		<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#comment-416604&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;p.lukasiak @ 50 &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;now, I have to assume that all this evidence will be introduced during Libby’s testimony….&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;so, I’m going to further assume that Fitz is going tell the jury during his opening statement that the defense is probably going to waste a great deal of time trying to confuse them with testimony that isn’t really relevant to the charge, and that they will unfortunately have to stay awake during that testimony.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Then, once Libby does testify, and brings up all this crap, Fitz will get up and say “In the interest of not wasting the juries time, the Government concedes that Mr. Libby was a very busy and important person, and the jury should keep that in mind.  But the government objects to the inclusion of information not relevant to the charges themselves”.  He gets overruled, and Libby babble on for another hour, get up and object again, and repeat that pattern until all the bullshit is over.   &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I expect the jury will be good and sick of Libby by that point….and that’s when Fitz gets to cross-examine Libby….&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hear! Hear!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At the end of the day, I think Team Fitz’ll know what makes a jury of real people tick (and ticked off) better than Mr. Aspens Turning In Clusters does.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;looseheadprop–&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Good article.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I also have had the pleasure of donning the No. 1 jersey and spending 80 minutes at the coalface. It gives you a different perspective, doesn’t it?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Crouch and hold…ENGAGE!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Must be some fanous artist’s b’day.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Google is a scream, today.&lt;br /&gt;
;~&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Edvard Munch, December 12, 1863 – January 23, 1944&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I’m tickled that I remembered his name was spelled with a v.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hello Ambassador Wilson!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;We appreciate the lucid analysis above and Jane’s and Christy’s work on this as well over the months.  And thanks for the continuing support as Valerie and I work through this and the civil case.  For info on the civil case you can go to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.wilsonsupport.org.&quot;&gt;www.wilsonsupport.org.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We also agree that Fitzgerald and his team have been extraordinary in his handling of the case. They have exemplified the best in public service.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thank you Ambassador Wilson for taking the time to say that.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Speaking of shiny I was thinking about having an expanded regular feature about mental illness in my blog. ” …OCD Tuesday morning at exactly 10:00″&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; What do you think?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I think I’d enjoy OCD Tuesdays but 7am my time is WAAAY too early. :)  I get up around 11-noon these days (damn SAD!)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Excellent point about left coast time. Will make it later in the day. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Let’s see, SAD, ok be seein’ you Sundays and Wednesdays then :)&lt;/p&gt;</description>
