Check this out...Scooter wants the American public to pay for his lawyers. My first questions is: what about Dick? He's made millions with his Halliburiton connection over the past 4 years, shouldn't he be able to cover this? Drop below the fold to read the ACTUAL letter asking loyal GOPers for $$.
This is my first diary...if this is readable, it's a hilarious scam to get the dead-enders to cover Scooter's legal fees. I copied this straight from a mailer that was received by a (former) GOP donor. Here in Texas, they're dropping like flies.
Dear Scooter,
( ) Thank you for standing strong and working so hard for President Bush and Vice President Cheney. And thank you for your tireless work on national security, especially in the wake of the September 11 attacks.
Now that you are coming under attack yourself and facing mounting legal costs to defend your good name, I will gladly help pay for your defense by rushing a contribution to the "Libby Legal Defense Trust" today.
( ) I am sending a check today made out to "Libby Legal Defense Trust" in the amount of:
( )$25 ( )$35 ( )$50
( )$100 ( )$250 ( )$500
( )$1,000 ( )$2,500 ( )$5,000
( )$______Other
I will forego the obvious retorts to linking Scooter Libby as an equal to the souls who lost their life on 9-11, other than to say my former GOP donor friend and I were disgusted. This may be the end for more than one Republican in my family.
