Libby Using Cheney To Raise Money For Legal Defense Fund
Today, Scooter Libby launched a new website – ScooterLibby.org — to raise money for his legal defense. Here is the banner that runs across the top:
Of course Cheney wouldn’t have any problem with Libby disclosing classified information to reporters. He was the one who ordered Libby to do it.
The site also contains endorsements by President Bush, Paul Wolfowitz and Brit Hume. Make sure to sign up for e-mail updates.

Criminal, with support by fellow criminals.
Incredible.
February 21st, 2006 at 12:34 pmCan’t he just start a PAC? It seems to have worked well for Ricky.
February 21st, 2006 at 12:35 pmConsidering how apologetic Harry Whittington was for putting his body in front of Shooter’s gun blast, why doesn’t he just offer Scooter some pro bono work?
February 21st, 2006 at 12:36 pmIncredible. Absolutely incredible.
February 21st, 2006 at 12:37 pmBush will likely Pardon the Guy when he leaves office. Why is Libby even worried about a Defense Fund?
February 21st, 2006 at 12:37 pmif Libby is a Capable Lawyer wouldnt he Defend himself?
February 21st, 2006 at 12:38 pmWhere’s the endorsement from Joe Wilson?
February 21st, 2006 at 12:48 pmGOP support for a known traitor like Scooter Libby is putrid! Cheney needs Libby because without him he shoots old guys in the face while hunting quail > lol.
February 21st, 2006 at 12:49 pmThis crew never ceases to amaze me.

Yeah, we are pretty amazing. Thanks for the compliment.
February 21st, 2006 at 12:52 pmThe site also contains endorsements by President Bush, Paul Wolfowitz and Brit Hume.

February 21st, 2006 at 12:54 pmfriendsendorsements like that…yea, hitler thought he was pretty amazing too!
February 21st, 2006 at 12:54 pmI do not think it is ethical for the president to lend his support to Libby since he willfully outed a covert CIA agent! This does prove that the Bush Regime is 100% NUTS!
February 21st, 2006 at 12:57 pmafter I went to the website of the scooter boi I found out that you can give unlimited Dollars .. Very Lobbyist like if you ask me ..
The Trust may accept unlimited personal and corporate contributions.
Contributions to the Trust are not tax deductible.
Contributors to the Trust should consult their own tax advisors regarding any potential gift tax consequences.
Ok so who wants to kick in 10,000 or a 1,000 per month on their Visa,Master Card or Amer Express …
Yes Unbelievable we are chuckle ..gotta save scooter boi from tha slammer so dig deep brothers and sisters in your pockets and you’ll be blessed in tha name of shooter cheney..
February 21st, 2006 at 12:58 pmJust look at it as democratic campaign tools. They are so evil, it makes for great posters.
February 21st, 2006 at 1:00 pmJay
Don’t forget that under the “Presidential Theory of Everything”, the Vice President has the inherent authority to de-classify any top secret material he deems fit, at the time, then re-classify, then de-classify, then…
February 21st, 2006 at 1:00 pmI wonder if there are gifts for different levels of giving. You know, give $500 and get a box of M&M’s with the seal of the Vice President stamped on it. Give $1000 and get a T-Shirt that says, “I helped my boss commit treason and all I got was a lousy court date.” And maybe $5000 gets you a hunting date with the VP.
February 21st, 2006 at 1:01 pmyea, hitler thought he was pretty amazing too!

I think we’ll be contributing – like it or not…
February 21st, 2006 at 1:03 pmUnbelievable squatting eunuch
Look boychild, grow pubic hair before posting here.
February 21st, 2006 at 1:04 pmInteresting cast of Characters down the left side of the Libby site, one jumped out at me in particular, Spencer Abraham the former non-functioning Sect of Energy, and former (losing in 2000) congressman from Michigan. A pasty (not a typo, I’m formerly from that state…) of former Gov. John Engler. I watched them gut the state before losing office, leaving a huge budgetary deficit. We can expect the same situation shortly on a national level as the Gop takes the money and runs.
February 21st, 2006 at 1:05 pmYes post 16 Citizen > Cheney runs the US government, so Dubya is just the puppet boy king on prozac! Even Orwell never predicted “Big Brother” would be a certified idiot!
February 21st, 2006 at 1:07 pmDictatorships are scary, but this one is more like Animal
Farm > lol.

I’m a grown woman. And you need to lay off the booze… I’m being sarcastic. Sheesh.
February 21st, 2006 at 1:07 pmI-Right-I is too scared to come on this thread > he would have to defend Libby the lunatic > lol.
February 21st, 2006 at 1:11 pmDictatorships are scary, but this one is more like Animal

Animal House may be more apt, but that’s just me.
February 21st, 2006 at 1:12 pmMy bad unbelievable thought you were IRI in disguise.
February 21st, 2006 at 1:12 pm“I broke the law and got caught. Gimme some money!”

