Besides, when the Plame leak was announced, Bush did say that if the leak came from within the administration, "...that person will be taken care of."

er...Libby wasn't convicted of being the leaker. In fact, the prosecutor knows who was and admits that it wasn't Libby.

Why let facts get in the way of a good dig though, eh?

Way to pick that nit, anonymous!

The fact that Bush took care of the person who obstructed the investigation is sufficient to support Phil's pithy observation, don't you think?

Actually, Libby just wasn't the FIRST leaker. He was a later leaker, though. But, that case was harder to prove than the actual charges.

Scooter gave us a TV drama that was essentially harmless. Dems got to Posture. GOPers got to Posture.

And the real issue that Bush & Chaney lied to get us into a war that has taken 3500 American lives goes conveniently uninvestigated. Scooter has to wait for a pardon (which means his appeal goes on and he is unavailable as a witness at any hearings) and a lifetime of serving on corporate boards at substantial income.
