Judy, Judy, Judy.

We are disappointed. Any profits from your book should go to pay the legal expenses incurred by your employer and to the Times reporters who were kept from doing stories on the biggest scandal this decade.

Valerie Flame. Yeah. Right. I would jot that name on a dfferent page also when taking notes from Libby. Laying the ground work for plausible deniability, a trick you learned from your cohorts at the WH. The Wilsons and Scott Ridder should get some royalties also, for the hits they took. The first amendment deserves a better martyr.

What kind of threats did Judith receive while behind bars? Did Scooter use the right code words in his note to her? Someday her brains will be displayed at the Smithsonian right next to the Nixon tapes.

Lurking question:

What did Judy know and when did she forget it?

Judy plans to write a book.
Now that's a novel idea.
It certainly won't be based on facts

The Times They Should Be A-Changin
Bloggers Request:

Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon
For the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who
That it's namin'.
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the Times should be a-changin'.

Good Bye Sulzberger, Keller, and Miller!

Fitzgerald's response:

Come politician's, journalists
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There's a battle outside
And it is ragin'.
It'll soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the indictments they are a-comin'.

--Bob Dylan
