Daily Show Writers: Legends of the Fall-Guy
From the writers of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart…
Prepare yourself, because this might be a shock to the system: apparently, a high-ranking White House official… told an untruth.
Yes, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, Vice-President Cheney's former Chief-of-Staff, was found guilty on four counts arising from the outing of Valerie Plame. As a CIA agent, that is. Not a lesbian. Well, pretty sure she's not. Shoot, this is how rumors get started.
No sooner had Libby been convicted, than Democrats began calling on President Bush not to pardon him. Although Libby's camp has responded that it would honestly just prefer Bush officially change his nickname to "something more like Rambo."
However, it wasn't just Libby who was unhappy. A juror in the case spoke with reporters following the verdict and he said that while Libby is certainly guilty, the jury was convinced others in the administration were even more culpable, stating, "I wish we weren't judging Libby, you know? This sucks… Where's Rove? Where's, you know, all these other guys?" The juror was then informed they're all at the orgy, celebrating the conviction of "anyone but them."
