The Future Star Of A
Deliverance Remake?

I. Lewis "Scooter"
Libby

Squeal like a what?


The first Plamegate grand jury has spoken:

Count 1: Obstruction of Justice
Counts 2-3: False Statements
Counts 4-5: Perjury

You don't do 18 months in Danbury Minimum Security Prison for 5 felony indictments, which can only mean...

It's time for Scooter to start squealing.

Fredo W. Bush and Cover For Me Cheney sent Scooter some seriously coded messages in their statements today:

President Bush on Friday called the ongoing legal proceedings "serious" and said "we're all saddened by today's news." (Watch Bush's reaction -- 1:08)

Speaking to reporters from the south lawn of the White House, the president said Libby has "worked tirelessly on behalf of the American people," and he cautioned that "in our system each individual is presumed innocent and entitled to due process and a fair trial."

Got that, Scooter? This is SERIOUS, Dude, so keep your damned pie hole shut. OK?

"Scooter Libby is one of the most capable and talented individuals I have ever known," Cheney said in a statement. "He has given many years of his life to public service and has served our nation tirelessly and with great distinction."

Cheney said he wanted to remind everyone an indictment doesn't mean the subject is guilty.

For the exact wording of the indictments, visit Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald's website.

And remember...

The Watergate case wasn't cracked with only the first grand jury. It takes time to get the rats to start eating each other.




Interesting. Scooter either squeals to the Special Prosecutor, or he squeals doing hard time.
