Disappointment of the Week

There were rumors flying last week that there might be big news this week out of the Valerie Plame investigation, including possibly indictments of high-ranking White House scum (but I repeat myself). The foul moods of Cheney in the Senate chamber and Bush with Irish TV were seen as possible confirmations of this. But, so far, nothing. Then again, this is the Friday before a long weekend. It would be standard operating procedure for the news to be release around 6 pm tonight, perhaps coupled with some terribly important new development in the Peterson or Bryant trials. Remember when Harvey Pitt was finally fired? About 7 pm on election night.