No problem. I can’t be that nasty. It goes against my Atheism :)
February 21st, 2006 at 1:13 pmFor those who aren’t familiar with Mel Sembler, the man whose name is at the top of the Advisory Committee list and has been leading up the defense fund, you can read about his history here. He set up a chain of “drug rehab clinics” which were essentially child-torture facilities. There are numerous accounts of abuse and torture from the survivors of the program linked from that page. Also, this is far from being far-left overdramatization as it was first reported on by Radley Balko at Fox News. Fox News removed Balko’s column without explanation, but an archived version can still be seen here.
February 21st, 2006 at 1:15 pmThe quote by ol’ “one beer” is great, it just doesn’t specify what his talents and capabilities are……. but to quote the li’l scooter hisself, “the aspens are all connected at their roots…….”
February 21st, 2006 at 1:16 pmAshes, ashes, they all fall down…….
Post 25 David > yes Animal House movie denotes the Bush Regime too, but which actor portrayed Bush in that movie? I think Cheney was portrayed by Belushi > lol.
February 21st, 2006 at 1:17 pmI don’t know the actor, but I do know the character, please keep the live ammo away from the commander in cheif…
February 21st, 2006 at 1:20 pmTalented and capable….maybe.
February 21st, 2006 at 1:26 pmHonest and law-abiding…not so much.
The Bush crowd is exactly like the Omegas, next door to The funloving Deltas. You know the Omegas, with President Gregg, they love to dish out homo erotic punishment and are freaked out by sex,.(Hand jobs with rubber gloves,can’t get off etc), in the ROTC, control freaks ,liars,jelous of those who are individually free,angry,…fags.
February 21st, 2006 at 1:34 pmEmail updates, eh? Will I get an email when he’s ‘turned out’ in the penitentiary for a pack of smokes? I’m guessing you don’t want a name like “Scooter” out in the Yard.
“Grab hold of my pocket, Scooter”
LOL
February 21st, 2006 at 1:37 pmYou are correct post 34 the Bush crowd are more like Omegas in Animal House movie! President Gregg you mention is very much like Dubya > homo erotic sex turns Bush on > remember Jeff Gannon the male escort?
February 21st, 2006 at 1:40 pmLove how that banner has the same background colour and same typeface as the PNAC website; very apropos. Geez, is there like only one neocon web designer that all these guys must use?
February 21st, 2006 at 1:49 pmthat quote across his banner is certainly from a reputable source…
February 21st, 2006 at 1:51 pmI wrote a story for AlterNet on Mel Sembler here.
February 21st, 2006 at 2:21 pm31- I’m thinking Bush would be either Bluto or Pinto. Cheney? D-Day. Great at destroying things and the “whereabouts unknown” fits him to a tee. Scotty as Flounder, anyone?
February 21st, 2006 at 2:31 pmI-Right-I is too scared to come on this thread > he would have to defend Libby the lunatic > lol.

Anyone that goes by the name Scooter is far beyond the kind of help I can give him. Besides that, who cares what Scooter does, or did or will do besides the moonbats?
February 21st, 2006 at 2:40 pmScooter would only be an issue for the wingers if he’d been pulling this kind of stuff as chief of staff for VP Gore. Actually, all the democratic version of Libby would have needed to do is use taxpayer money to replace the batteries in the whitehouse pencil sharpener and it would have been headline news for days on FAUX, MSGOP, Corporate News Network, etc.

Comment by I-RIGHT-I — February 21, 2006 @ 2:40 pm
And a certain prosecutor.
February 21st, 2006 at 2:50 pmThis probably being run like Cunningham’s scam; if someone contributes, say, five thousand dollars to the fund they know you’re a “true believer”, and they send a list showing how much continued “support” buys.
Slush-fund-a-go-go.
February 21st, 2006 at 2:55 pmBush, Cheney, Wolfowitz, Hume — it takes one to know one.
February 21st, 2006 at 2:59 pmApparently, the domain “www.traitor.org” was already registered by Cheney.
February 21st, 2006 at 3:01 pmThe site is registered to Citizens United, 1006 Pennsylvania Avenue SE, DC and created on December 8, 2005.

February 21st, 2006 at 3:03 pmIf they support Libby without embarrassment, with a feeling of impunity, then clearly they believe the law doesn’t really apply to them. I get the impression this is all a show for the legal representatives of the masses (ie, district attorneys, federal prosecutors, etc., who aren’t Neocons) while they coexist in their shadow society, safe, secure, rich, and powerful.
February 21st, 2006 at 3:34 pm47- http://www.fascist-tool.org would do just as well.

Oh pumpkin, I know that republican partisans only give lip service to national security because their leaders tell them to, but many of us actually care about the topic. And when someone like Scooter undermines our national security and then tries to cover it up – that’s important to us. I forgive you for not caring about our security, or america’s well being. It seems to be the current symptom of republican partisan values of late. Maybe you guys will overcome your partisan brain and realize you’re selling yourself out and ask for forgiveness someday. But until that happens, I forgive you for your actions. Those who suffer from the compromised partisan brain are just not accountable for their actions as a normal person is.
February 21st, 2006 at 4:52 pmTREASON:
The conservative value for the new millenium…
February 21st, 2006 at 5:35 pmAll his friends will support him because they all have so much blackmail on one another, they have no choice.
February 21st, 2006 at 6:02 pmWith Jerkshot&Junior endorsing Scooter on his website, two key points emerge. First, this places Fitzgerald and DoJ under maximum pressure in the court of public opinion. Second, It also puts maximum pressure on Scooter to ensure that even on treacherous slopes, clustered aspens continue to fall near their roots.
February 21st, 2006 at 6:27 pmBrit Hume? Now there’s a guy who can defend his imaprtiality as a journalist! It’s all coming unglued now, isn’t it? Thanks for posting that TP.

No, no you don’t. The Filthy Left are treasonous ratbastardcommiemofos who aid and abet our enemies. Your democratic presidents like Carter and Clinton sell us out for votes. Your congressmen and women travel to the ends of the earth to undermine our military. WTF? If it weren’t for my majority share in ACME Hemp and RazorWire, LTD and the fact that I know one day soon we’ll get a huge conservative government contract I’d really, really hate you people. But as it is you are just sort of potential customers, so to speak.
