According to today's reports, Scooter Libby will not testify. Nor will Vice President Cheney. Some are speculating that it means they're confident the prosecution has not made its case. Others are writing that Libby's memory is notoriously bad.
Did Steve Martin write this? In his old stand-up routine, Steve Martin had a bit where he would say "I forgot" to explain any transgression. It was as pathetically amusing in the late 1970s as it is today, but today we've got political operatives up on perjury charges doing it.
This man -- Libby -- is ruined. Either he's completely full of it and is covering for someone higher (his former boss perhaps?) or he actually is that forgetful. Would you hire someone who doesn't have the mental capacity to remember his potential political imbroglios? How effective an advocate can he be? Add to that his significant legal bills and his only option would be to write a memoir of life in the Bush-Cheney administration. Best seller? Possibly. But by the time it comes out, this country will be so happy they are out of office that its sales might be less than stellar.
