		<description>I have wondered just why David Hardesty was pushed out a couple of months earlier than his stated retirement date.

Could it be this calamity was coming down the pike several months before the October dates??  Was Garrison installed early because Manchin, Bresh, et al knew early on that she had fibbed to the SEC?

Maybe the dog did not eat earlier phone records.</description>

		<description>To the point, the crisis PR people in this state do not know that they are accoutable.  The press gives them a free pass and essentially there is only one party.  So they are used to saying we can bs our press and it will die.  They didn't forecast that the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette would be different.</description>

		<description>Do not forget Bob Wise has spoken as a character witness for Garrison, with his character I sure would want him to speak up for me.</description>

		<description>As I predicted folks, the sacrificial lambs are being taken care of. Operation "Protect Future US Senator Joe" is going as per plan.</description>

		<description>Wow!  People are jumping to all kinds of conclusions here?  Why not just impeach George W. Bush?  ;-) This all happened under his watch!</description>

		<description>Garrison's isn't the only head that should roll.  Add Case and Macia to that list.  They were there.  They were complicit in this conspiracy to alter official state documents.  

The phone records most certainly ARE attainable.  Other state agencies have been able to get them when investigating employees suspected of wrongdoing.</description>

		<description>from an emailer...

Vic - I think you are wrong to defend Bresch.  She called Garrison to make this go away, Garrison sent his top people in to fix it, it was fixed and if it weren't for the post-Gazette our spinless and lazy media in the state would have let them get away with it.  Thank god the Pittsburgh paper doesn't care (or probably even know) who joe manchin is, so they aren't scared of him.

Why can't Garrison produce his cell records for the key five days around that meeting.  They are saying AT&#038;T can't get them?  Hogwash.  I can call AT&#038;T today and order my records and they will be here tomorrow.  But, for those five days the largest cell phone provider in the world can't seem to find the president's records.  What a crock!

And, now why is Joe admitting to "wishing he handled it better?"  If he didn't call Garrison as he claims would he instead have called him?  its odd he is apologizing for doing something he said he didn't do.

They know what's coming, garrison's records will be released eventually and they will undoubtedly show that he talked to someon in the administration, even if its Pucchio, it shows Joe was involved.</description>

		<description>from an emailer.

Ol' Broadway Joe was a little testy in his article with Tom Searls in today's Charlston Gazette.  How dare Searls ask the Governor tough questions?  How dare anyone challenge King Joe and his court jester, Mike Garrison.

And, where did we get the spineless jellyfish we call a Board of Governors?  OH...  RIGHT...  Joe apponited them.  Imagine that.

This administration stinks.  This BOG stinks.  And, the fix is in.  Garrison stays.  Screw the alumni, screw the donors, screw the students and long live King Joe and his own personal handpuppet, WVU president Garrison.</description>

Does Garrison REALLY believe that he is going to survive this scandal with the ONLY punishments being Sears and Lang getting demoted and ONLY makeing $150,000 and $200,000 lucrative teaching positions?  What's he smoking?

Oh, and I forgot the REAL punishment.  Lang is ONLY going to get six months paid vacation to get himself acclimated to teaching again.</description>

Bresch knew darn well she didn't have that degree, Vic - you are giving her too much benefit of the doubt.

OK, maybe she felt she was "granted" a degree from teh University, but she could not have felt as if she earned it.  How many other students go talk to the leader of the program and get granted a waiver that they don't have to take TEN credits.  

You are being way too easy on her.</description>
