The Wisdom of Scooter Libby
Posted by Moonage on 31 Oct 2005 | Tagged as: National Politics
Found this in the Washington Post:
I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby is known for his sarcastic, world-weary and at times dark sense of humor. He once quipped to an aide that he planned to stay as Vice President Cheney’s top adviser until "I get indicted or something."
And, what I think is just as good:
He (Libby) adheres to a favorite Cheney maxim that the vice president credits to the late Sam Rayburn, a longtime House speaker: "You never get in trouble for something you don’t say."
The man is plum near psychic if you ask me.
Now, on to the meat of the post. I’m going to go on record as saying I think he’s gonna get off IF the charges are as I understand them. I don’t know the ins and outs or the nitty gritty. But, if it’s in regards to the original intent of the grand jury of outing Valerie Plame, that part’s a joke. As it’s been noted in the media ( that means it MUST be true ), if Plame and the CIA were concerned over her covert identity, she wouldn’t have stuck her husband in the spotlight of doing battle with the President of the United States over federal policy now would she? Who WOULDN’T have asked how Joe Wilson wound up in that position?
Once it’s said and done, the CIA and Joe Wilson will be begging the special prosecution to drop this mess.
