I think my favorite part of this whole Libby thing is...
hearing people like Mary Matalin and Rush Limbaugh act like it's no big deal to lie in court - especially when there is no "real underlying crime". I know there really was a crime, but I would rather it would be countered with...

'Then why was it such a big deal when Clinton did it?' - just to hear the right-wing response.

1. And Patrick Buchanan chimed in today
saying if there were no underlying crime, why did he lie? Pairs nicely with If she were an insignificant desk jockey why the need to out her?

Excellent point. Conservative logic. Don't lie about your personal sex life but if you are a republican lying about national security, no big deal.

2. It was the same deal with Martha Stewart. They can't have it both ways
If she tells the truth, she goes to jail for insider trading.

If she lies, she goes to jail for obstruction of justice.

The pugs were all fired up when Martha went to prison. Now they want it the other way.
