I'm looking forward to mid-October when Fitzgerald's investigation concludes. Will Turd Blossom be doing a perp walk?

Roberts Is New Chief Justice ...................................................................... ap on Yahoo ^ \| 9/29/05 \| Jesse J. Holland - ap WASHINGTON - John Glover Roberts Jr. won confirmation as the 17th chief justice of the United States Thursday, overwhelmingly confirmed by the Senate to lead the Supreme Court through turbulent social issues for generations to come. The Senate voted 78-22 to confirm Roberts — a 50-year-old U.S. Appeals judge from the Washington suburb of Chevy Chase, Md. — as the successor to the late William H. Rehnquist, who died earlier this month. Roberts watched the Senate vote on television from the White House's Roosevelt Room. He and his wife Jane, were then to have lunch with President Bush and first lady Laura Bush, followed by a swearing-in ceremony at the White House so he could take his seat in time for the new court session Monday.

Hamilton County commissioner arrested in Tennessee Waltz AP State Wire \| 9/29/05 \| BILL POOVEY CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (AP) — Hamilton County Commissioner William Cotton was charged with bribery in the FBI’s Tennessee Waltz government corruption investigation Thursday and surrendered to authorities. “He has been arrested on a federal complaint that charges him with violations of the Hobbs Act that has been used throughout the Tennessee Waltz Investigation,” said FBI resident special agent Tim Burke. “It is related to that investigation.” Cotton, a Democrat, couldn’t be reached for comment because he was in custody. Federal officials said he doesn’t yet have an attorney. The federal case involves a bogus computer company set up to seek legislative favors in return for payoffs. The investigation has led to bribery and conspiracy charges against five current or former state lawmakers, two individuals accused of being bag men for the officials and a Shelby County commissioner. Burke said the Tennessee Waltz is “still an ongoing investigation even though the undercover aspect has concluded.” He said the FBI and federal prosecutors were “still pursuing any and all public officials who accepted bribe payments from the undercover agents.” Three people have pleaded guilty, including former state Rep. Chris Newton.
