The Libby Trial

The opening days of the Libby trial have been interesting and enlightening. The witness testimony thus far, seem to show a number of things:

1. Cheney was up to his neck in this sorry, sordid affair.
2. Libby was being tossed under the bus by the WH in order to protect Karl Rove.
3. The sacrificing of Libby to protect Rove has driven a wedge between the VP and the WH.

Speaking of Karl Rove, where has he gone? Into seclusion? Abducted by aliens? Iranians? Does anyone know? Has anyone seen him?

Regarding Cheney, the manner in which he is being portrayed in the Libby trial could mean that Bush and his defenders have decided to throw him under the bus in an effort to get him to resign for "the good of the president and the party."

This will not work. Cheney will have to be dragged kicking and scowling from this administration. On the bright side, as long as Cheney is out there in an official capacity, making his delusional statements, it can only benefit those who are relatively sane, which is to say moderate republicans and more importantly, democrats come 2008.
