You Never Know...
Libby Live: David Addington TwoA: He (Libby) asked me how you would know if you met someone from CIA if they were undercover. I responded when I worked out there, you'd ask if someone if they were undercover. He asked if they introduced themselves how you'd know. I told him you wouldn't know unless you asked or saw a piece of paper that said it was classified. I volunteered to him I could get him a copy of IIPA that makes it a crime to reveal identity of covert agent. I took it to his office and gave it to him.
Libby Live: David Addington Three
W - Press Sec had made a statement exonerating Karl Rove.
A - Yes, reason it sticks in my mind, I had conversation with Bartlett by this point something had been said that included Libby. I made the comment to Bartlett, I don't know why you're making these statements about this case. He said Your boss is the one who wanted us to do it. There are there things Press Offices shouldn't do–intell, You can't talk about sources and methods. 2nd Rules of engagement. 3rd, what's going on in a criminal investigation, because you don't know, you haven't conducted the investigation. Those three subjects are not fit subjects for a press office to be talking about.
W - When Bartlett said, Your boss, that's VP Cheney.
W - WH went out and exonerated Karl Rove, just Karl Rove. They did not exonerate Libby. By exonerating Karl Rove in the media and the public it created a clear impression that Scooter Libby had done someting.
A - I can't reach that conclusion. Not to me, what bothered me is that press offices should not be discussing what's going on in criminal investigations, they don't know.
W - He said the VP instructed him to clear Libby in the same way that WH cleared Rove.
A - Let me repeat. Staff table in WH, he happened to be at the table. So was I. I didn't ask question why did you, I said you ought not be out there saying you did or didn't do something. He said, your boss is the one who wanted us to.

FITZ!!
Caption - Scooter, the Vice President wants you to hold these rabbits while he shoots a few pictures of you.
When does Judy testify? Make sure you take Jackie's advice and have one of the women cross examine her.
She might try something with one of the men. Don't trust her.
Addington does look like Captain Kangaroo trying to pull a rabbit out of a hat! LOL
Quote of the Morning by Addington about Gonzo's job to protect the President, he said:
"First, to protect Constition, second, to protect the institution of the President, and third, to protect legal interests of President."
LMAO @ protect the Constitution...Gonzo has desecrated, ravaged and all but discarded our Constitution and our rights!

Good Afternoon,
Quote of the Morning QZ by Addington-
OMG that guy really has nerve...did everyone laugh out loud and snort when he said that?
SS-Judy testifies tomorrow;-)
I'm outta here until later JB's--- appointments, appointments
Bush Administration's new mascot.
On my website.
Addington has a nasty temper it has been written, it would be enjoyable to read about him losing it on the stand.
I always get Addington and Grover Norquist mixed up. They look alot alike.
Judy will be looking for business while in court. The whore uses her body like others use their resume. I'm not kidding Judy uses sex for her breaking news and now it's a way of life. She has to pay the rent.
Now to what I want to say. I'm glad Libby the international lawyer went to Addington for legal advice to make sure he committed a crime and playing dumb about it.
Addington will try and outwit everyone, I bet. He's the one behind getting Cheney his extra power, a neocon to the core, blows up if his way is not done or runs people off if he doesn't get his way.
Someone should ask him if he respected our Constitution/Rights before he helped dismantle it?
Mr. Addington has done his best to crown King Cheney. As Dana Milbank wrote in The Washington Post, Mr. Addington pushed an obscure philosophy called the unitary executive theory that ''favors an extraordinarily powerful president.'' He would go ''through every page of the federal budget in search of riders that could restrict executive authority.''
