Re: Scooter Libby Found Guilty

yikes! just read that the jury foreman is a close neighbor of Tim Russert. Doesn't mean anything, but begs some speculation...

Re: Scooter Libby Found Guilty

Fitzgerald is going to have a hard time finding a jury to prosecute everyone else if Libby does cut a deal. Whole media campaign that speculates on things in regards to Rove, etc... taints potential jury members if they watch any news broadcast that mentions such.

Are you even remotely suggesting that all Americans watch and follow news? laughable at best...now unless Rove or Cheney were contestants on American Idol or Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader (unfortunately very few are) that may actually taint a jury.

Re: Scooter Libby Found Guilty

Everyone knew Libby had nothing to do with it. Robert Novak already disclosed his sources as being Dick Armitage and Karl Rove.

That's why they have shills like Libby around, amazing how calculating they are in their duplicity. Scooter now gets his pic on the wall at the Ollie North Fall Guy Hall of Fame. Good Americans who took a dick up the ass to save a crook.

[quote=toasty;457681]At some point, the jury began to feel like they were deliberating on charges for the wrong man.

"What are we doing with this guy? Where's Rove? Where are these other bad guys," he said. "It seemed like Libby was the fall guy."

He added, "Some jurors commented 'this sucks' for Libby." quote]

Gotta agree with that. Classic fall guy, Olly North comes to mind. What amazes me is how they can continually find these drones who so willingly give their life for them.

I knew that something wasn't right.

Re: Scooter Libby Found Guilty

I just find it suspect that the reporter they show in the picture was not on live television to discuss Libby until after the photo was posted.

figured out what happened here -- evidently, Fox posted a separate banner for each count, and this capture is from the one count on which he was acquitted. So Fox was correct, and the person that first began circulating this image was the one doing something shifty...

I guess it could be, although I stumbled upon it on boingboing.net, which is really not a political site.

I think this is a doctored photo. I have been sitting by the TV watching FoxNews .. and Brit Hume's show only came on 2 seconds ago as I write this.

Re: Scooter Libby Found Guilty

Oh, and it looks like Fox has a different take on the verdict:



I'd like to think this is a typo, but they have these sorts of errors so frequently, I start to wonder at times...

Depends on which "it" you're referring to. If "it" is outing Plame, as your message suggests, then you might be right. I fail to believe that he was completely unaware of anything that was going on in that regard, but there obviously wasn't enough there to prosecute him, so there ya go.

Of course, that's not what he was on trial for...
