I hope you & yours, Irving, suffer ten fold that what you’ve inflicted upon Valerie & Joe Wilson & theirs.

OK, Fitz. Take the rest off day off, after the the presser, of course…you’ve earned it. : )

Then file the next round of the subpoenas/indictments tomorrow at 9:00 AM.

Watch your ass, Cheney, Karl, et al…the Sheriff’s gonna get ya!

FAUX Foolz are already suggesting that Reggie should reverse the verdicts.

And every one of these wingnuts — to a person — have uttered a variation of the phrase ‘no one has been charged with the underlying crime.’

Poor. Discussion of the counts was breif. People who have not been following like us at FDL are thinking ‘who is Scooter Libby again?’ and ‘what was this trial about?’

Both were uncovered by CNN. CNN assumes the audience knew who Libby was, and CNN assumes that the audience knew what events led up to Libby’s trial (–> The outing of a CIA spy).

Such basics have been ignored ON PURPOSE, to make this less of a big deal. Go about your lives. Nothing to see.

CNN, you are ran by schmucks or corrupters.
