I can’t say that none of us believed Miller’s remarkable "remembering." We all figured she was still having a shot at covering for Libby. And when she was called on it by a man who had already established that he wasn’t having any of her theatrics, she changed her story and came clean. The New York Times was having none of it and summarily fired her. She’s spent the intervening months on the talk circuit trying to spin herself back into the role of Constitutional Martyr, but has actually become more of a Vaudevillian character. Unfortunately, by skillfully winning his chess game with Miller, Fitzgerald had to establish her less than solid relationship with the truth in a courtroom. So yesterday she returned to the stand - coiffed, bedecked, head held high. Her testimony was strong and well spoken. Then the defense began to hammer at the history of her story - her selective remembering. Recall for a moment that her earlier memory problems served Scooter Libby. They may not have confirmed his story totally, but they certainly didn’t expose his own creative memories. Under a cross-examination that questioned her history of convenient and self-serving recall, she came apart. Here’s what Marcy Wheeler had to say: Judy back. Looks like she’s doing breathing exercises, pouring herself water. Got out of chair and is now back. Gets more water. Thanks person who brings more. Looking around cautiously. Closes eyes. Breathes. Breathes out. Looking straight foward. Head darts nervously. Staring forward. Shifts in chair. Looks toward Libby’s team? Looks towawrd lawyers. Adjusts blouse. Looks at lawyers again. looks down, folds arms. Looks down. Looks toward Libby’s team. Folds arms, leans back, turning in swivel chair. Takes glasses off. Looks for tissue to wipe her hands. Judy trying to follow sidebar. Then she looks toward Libby. Swallowing hard, She IS ONE STRESSED person. Looks to lawyers. Tries to look at sidebar. Arms folded, looking hard to her right. Looking for something, looks like she’s sweating under her eyes. Looking for tissue or something, Rubbing nose with back of sleeve. Unlucky Judy, just when she gets her tissue.

Poor Scooter……..almost pinched out a piece of pity for him.

LOL! What a friggin drama queen! And one almost feels sorry for Scooter, he’s the one with his ass on the line, and she wants his sympathy!

Sounds more like a hot flash, she appears to be the rignt age.

Audj, I think you’re right.

However the jury nullification comment above makes sense. Make Libby into the scapegoat, one of a bunch of liars offered up in sacrifice, while equally guilty culprits walk free.

How on earth does she remember what Libby was wearing at that rodeo(?) then ? Downthread she talked of demeanour. She stressed that she’d only seen him wearing suits. Isn’t that right?

yeah, three-piece and birthday

It sort of adds dimensions to Judy’s introduction of Libby to her husband out in Wyoming, doesn’t it?
