 Scooter Is Toast Scooter is going down. No Dick Cheney taking the stand in defense of his aide. No Scooter testifying to save his own bacon. The defense presented was lame: I was too busy to remember stuff so I wasn't really lying to the grand jury ... just forgetful. Not a snowball's chance in hell of this flying. The evidence presented by the prosecution made it clear that Cheney was obsessed with sucking the air out of the Amb. Wilson Niger yellowcake story and he tasked Libby as the bag man for this job. Libby will be convicted next week. 3-4 months for sentencing. Then 1 year for the appeal. Mark it down: spring of 2008 W Bush pardons Libby. Can you say Caspar Weinberger? And don't tell me it's not a big deal that Libby lied to the grand jury about where he learned of the status of Valerie Plame as a CIA agent. The facts indicate he got this info from VP Dick Cheney and lied to the grand jury to protect Cheney. Bill Clinton was impeached for lying in a civil deposition about getting a hummer from a tart (OK, lots of hummers). The Libby-Cheney-Wilson-Plame thing is, at it's core, about the campaign of deception orchestrated by Cheney that wrongly led a nation to war. 02/16/2007. Update. Just got the word: Libby found guilty on 4 of 5 counts. What took the jury so long? I'll stick with my prediction: W. Bush pardons Libby in the Spring of 2008. 03/6/2007. Add Comment Permalink
