A Day Late

Skooter WHO?

LA LA LA LA! I CAN'T HEAR YOU! (hands covering ears)

The Scooter issue is pure quicksand for leftists...

Fitgerald knew the leaker was Armitage early on.
Seems "Scooter" like Martha Stewart paid dearly for fibbing to their Grand Jury more than for anything else.
One would conclude that Fitzgerald is not only clever but extremely determined to succeed as well.
Is it any wonder Bush commuted Libby's sentenece?

Special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald, the U.S. attorney in Chicago,
is he not the same guy prosecuting Conrad Black and former Hollinger Board members for legal (tax free in Canada) non-competition payments?

The Scooter issue is pure quicksand for leftists...

A more bizarre, confused mini-quagmire of idiot politicians, idiot bureaucrats, idiot journalists and idiot commentators you will never find. A moronic sideshow to the moronic mondo-quagmire of Bush-Cheney's government in general and their foreign policy in particular.

Who is the bigger inside-the-beltway, dyed-in-the-wool, certified moron between Plame, Wilson, Novak, Armitage, Libby, Cheney and Bush? And none of these retards are in any way worse or better than 90% of the people who aspire to power in Washington.

Move along folks, nobody got outed, nobody died, nobody got sent to jail, nobody told the truth, nobody is going to be financially ruined*, nobody is accountable and nothing is ever going to change in Washington.

* Except the taxpayers when all the greedy, moronic, thoughtless, ignorant, Washington insiders' fiscal chickens come home to roost.

Scooter Libby should never have been charged with anything. This was merely an attempt to discredit Pres Bush. You'll notice that Novak disingenuously states that he took lots of heat for not revealing his source. What he neglects to say is that he could have opened his mouth and stated that while he would not reveal his source, that it was NOT Scooter Libby, without breaking 'journalistic confidentiality'. Oh, wait - that likely would have cleard his name, and averted this entire circus.
Of course, Joe Wilson could have told the truth as well. So could his wife. Or even the media outlets which propogated and spun this story.

And yes, this is the same clown prosecuting at the Conrad Black trial, where the prosecutorial tactic seems to be: well, it may not actually be illegal, but we don't like it, so you must convict. I may be paraphrasing here, but that's certainly the impression I have been getting from the coverage I've been reading. Check out MarkSteyn.com for detailed coverage.

Mob lawyer and liar Scooter Libby walks while the railroaded Border Agents Compean and Ramos rot in maximum security hellholes. Maybe the leftists were right about Bush all along: Worst. President. Ever.

Guess I'm kinda thick as I seem to be missing the part where Scooter is in the wrong. Oh well, I guess it's no biggie whether he did anything or not. The media convicted him. That's good enough isn't it.

What do you mean, Novak should be charged with contempt for not coming forth.

Libby lied under oath (as did former President Clinton) and was convicted for so doing. He didn't need to lie (nor did Clinton for that matter), but he did. President Bush decided rightly that, pending Libby's appeals, no pardon should be granted but that the grossly disproportionate sentence (compared to that, for example, meted out to Clinton aide Sandy Berger) should be commuted.

I have experienced personally being questioned under oath by lawyers who posed questions whose only purpose was to induce me to lie or skate around the truth. Their aim, of course, was to discredit any subsequent testimony I might give. Had they been successful, I (or anyone who is called to give testimony) might find himself in Mr Libby's position.

I was watching Hillary Clinton feign outrage at the Scooter Libby pardon from President Bush. She said her husband's pardons, issued in the closing hours of his presidency, were simply routine exercise of the use of the pardon power, and none were aimed at protecting the Clinton presidency or legacy. Give me a break. If they looked any deeper into the Vince Foster suicide, he may have had to give her a pardon.

Frankly, I think the entire affair and the MILLIONS of dollars spent reveals much about the mentality of the US ruling elite and their media lackeys. Particularly their level of respect for the taxpayer and his/her money. The details of who did what to whom are almost irrelevant.

There's nothing new about this of course, I just find it instructive. What they really need is a major, giant, enormous, huge, permanent funding drought at all levels of government, as do we here in Canaduh.

Tax cut NOW please. 50% will do for a start.

Am I missing something here? Did Scooter actually have first hand knowledge or is that the point! I finally get it...

So if Libby was raped and killed in some gruesome prison riot,(really unlikely) Novak would still think of himself as the noble character protecting something or other, and have the added bonus of selling more of his "Look At Me, I'm the story" books.

In fact the more the story gets falsly characterized and twisted through Novaks silence, the better for Novaks book sales/bank account.

Joe, yep, it's the same Patrick Fitzgerald.

we all should be afraid of prosecutions like libbys. when you get charged for ( maybe) lying about a crime that was not commited, then your memory will have to be better than hmmmmm i don't know how good your menory might have to be to keep you out of trouble. fitzgerald is a political hack who had a grudge aginst libby.

Robert Novak bleech............. Stinking pile of self-righteous excrement. Does anyone take these "presstitutes" seriously.

Apparently Libby is guilty of having a different version of a private phone call. It was determined that Libby did not break any laws before this went to trial. Obstruction of justice is the result of not breaking any laws and when questioned under oath having a different version of events from the only other possible witness of that conversation.

cqcq = rude idiot.
