Libby is indicted, resigns
 

From CNN: Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. C'mon, just a few more! :lol:

Another domino falls. :applause:

Do you think they drew straws to see who would be the scapegoat?

It looks like he dried to fall on his sword but just nicked his ankle

Is it a crime for Cheney to instruct or otherwise encourage Libby to leak the info about Wilson's wife? Anybody know? I personally think that Rove, Libbey and Cheney are all guilty in this one. I doubt the President was in the loop. And how is Rove weaseling his way out of this one? I'm really dissapointed in these charges. I think the evidence points to much more.

Libby: Indicted, resigned
DeLay: Indicted, stepped aside
Rove: Under investigation
Cheney: Under investigation
Frist: Under investigation

Yes, it's schadenfreude, but boy am I enjoying this. :corn:

There's more to come. its just getting started.

I just have to add...Fitzgerald rocks.

THE SCOOTER SCOOTS

In the blue collar world, being charged with a felony isn't as easy as quitting your job.
Steal change from the Zippy Mart where you work: GO TO JAIL!
Fuck the whole goddam country's confidentiality up: RESIGN!
And I'll bet my ass Dick is straight up with all this. If he isn't.... we'll never know. Cheney's prolly the only one on the hill who AIN'T NEVER DONE NUTTIN WRONG.
I better shut the fuck up. All this treason is starting to piss me off.
If we'd a died in the conflict, we wouldn't have to see what these beaurocratic /sp?/ bastards have done with the freedom we fought [and many died] for.
oh shit....should I have posted this on the Posting While Intoxicated thread?

The pres was in the loop.

Sure he was. The boy is only just barely smart enough to think up a frigging frat trick like outing a spook out of spite. They're all a bunch of elitist rich frat boys who are used to getting their way. I hope they enjoy going to prison and having Bubba get his way with them as his new bitches.

Kiddies, let this be a lesson to you. Greed is bad.

There is just a wiff of traction in the air.

Does anyone know where the phrase "The Fall guy" comes from. It's not because someone is 'falling' from their position.

The phrase comes from Albert Fall, a Republican who was involved in another turn-of-the-century scandal. .

Maybe 40 years from now, they'll be saying "The Libby guy".

Or maybe they will speak of being Libbyrated :D

The Wikipedia article does imply how the term 'Fall guy' could have been created. But it does not say so specifically. IOW is there a better source that specifically cited the origins of 'fall guy'? And is there a description of how the event eventually resulted in the expression - ie a newpaper reporter?

The term "Mission Accomplished" should be an expression defining another political method of lying - or how a nation can "Peral Harbor" another and not feel guilty. But I doubt it. What was it that made 'fall guy' so generic? Was this another creation of W Randolph Hurst?
