Well, the Libby Trial this morning is only of interest for people who get off on legal harangues. What can be asked of Andrea Mitchell? Can Libby have evidence introduced for a memory defense [the "too busy to recall the truth" defense] if he doesn’t testify at all? They say they haven’t decided if he’s going to testify [which, by the way, I don’t believe]. The commenters are having some fun. I liked this one:<\/div>\n

"It was explained in the Pincus thread as the Dahmer Coffee-Shop defense<\/em>. Basically, its the defense that says that since Jeffrey Dahmer was a regular customer at a coffee shop, and he never cannibalized any of the coffee shop’s clients, he was innocent of any crime. It seems to be a hybrid of the ‘Chewbacca defense’ and the ‘bright shiny object’ defense."<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
So far, we’ve heard from Walter Pincus, Bob Woodward, and David Sanger. The gist of things is that we learned that Pincus’ source was Ari Fleischer [see Swopa Swoops<\/strong><\/a>], that they all won big Pulitzer Prizes [we knew that], and that Libby didn’t leak to them about Valerie Plame [the Dahmer Coffee-Shop defense<\/em><\/strong>]. Libby’s lawyers are kind of whiney and disrespectful [we knew that too].<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
