Scooter in the Pooper

In case you live under a rock, dig it. Add Libby to yet another prominent Republican on a downward spin for blindly supporting the man up top. From what I've read in other areas, Frist and DeLay are real bad guys, but Libby's actually a lot closer to fitting the bill of the myriad members of government that screwed up once and got hammered. Moral of the story, if yer boss is an untouchable target, toe the line of the law, cause his enemies are going to get to him any way they can.

Here are a few of my other half thought out theories. Now that Miers has dropped out and the investigation has expired with only one victim (but possibly Rove), look for Bush to give us a Supreme Court nomination that is more in line with what he actually wants in the SC. I think Miers was all a smoke screen to take some attention off of the investigation. That's a pretty consistant tactic with this administration. In this case, rather than letting the loyal right start to wonder about the morals behind lieing to go to war with Iraq, Bush gave them something else to piss and moan about, Miers. As usual, I think his timing is off a bit. He should have pulled her next Wednesday, or possibly even closer to the November 7th hearings. Give things a bit of time to slow down on the Libby front. Yet another "Mission Accomplished" move.
