quick superficial question:

How tall/how short is Libby?

short 5′6

No way. He walked by me several times. I’m 5.5 and he’s shorter than I am.

How tall were your heels?

I stood directly in front of Libby in the line into the Barrett Prettyman courthouse and looked directly into his eyes. I did not have to look up or down and I am 5′6. He looked scared, I had read that as arrogance before looking into his eyes!

With regard to Cheney’s blood clot – they must have him on blood thinners but isn’t that a bit tricky when you have as many heart problems as he has? And blood clots – particularly deep vein – are very dangerous – they can end up in the heart, lung or brain which is often fatal.

Which is why I have a hard time believing that Cheney is back to business as usual.

Just heard on NPR that they ARE giving him blood thinners, and that he’s back to work. But isn’t blood thinners what cause Ariel Sharon’s huge stroke(s)?

I’m on bloodthinners every day for the rest of my life, because I had a “valve job” and have artificial heart valves, so I can speak to this issue somewhat. Blood thinners have to be monitored periodically to check one’s clotting time. Too much is bad, but too little is also bad. Too much is bad because it can lead to internal bleeding. Too little is bad because blood clots can form that obstruct small blood vessels in the brain.

Blood thinners are also problematic because they interact with a lot of different foods and medications.

Blood thinners would only cause Sharon’s stroke if (a) Sharon had over-medicated or under-medicated, or (b) Sharon’s diet changed significantly. So please don’t oversimplify.

Blood thinners can kill; its basically the same stuff as rat poison. Like many things in life (e.g. alcohol, tobacco), when used in moderation, its OK and maybe even good. When used in excess, it kills.

Cheney is choreographing his own death.

M-m-m-m. Just like Wild Bill, Reagan’s CIA chief, who died conveniently during the Iran-Contra hearings just before he was to be subpoenaed to testify under oath?

I recommend Ron Jeremy to play GWB in the film about the Wilson’s travails.

Seriously. Think about it.

How about Tom Cruise to play GWB? They’re both pretty frat boys without a lick of sense.

Point for AZMatt re my heel height. The Louboutins are 2.5 at the heel and 0.0 at the base, with my eyes rather to the front of the middle.

I’m gonna compromise w Marcy and call Libby 5ft 4.5 inches.

Oh, and MUST have the Fitz intensity. Volcanic and scarcely contained. Sam Shepard or Kevin Costner. A kind of sorrow along w the drive for justice. I recognize…

Russell Crowe in Gladiator had those qualities
