even though he was only a corporal at the time and was wearing a pair of dirty shorts. Yes, mock that claim PLEASE, Mtner77 because I will publicly get your "mind right."
Remember, ol' PJ is no speed_addiction. So go ahead and challenge away. You better do it because the next thing you know, Yours Truly, could be claiming something else really wild such as being published in the Wall Street Journal.

PING!
Top 5?
5. Now to read
Top 10?
lol.
not even close
Gregg is a RINO, but in this case we have a RINO playing the Opossum like a fiddle (I ain’t afraid of mixing my metaphors all crazy like).
This calls much needed attention to Obama’s attempted usurpation of the Census from the Commerce Department. Well played, Senator Gregg.
I’d love to see DUmmies reactions to Gregg before when he accepted the offer, and from this afternoon. Lotta backtrackin, I bet.
Also, didn’t Pitt read (since it was released the same day) that Gregg and the governor agreed to choose a Republican for his replacement?
My first two years of college I was a journalism major at Ohio University. I missed the class when they told us it was OK to end a sentence with "yo."
Apparently you've never been to Philly.
You know, I went there for the first time just now.
I find it hard to believe there is anyone in this country that could be as stupid as the people in those threads. Not a shred of rationality.
FUnnie story about another strange Lynch. On my way home from work today I was listening to FM radio (that's the band that plays what passes for music nowadays).
They had one of those call in questions and this was it: "What did Frank Booth refer to as a 'love letter?'"
I knew the answer. I had to think about it, and my first thought was "an ear."
No cheating now; who knows the answer. I don't have concert tickets for the seventh reply or the first correct answer.
I repeat, if you don't want concert tickets, what was Frank Booth referring as a "love letter?"
(I have no proof that any of this actually happened.)
Oh, come on! Jimmy Carter was the President of the United States for four years. You knew people could be that stupid. You're just being coy. ;-)
Mtner77 . Get em PJ ;-)))
Philly is one of the few interesting places I've been. I know "Wit," "Witout," and "Whiz."
That's all I really need to know. Reading is so much more fun. Cheesesteaks are great, but Yuengling and those righteous pretzels are the BEST!
Pisses me off that I can't get Yuengling here in Ohio but PJ can get it in Florida. C'mon, PA! We're neighbors.
And to make sure that everyone knew how smart he was, he left us with the Dept of Education and the Dept of Energy, both designed to keep Americans from using what they own already...
There’s something creepy about reading a public dialogue between bottomless Pitt and his mother.
That’s ‘cause all us guys in Jersey go by the nickname “Machine Gun Slade.”
Don’t mess with us!
