Fleischer: Libby discussed CIA official over lunch.
“Former White House press secretary Ari Fleischer testified Monday that then-colleague I. Lewis ‘Scooter’ Libby told him over lunch that the wife of a prominent war critic worked at the CIA,” the AP reports. “Fleischer said the conversation happened July 7, 2003, days before Libby told investigators he was surprised to learn about the CIA operative from a reporter. That discrepancy is at the heart of Libby’s perjury and obstruction trial.”

January 29th, 2007 at 2:38 pm“The CIA Leak/PlameGate Resource Center.”
Voooorrrooooom…….
Goes the bus, and he’s throwin it down.
Scooty needs to find serious protectionism for his rear-facing chataclysmic invasion.
January 29th, 2007 at 2:39 pmHeh. Why would he tell Ari? Sounds like Scooter was quite proud of his knowledge of this info. You know, kinda like someone who spreads gossip is just bursting at the seams to tell someone in a “I know something that you don’t know!” way.
January 29th, 2007 at 2:43 pmWell golly based on that testimony he’s GUILTY.
January 29th, 2007 at 2:43 pmFleischer = Rat jumping ship.
January 29th, 2007 at 2:49 pmIt may only be a “Scooter” but Rove, Cheney, and Bush are going to feel like it was a bus that ran over them.
Let the information flow.
January 29th, 2007 at 2:49 pmCH(IMPEACH) THE BASTARDS!
January 29th, 2007 at 2:50 pm“Are you ready to order, gentlemen?
January 29th, 2007 at 2:53 pmIf you’ve already forgotten what the menu says, Mr. Libby, may I suggest the goose, slow roasted over a wet aspen log? For dessert, we have a nice yellow cake…hmmm?”
I heard Dennis Prager say today, on his radio show, that he feels sorry for Scooter Libby. He can’t seem to figure out why he’s even been indicted. The delusion on the right these days is so incredibly deep. I used to think it was intentional propaganda. But I’m starting to believe that they’re literally insane.
Phylo out
January 29th, 2007 at 2:56 pmNaaaah. None of this will stick to Rove, Cheney, and Bush. That’s what throwing Scooter under the bus achieves, that’s why it’s being done.
Think that Libby will keep falling on his sword to uphold the honor of those who betrayed him?
Think that it makes any difference WHAT he does at this point?
Gotta love that “Bush Family Loyalty”.
January 29th, 2007 at 2:56 pmThe only way to change the subject may be to attack Iran.
January 29th, 2007 at 3:00 pmI thought the big “scandal” of this admin was going to be Iraq, so why spend any time on this? You believe that you have something legitimate on Iraq, so act – I’m waiting.
January 29th, 2007 at 3:43 pmSo the debate is whether Team Cheney or Team Bush leaked first?
Pick your poison, wingnutz.
January 29th, 2007 at 3:50 pmBye, Scooter.
Now we know why Ari suddenly felt the need to spend more time with the family.
January 29th, 2007 at 3:56 pmOnly someone drunk on the neocon kool-aid would be unable to see the connection between the Libby trial and the occupation of Iraq.
I thought Bush wanted to know who it was that outed Valerie Plame. I’m waiting.
January 29th, 2007 at 3:58 pmI thought Bush wanted to be a uniter, not divider. I’m waiting.
I thought Bush wanted to lead with bipartisanship. I’m waiting.
I thought Bush wanted to listen to military commanders on Iraq. I’m waiting.
I thought the Republican Congress was going to finish the second portion of the report on Iraq. I’m waiting.
I thought Bush wanted to restore integrity and honesty to the White House. I’m waiting.
I thought Bush wanted to disentangle the U.S. from nation building. I’m waiting.
I thought the Iraq occupation would pay for itself. I’m waiting.
I thought the Iraq occupation was supposed to be no more than six months in length. I’m waiting.
Iraq is way beyond the classification as a “scandal” This particular instance of the machinations of Chainee and Scooter is one scandal of many that led to the serious calamity which the illegal invasion and occupation of Iraq has become.
January 29th, 2007 at 4:00 pmAlthough I hate the word this whole group is a bunch of lying ruthless “scumbags”…
January 29th, 2007 at 4:28 pmout with the whole lot of them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bush wants to be liked. He knows that he currently is not (regardless of the “I don’t pay attention to polls” rhetoric).
I am inclined to wonder if he would pardon Scooter – unless he does it last minute – so that he wouldn’t upset people anymore than they already are….
January 29th, 2007 at 4:35 pmFan, meet shit. shit, meet fan.

You are hilarious!!!
January 29th, 2007 at 4:37 pmGotcha, Scoots.
January 29th, 2007 at 4:41 pmThis case is no longer a “scooter” – it’s a Certified Crotch Rocket!! Yeparoo! Wheeeeeee and away this administration goes….just like Roto Rooter….away go bubbles down the drain!! Wheeee! What a ride this one will be before it comes to a grinding halt at impeachment of two charlatans.
January 29th, 2007 at 4:47 pmThe longer this case continues the more the public will learn why Fitzgerald could never get the truth. Libby was only one idiot sent out to spread the word about the CIA agent. Cheney knew the more idiots that told the leak the harder it would be to get the truth. Wells knows he’s working with nothing but it’s an honor for the 2006 Attorney of the Year vs 2005 Attorney of the Year. Some say Bush will pardon Libby after he found guilty. Well Libby might want to plan like Kenny boy did and have a fake death and move to an island. Let the case get dismissed due to death then later after things cool off show up with no pending criminal charges. Look Americans have forgotten all about Kenny Boy well not the people he stole money from but the rest of the media. If I’m wrong look at the man caught after 43 years and his family told everyone he was dead but lived right up the street.
January 29th, 2007 at 6:11 pmFan, meet shit. Shit meet fan. Ha! Ha!
These guys may not recall much of anything, so getting a factual time table of events may be nearly an impossible task.
You know, these guys come up a little short in the brains department. A lot short!!!! How could morons be expected to know the times and dates. Zeros in their Swiss bank accounts: yes. A time table of events? No! Ain’t that asking a bit much of these intellectually-challenged folks.

January 29th, 2007 at 9:12 pmThe wheels on the bus go round and round
Round and round
Round and round
The wheels on the bus go round and round
January 29th, 2007 at 10:20 pmRight over Libby’s ass!
…I’m waiting.
