CC, if your thesis is that the guy is lying about having cancer to gain some sort of advantage over the press, it’s a pretty stupid thesis.

A man finds a snake in the “snow” and brings it back to his “cabinet” for warmth. When the snake heats up it bites him. The man asks: “Why did you bite me?” And the snake replies: “Do you mean that after Hurricane Katrina, the failure to build a 911 memorial, tortures in Abugrabe & Gitmo, the Alberto Gonzales political firings, the Patriot Act, Donald Rumsfeld, Illegal wire taps, the failure to support our wounded troops while in Walter Reed Medical Hospital, the Haliburton Scandal, and the unwarrented invasion of Iraq, that you haven’t realized that I was a snake? The question that you should be asking yourself is: Why Wouldn’t I Bite You by Saying I Have Cancer?”

“Karl Rove would never lie” nails it Eric.

Patrick Fitzgerald was no fool. He knew full well that his job was on the line if he would have had the Grand Jury indict Karl Rove. Instead he allowed Rove to correct his earlier false statements in exchange for no indictment. The jury that convicted Libby found fault with Fitzgerald, calling Libby a “fall guy”.

I have mixed feelings on this. On one hand Fitzgerald came off as a coward, at least in hindsight. On the other hand, getting fired would have likely killed the case against Libby. Is it better to just get a conviction against the fall guy, who is likely to get a pardon, than no conviction at all. I narrowly come down on the side of Fitzgerald being a coward.

Oh, E-ric! Your services have been requested over at TPMmuckraker:

I am serious need of a flow chart of the lies. Something on one page that lists the scandal, who is involved and a list of the lies told. Something that can be emailed to everyone we know and to every local news outfit (print, tv and radio).

Maybe we should work on this.

Wonder what the FIRST LIE the bush admin told was? The Cheney Energy Task Force…

Jack,

They all manage to keep poker faces most of the time, so I really don’t know. I imagine it’d be hard to accept the fact that one’s very serious and important job as a White House reporter consists largely of playing charades and dodgeball with a brick wall. I think they live for those rare moments when Tony makes a mistake like that.
