"Check your brains at the door. They will return to you as you leave the building."--The Management
Just hours after Vice President Dick Cheney’s former chief of staff I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby was found guilty in his trial relating to the CIA leak scandal, Mr. Libby suffered another setback as President George W. Bush officially stripped him of his nickname in a somber White House ceremony.
“Scooter Libby, you are Scooter Libby no more,” Mr. Bush declared, to the applause of Mr. Cheney and top White House aides. “You are now just plain old I. Lewis Libby.”
Mr. Bush told reporters that he decided to strip Mr. Libby of his nickname because “I hardly knew the man.”
Referring to Mr. Libby’s trial, Mr. Bush said, “Just like Lewis Libby can’t remember anything he did in the five years he worked here, I can’t remember him working here at all.”
More on the story.
LOL!

And is this the same President that the media claims will pardon Libby?

Now that takes care of that question. Bush wont pardon someone he doesn't know.
Why they let this guy have a nick name from the get go I just don't understand. Let's hope he starts to squeal, or someone.

Happy Tuesday!

I thought you would enjoy that tidbit. Now you both know that Libby won't get a pardon from the Geribl's remarks. The Gerbil's "I don't know hom that well" crapola about Libby was the same comment he made about Abramoff. Notice what is happening: the Gerbil is treating the little soldier like he has AIDS and the Dickster is moving his money and company to Dubai. Yes, the walls are crumbling mow. And Fitzgerald was a very clever person to tell the real story to the jurors about Cheney's role in the leak case in his closing arguments. And notice that bit of information never made the news.
Great article Patriot Girl!

Libby better squeal because his buddies are fending for themselves and not thinking about Libby.
