Is this a case of later edits on the Post piece? Or is it a misdirected link.

The actual Post piece is much too kind to Libby, presents defense in better than reasonable light and skimps on any Fitz actions or cross examination.

Those tax cuts just keep on working! It a good thing the Decider has that MBA….Did he actually earn it or did his father get it for him?

Whatever. Pretty much ever since it’s been W/F. Withdrew/Failing from every job he’s ever done.

My good friend got an MBA from Harvard in the early ’60s. I remember that it was all group projects on case studies. You chose or were placed in your group at the beginning of the 2 year program and you stayed in that group. I remember there was talk about some people in my friend’s group being a lot weaker than others.

I’ve always imagined that Bush offered little to his group as they analyzed the case studies. We already know he has great difficulty expressing himself orally. I can’t believe that his reading or writing are any better than his speaking.

I think he got that MBA on the strenth of his group with very little personal contribution. But that’s just my guess.

I’ve been thinking about Fitz’s closing statements. I guess I’d appeal to the jurors for their help. “Yes, this is a confusing case involving lots of important people. If people like Scooter lie about their involvement it makes it more confusing. If you find him guilty of these charges, perhaps we will be able to find out what actually happened. Help me get to the bottom of the mess.” What would you say?

egregious at 92 — Sounds to me like there was a fear that someone coming in for the hearing would have problems with the ice storm coming in to DC. Which would lead me to think that they had an inmate transport issue with that particular matter — you never, ever want to be on the road with an inmate in bad weather that might cause you to have car trouble. For obvious reasons. But that’s just my experience with cases here talking. Could also be a case where a particular person had travel issues to work around in terms of a flight schedule, etc.

For instance, a trip to the Pacific?

Wo.

When they opened the courtroom doors at the end of the other case, Sealed v. Sealed, only a handful of people came out. I didn’t recognize any of them. It did seem odd there were so few.

This may have already been covered, but the Federal Government closed early yesterday because of the predicted ice storm. Perhaps that is the transportation emergency. Everybody was getting out of town.

Hey Pat in Alex, I’m in Prince William County, VA and we have that icey cone ice down here, too.

The Decider is having a new conference soon. Will anyone ask him about his previous Plame outing posturing? It’s test time for the MSM.

They fail the test. Why bother watching?

The decider’s qualifier was “anyone who leaked classified information”, he was emphatic and repeated it – classified information with his teenage boy smirk. This is what they believe gets Boy King off the hook. The leaked info was insta-declassified. In other words, they declassified the name of a covert agent and then leaked it. Nobody has to pay the piper. Rove gets to keep his job. Will the press press? I doubt it.

We keep batting this theory around, and it makes sense from a legal standpoint, but it’s not going to pass the “smell test” with the casual viewer. If he really did insta-declassify the information, then why didn’t he just say so? Why have we had a federal prosecutor on this case for the past 3 years? (Rhetorical questions, btw.)

I heard an interview on NPR where someone said that in order for this case to even BE investigated in the first place, someone has to confirm that the information was in fact classified. Had it been declassified (one way or another) the case wouldn’t be investigated at all.

libby; I’m toast

For a laugh, here’s another toasty one:

A friend copied it from an FDL banner over a year ago.

Could also be a case where a particular person had travel issues to work around in terms of a flight schedule, etc.

If anyone happened to have to travel by air, both Dulles & National airports were closed last night & into this morning. United began cancelling all flight at around mid-day yesterday. Coulda been this.

Ledeen is still busy pushing his lies over at National Review read his latest push for more wars “The War of the Persian Succession” this fits in nicely with his “creative destruction” agenda.

As long as Micheal Ledeen and the other pre war liars are able to walk around free instead of being held accountable for the part they played in the run-up to the invasion. They keep marching (others) towards Iran. LOCK THEM UP FASTER PLEASE!
PHASE II OF THE SSCI!
