Courthouse ‘abuzz’ over Libby jurors’ ‘mystery note.’
“The federal courthouse near the U.S. Capitol is abuzz this morning, with everyone speculating about the contents of a mystery note jurors in the Lewis ‘Scooter’ Libby trial sent to Judge Reggie Walton as they suspended deliberations yesterday afternoon. In a note to lawyers for both sides, Walton said the jurors had a ‘question’ that he would address in court at 9:30 a.m. today. Willing says speculation is rampant, with observers wondering whether the question is about the law, the testimony or the evidence. As one U.S. marshal suggested, the question could also be along the lines of ‘What do we do if we can’t come to a verdict?‘”

I really hope the question is:
February 28th, 2007 at 10:30 am“Can we find Libby AND VPres. Cheney ‘guilty’ or are we limited to holding the scape-goat responsible for treason?”
or the question could be:
“do we have to convict on all charges, or can we pick some but not others?”
or:
“how many bathroom breaks are we allowed per day?”
or:
“how many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootie-roll pop?”
the world may never know, so i wish they could speculate about real news(i.e. will Prince Harry be on the front lines, and when are the Bush twins signing up to represent OUR country?) instead…

i seem to goof something w/every first post of the day…
Better than goofing a war EVERY day for 4 years…
February 28th, 2007 at 10:33 amMinor question by jurors. Libby will be found guilty on 4 or 5 counts. If it is legal to lie to the grand jury and use selective memory as a defense our jails will be cleared out. Libby clearly remember Tom Cruise and Penelope Cruz visit, his son’s birthday and his help in the fake speech Powell gave to the UN. He only forgot about the time line Fitzgerald gave even with the events above during the same time. Libby was loyal to Cheney and did what he had to as to protect his boss. Problem he got caught. Now the trial brought out more then Libby’s lie, it let the public know all the criminal acts the White House has done to invade Iraq based on their lies. Yes even the Journalist played their part and still are. Trust is no longer the way people or other countries think of the United States. Would you trust someone who has lied to you for 6 years and sent your child to lie so they can get oil?
February 28th, 2007 at 10:37 amThe note is from George W. Bush asking Condi Rice if he has permission yo go to the bathroom.

February 28th, 2007 at 10:39 amIt was a ransom note; demanding a million dollars each, to be deposited in a Swiss bank account, and safe passage out of the country to an undisclosed location.

February 28th, 2007 at 10:58 am‘Given the fact we now know everyone in the Bush White House were lying their lily white asses off, can we convict the whole damn bunch in one swell foop?’
This would undoubtedly save our taxpayers money while using the same logic & criminal tactics used against detainees sent to Cuba.
Efficiency is good government and applying the President’s tactics to this case would not only be efficient, it would be prudent.’

question from jurors:
February 28th, 2007 at 11:01 am“Can we present our verdict by all wearing t-shirts that say “GUILTY”???”
the world may never know, so i wish they could speculate about real news(i.e. will Prince Harry be on the front lines, and when are the Bush twins signing up to represent OUR country?) instead…

Anna Nicole Smith is still dead, and Britney Spears apparently did something strange…..I’m really hoping for the T-shirt thing…
The circus is in town!

muse on this…
Just WHAT was the Prosecution attorney discussing with the Defense attorney within minutes of the jury retiring to deliberate,when he APPROACHED the Defense attorney and begen to speak in a very direct,yet hushed tone?
February 28th, 2007 at 11:16 amHMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM???????????????
The question could be: “Can we send them all to prison now?” Why quote a Marshall?

For all the latest Libby trial news, legal documents, timelines and other essential materials surrounding the Bush administration’s outing of covert CIA operative Valerie Plame and its politics of payback against Joseph Wilson, see:
February 28th, 2007 at 11:38 am“The CIA Leak/PlameGate Resource Center.”
Perhaps they were asking if the verdict
February 28th, 2007 at 11:40 am“Guilty as hell” was an option.
Or, maybe,
February 28th, 2007 at 11:42 am“Why does this kool-aid taste so wierd?”

February 28th, 2007 at 12:51 pmWhen Scooter decided not to testify in his own defense, after his attorney told the jury he would be testifying, you knew something was up.
The testimony from six witnesses proved that Scooter lied when he said Tim Russert told him Valerie Plame was a covert agent. This sealed the verdict: GUILTY.
The pardon is coming, you can count on it. That’s why Cheney backed out of testifying at the last moment.
February 28th, 2007 at 2:00 pmPLEASE, PLEASE NO “HUNG JURY”!!!!! THE ONLY THINGS TO BE HUNG, OR HANGED, ARE Libby, Miss Piggy Rove, Torticola Cheney, CHIMPya Bush, Condom-LESSER Rice, Alberto VO5 Gonzales, David Poison Adder-ington, John Yoo-Hoo, Don Dumbsfailed, Paul WolfFARTwhizz, Doug Sissy-boy Feith, Richard Perle of Stupidity, other CULPABLE members of Bushland Uber Allies and their rightwingnut crank supporters, and MAY GOD NOT HAVE MERCY ON THEIR BLASTED SOULS!!!!!
