Can we please stop using his infantile nickname "Scooter"

[MsAnthropy]

I don't give a shit what his friends call him! He's a criminal and should go by his real name.

[Straight Shooter]

1. Calling him "Scooter" diminishes him.

I'm not going to give him 1 oz of respect by addressing him as "Lewis" or "Mr. Libby."

[ClassWarrior]

2. No. It makes him sound foolish.

NGU.

[babylonsister]

3. That's what his pals call him. How do you change someone's name?

[WI_DEM]

4. Oh, Merry Fitzman to you too

No, I agree. It is dumb and so in tune with Bush giving everybody a stupid little nick name like the 55 year old frat boy he still is.

[electropop]

5. I agree. We should call him "Scooper"

because that's what he's likely to be doing as his new career, in that spiffy orange uniform.

[MsAnthropy]

9. I'd pay for a picture of that!

[Gato Moteado]

6. how about "traitor libby"?

nt

[MsAnthropy]

7. Good one!

[smoogatz]

8. How about "Huge Gaping Asshole" Libby, or whatever his prison pals

will call him?

[MsAnthropy]

10. ROFL! His prison pals will ride the scooter!

[ET Awful]

11. How about "Skidmark"?

:evilgrin:

[MsAnthropy]

14. Yeah!

12. Let's call him by his real, evil, first name: Irve

Which is more embarrassing, Irve or "Scooter"? You decide.

How much do we really know about Irve? Here's his bio from Wikipedia:

Biography
Libby started his government career in the State Department in 1981 under President Ronald Reagan. He has also, at various times in his long career, held positions with the American Bar Association, the RAND Corporation, the Department of Defense, and the United States House of Representatives (as a Legal Advisor).

After graduating from Phillips Academy, an exclusive boarding school in Andover, MA, Libby graduated from Yale University in 1972, where one of his professors was Paul Wolfowitz, and received his Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree Columbia University Law School in 1975. He also wrote The Apprentice, a novel published in 1996.

Libby was a founding member of the Project for the New American Century. He joined Paul Wolfowitz, William Kristol, Robert Kagan, and others in writing its 2000 report entitled, "Rebuilding America's Defenses: Strategy, Forces, and Resources for a New Century."

Libby co-authored the draft of the "Defense Planning Guidance" with Wolfowitz for then-Defense Secretary Dick Cheney in 1992.



Is he from the Libby foods family? Is that tied in with the old CIA proprietary-linked United Fruit Company? What does Irve do in his time off? How did he make his conversion from anti-war liberal to something else after Yale? Who owns him? Who does he own?

What do we really know about Irve?

[MsAnthropy]

13. Ooooooh! I didn't know what it stood for!

*snark* *giggle*

15. Sorry, But Scooter It Should Be

Sorry, but I think that Mr. Libby ought to continue to be called Scooter. Here in Texas you have (Or at least you used to) have men of middle age or even of advanced years still going around with such nicknames as "Puny," "Stinky," "Shorty," etc. I think that Scooter deserves to keep his. Now what nicknames he'd acquire if he goes to the slammer remains open for speculation.

I think it's a shame that the fellow in the Oval Office didn't get such a handle when it would have done the rest of the republic a world of good.

16. Actually, * did have a nickname in Prep School, it was

"Ass Risker", but Karen Hughes had all recorded references changed to "Asterisk" when he was Governor of Texas.

So, we at DU just know him today as *.

Got that straight from his CIA file. P.S. - He's now on double, secret probation. Betya didn't know that. ;-)
