Well, that was unconvincing, to me, at least. The problem with Ted's schtick is that he went from a very rushed, though somewhat rational argument, to fake tears in about 16 seconds. Somehow that didn't convince me. The character was completely unconvincing. I'm not sure it helped.
FiTZUP!
Madness. Madness. Outrageous, THe govt brought a case abotu 2 phone calls. And they just want you to speculate. The defense wishes that were so. Saying it, Saying it loudly, pounding the table, doesn't change the facts.
Is this case about 2 reporters, that's it? This is about a one on one he said she said.
It's a he said he said he said he said she said she said she said he said (shows the graphic of nine people)
Is this the greatest coincidence in the world. Tat the only person he said he talked to forgot it. It's not one on one, it's all the evidence taken together.
Maybe the best example is to focus on Russert. He wants you to believe that Russert has to be proof beyond reasonable doubt When you saw witnesses on stand, you saw them look me in the eye, I'll tell you that Russert alone can give you proof beyond reasonable doubt. You don't need Russert to convict on Russert charge. Now you're saying I've lost my mind. One part of this is, that I knew it as if it were new. No one wished this, but if Tim Russert were run over by a bus and went to that great newsroom in the sky, you could still find plenty of evidence that Libby was not surprised when he heard this from Russert. The first day he briefed about Plame, he told Schmall about.
You know you're not surprised on Thursday, if you gave it out MOnday and Tuesday, you weren't surprised. If Tim Russert alone can prove it, then without Tim Russert.
One of the myths is that Wilson wasn't improtant.
Her name Valerie Wilson. She had a life before Joe Wilson, but to them she wasn't Val Wilson, she wasn't a person, she was an argument, she was a fact to use against Wilson. We keep hearing about merits. The two things Jeffress points out about Wilson. He said he wasn't sent by VP,
THey said the wife was important. It cast suspicion that Wilson got sent because of "the wife."

More on Fitz's closing argument.

In baseball we call it a slam dunk as Fitz finished it off. All the crying in the world can't change that fact Libby lied. New meaning for good faith and fairy tale stories are great but in the end it remains that Libby lied. Little brain big brain Libby didn't lose his memory but just lied. Cheney sit back and watched as his right hand man had no defense. I guess the White House will have a party for Libby before he goes to jail just a way of saying thanks. Bush might have a national holiday named after Libby the Liar.
