From Think Progress:
Under oath, Vice President Cheney’s former chief of staff Scooter Libby told a grand jury that he first learned that Joe Wilson’s wife, Valerie Plame, was a CIA agent from conversations with the media. In fact, he first learned that information from Vice President Cheney himself. …
– “Vice President Cheney himself directed Scooter Libby to essentially go around protocol and deal with the press and handle press himself…to try to beat back the criticism of administration critic Joe Wilson.â€
– Cheney personally “wrote out for Scooter Libby what Libby should say in a conversation with Time magazine reporter Matt Cooper.â€
– “Scooter Libby destroyed a note from Vice President Cheney about their conversations and about how Vice President Cheney wanted the Wilson matter handled.â€
Norah O’Donnell is asking Andy Card and Leon Panetta if the president is going to have to ask Dick Cheney to resign as a result of what’s being alleged at the Libby Trial. (They both punted.)
And just think — Dick the Dick is supposed to show up and sit next to Nancy Pelosi at the SOTU tonight. Wheeee!
Scooter’s trial seems to be getting more interesting than I expected it to. I wonder if it will get so “interesting” that Bush decides to pull the plug on it by pardoning him…
Bush will never pardon Scooter, not now. Scooter just threw Karl Rove under the bus, and you don’t get to do that in the Bush White House.
Also, in case anybody needs specific rules, the SOTU drinking game on Wonkette is the BEST.
Who is the fucking lady in red who just got his autograph.
UGH.
