If I were Scooter Libby and saw how my former boss had hung him out to dry, I'd be seething right now.

With the time change, people get an extra hour tonight. Some will have fun, but others will work, like those at State, DOD, and the WH who are watching Afghanistan. But Marcy Wheeler's got new Plame materials to dig through, which ought to make for a scary Halloween for Dick Cheney and his minions.

Ostensibly, DOJ is trying to withhold Dick Cheney's interview materials for the following three reasons (in order of their centrality to the argument):Law enforcement privilege: If DOJ turns over Cheney's interview, it will make future Vice Presidents unwilling to cooperate in investigations. This argument fails given the evidence that it has long been routine to release interview materials from high ranking White House figures, going back to the era of Cheney's

Jeffery Smith makes the same errors on the CIA Leak case that reporters have been making for years.

I think the DOJ is trying to distract Jon Stewart from laughing at Cheney by making a farcical argument about why his interview materials can't be released.

Mary pointed me to DOJ's latest attempt to prevent CREW from accessing the materials relating to Cheney's interview with Fitzgerald and the FBI. I'll get into what a load of crap the DOJ argument is later. But first, I want to lay out what the FOIA declarations say about the Cheney interview itself. First, the date.

We might yet get to see Cheney's interview in the CIA Leak case.

It's all part of a pattern: Republican jackass wants to show off what a big swinging insider dick he is, ends up blurting out obviously confidential information without a care in the world for what the consequences might be. Sometimes those consequences are comic, like in Virginia, but more often they're tragic or have the potential to be. And with the immediacy of the internet, there's no media filter to stop the dickitude from seeing the light of day.

Remember how Victoria Toensing always got to pretend she had no association with Scooter Libby's defense team? Well, now she's fund-raising to support Libby's PR flack's run for political office.

Murray Waas proves that Dick Cheney knew he might out Plame when he encouraged journalists to look into who purportedly sent Joe Wilson to Niger.
