Demagogue

Scooter Libby has been handed five indictments on the following charges: one count of obstruction of justice, two counts of making false statements and two counts of perjury.

Hmm, something tells me these are going to be tricky to characterize as frivolous.

Also, Rove isn't off the hook.

Rove's attorney Robert Luskin issued a statement Friday that Fitzgerald "has advised Mr. Rove that he has made no decision about whether or not to bring charges."

"Mr. Rove will continue to cooperate fully with the Special Counsel's efforts to complete the investigation," Luskin's statement said. "We are confident that when the Special Counsel finishes his work, he will conclude that Mr. Rove has done nothing wrong."

As Rove departed his home in Washington Friday morning, he told reporters, "I am going to have a great Friday and a fantastic weekend and hope you do too."

Nice try, Karl.

Scooter Libby has already resigned. According to former Cheney aide Mary Matalin, "Scooter is to Cheney as Cheney is to Bush."

Awww, Cheney has lost his Scooter.
