Join us on Politically Sound this week as we explore the possible intentions of Iran taking and keeping those British troops they snatched up. We talk about the continued stand off between the White House and the Congress on the funding bill.

Of course we don’t forget to mention the US attorney scandal and what this may all spell out for Attorney General Alberto Gonzales in the next few weeks. We of course continue to speculate on the Presidential race for 08. We also point out what a laughing stock John McCain has become, with his credibility in the toilet.

Throw in our usual banter and Tom Delay being Tom Delay and you have this weeks edition of Politically Sound.

We also have our thoughts with J & Pipi of the JFrancis Show, hoping they have found suitable accommodations and they are back with our little BZoO family soon!

All this week on Politically Sound & More!

IT’s a double-treat this week as Politically Sound first delves into the subjects of the week before being joined by two special guests. First up, the team covers in depth the impending showdown between Congress and the Oval Office over the political machinations that led to the firing of eight Federal Prosecuters. Somewhere between the posturing on both sides lies the truth, and we all hope that it will be brought to light soon. In the meantime we take a look at the strange and conflicting positions that the White House seems to want to hold regarding the supposed non-involvement of the President in this matter while at the same time wanting to exercise executive priviledge to ensure that no record of this lack of involvement comes to light.

We also take note of the sad news regarding the return of Elizabeth Edwards’ cancer. While it seemed a bit odd for it to become a campaign press conference, we extend our deepest sympathies to Elizabeth, John, and the rest of their family.

Then onto the special guests as Politically Sound is joined by the funny and insightful JFrancis and Pipi of the JFrancis Radio Show to discuss everything from American Idol to religion. J and Pipi are a wonderful team as we are sure you all know, and if you haven’t yet had the pleasure of catching their show we strongly urge you to do so - right here at your premiere independent online radio: BZOO Homegrown Radio.

Finally the Libby verdict comes in, and it doesn’t take five minutes for people to start calling for him to be Presidentially pardoned. You’d think that maybe, just maybe, they’d want to let him go through the appeal first - but no. The sympathy for the fall guy is out there, forgetting entirely the active role he played in the Plame affair. Meanwhile, the fallout from the trial creates new questions as to whether Cheney should step down to help bolster the President’s chance of a legacy.

Yep - Pardoning the convicted and firing the unindicted couldn’t possibly do anything except make the President look good….. right? I mean, the Republicans sure held a different view of the seriousness of perjury just last decade didn’t they?

Speaking of Clinton - GOP possible Presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich finally admitted that at the same time as he was acting all appalled at the breach of “Family Values” involved in the Lewinski scandal, he was himself involved in his own extra-marital affair. Hypocrisy in Washington? Gee, that almost never happens.

Add in Hillary’s attempt to outdo Obama in Selma, the continuing wrangling in the Democratic party about how to force the end of the war in Congress, plus the usual collection of odds and ends, and you have another week’s look at the great political circus here on Politically Sound.

Don’t forget to tune into Politically Sound next week where we will have JFranics & Pippi joining us in political debate. A show not to miss!
