PlameGateCrash: Possible Indictment Outcomes
The atmosphere in Washington right now regarding the outcome of the Fitzgerald investigation has an emotional pitch somewhere between the night before Christmas and the week before finals. Everyone's real excited (journalists) but, shit, what if you show up for the test naked (White House officials)? In any case, three long-time Wonkette readers have looked into the tea leaves and forecast the likely (and not likely) outcomes of indictments. Play along if you dare.
While White House has reportedly been making contingency plans in the event that the CIA leak investigation leads to indictments, they can't plan for everything, though...Or can they?
Rank the following from most- to least-likely to occur following any PlameGate indictments:
•Homeland Security Secretary Chertoff announces "real, credible" threat to Hoover Dam
