Wonkette Contest: Col. Mustard in the Lounge with a Wrench

Wonkette is running a contest where you can predict the indictments that Patrick Fitzgerald will be handing down. You can email your guess -- people who will be indicted AND for what crimes will they be indicted (obstruction of justice, conspiracy, etc.) -- to her at tips@wonkette.com. If you would rather play at home, she has created a handy bingo card. The New York Times says that Fitzgerald will not be issuing a final report, which means that indictments should be a near certainty, but that he will not be taking any action in the case this week, which will disappoint people around DC who were set to celebrate indictments the way that most people celebrate St. Paddy's Day. Then again, we are speaking about the Times. Given its coverage of this case previously, this morning's Times article likely means that Fitzgerald will issue a final report today saying "no indictments." And if that happens, we would need to start discussing Iraq, or social security privatization, or LaVar Arrington, which would lead us to drink again.

UPDATE: Via Josh Marshall (looking very serious in his new photo), The Hotline has a list of people "who have either testified or have been interviewed by Patrick Fitzgerald (or by FBI agents) in connection with the Plame probe." (I have had dinner with one of them!) Use for your guesses to Wonkette.
