Biden advises flooding White House with calls on Libby
WASHINGTON -- Many are protesting President Bush's decision Monday to commute the sentence of former White House aide I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, sparing him from a 2½-year prison term in the CIA leak case.
"It is time for the American people to be heard, " said Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del. "I call for all Americans to flood the White House with phone calls tomorrow expressing their outrage over this blatant disregard for the rule of law."
Harriet Grant wasn’t willing to go quietly into that goodnight.
What IF They Threw Libby under a Bus?by emptywheel
Not that I entirely buy this theory, mind you. But imagine how things would look if, in the wake of the Libby trial, the Republicans started eating their own.
Datapoint one might be that famous Harriet "Mrs. Fall Guy" Grant quote (which Dana Milbank seems to have backed off of significantly--perhaps Jane isn't the only one who doesn't believe it happened?):
Libby's wife, Harriet Grant, was not as composed. In the first row of spectators, she hunched over and shook. A young member of Libby's defense team put his arm around her shoulders. After judge and jury left, Grant went over to hug her husband with a furious look on her face. Three reporters heard her say what sounded like, "We're gonna [expletive] 'em."
Who, Harriet? Who are you going to fuck? Patrick Fitzgerald and the Democrats? Or those in the Administration who allowed your husband to be the sole fall guy for a concerted plot that included several participants from the White House?
Draw your own conclusions; to me it says we’re screwed, again.
