I don't see that as a comment on his health, which is no longer an issue since the Bush/Cheney ticket will not be running again.  This is just another typical example of liberals in the media acting as judge, jury and executioner, in their own anti-GOP inquisition.

Mark - What antacids do you use? How can you actually stay sane while watching something like msnbc, and then have strength to report factually?

What might happen, or how will it be spun, when nothing comes out of the Libby trial?

There is no sense in being stupid, if you can't prove it! - my dad

Libby's defense is that the White House threw him under the bus to protect the real leaker, Karl Rove. Either way you cut it, this is bad. For you guys, that is. Me? I've got my popcorn out.

Reality has a well known liberal bias.

and, some exculpatory info?? The MSM mythology about Valerie Plame, Joe Wilson, "Scooter" Libby, to wit... "Scooter" Libby is on trial for leaking the name of a secret CIA agent (as revenge for Joe Wilson's false report on yellowcake uranium). The fact is that Libby is not charged with outing Plame, he is charged with perjury and obstruction and that charge comes down to nothing more than the fact that Mr. Libby's memory of conversations with three different reporter, at different times, differs from that of the reporters themselves. Here's how the judge in the case, Reggie B. Walton, summarized it in a recent ruling on evidence: "The charges against the defendant are based entirely  upon what the defendant has said was discussed during his conversations with these news reporters."  Plame's husband, Joe Wilson:  In July 2003, when Wilson demanded an investigation of a White House cabal for violating the Intelligence Identities Protection Act by "outing" his wife, he knew Ms. Plame did not meet the factual requirements for covert status under the act. She was neither covert at the time of publication nor had a covert foreign assignment within five years. However, she did write a memo pushing her husband as the one to make the trip and investigate the yellowcake rumor; a fact  that has been established  by a Senate investigation. In fact, Mr. Wilson's original claims that Mr. Bush lied about Iraq intelligence have been discredited many times over, including the aforementioned bipartisan report from the Senate Intelligence Committee. He first denied that the CIA had anything to do with selecting him for the Niger mission and later claimed that he had exposed a forgery that wasn't disclosed until after he returned. The bipartisan Senate Select Intelligence Committee's report said : Plame “offered up” the services of her husband.  She believed that intelligence surrounding Niger and yellowcake was bogus—she called it a “crazy report”—making it highly likely that her husband went there looking to confirm that conclusion.  And, the bipartisan conclusion of the committee was that Wilson's findings, if anything, served to support the belief that Saddam was actively seeking uranium for a nuclear program. Wilson's testimony to the Senate committee: He said that he concluded the Niger intelligence was based on documents that had clearly been forged because “the dates were wrong and the names were wrong.” Committee staff asked how the former ambassador could have come to the conclusion that the ‘dates were wrong and the names were wrong’ when he had never seen the CIA reports and had no knowledge of what names and dates were in the reports,”  Wilson told the panel he may have been confused and may have “misspoken” to reporters. The documents—purported sales agreements between Niger and Iraq—were not in U.S. hands until eight months after Wilson made his trip to Niger. Wilson recently asked a federal judge not to force him to testify in the CIA supposed leak case and accused former White House aide I. Lewis 'Scooter' Libby of trying to harass him on the witness stand. According to an Associated Press report from Washington, Wilson's attorneys wrote : "Mr. Libby should not be permitted to compel Mr. Wilson's testimony at trial either for the purpose of harassing Mr. Wilson or to gain an advantage in the civil case," Any doubts about why Wilson does not want to be put under oath? Please re-read the paragraph above and remember this... Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald informed Mr. Rove's lawyers he'll bring no charges as part of his investigation into who leaked the CIA identity of Mr. Wilson's wife, Valerie Plame.   Fitzgerald knew from the very first day of his appointment in December 2003 that neither Mr. Libby nor the Vice President's office had orchestrated the leak of Valerie Plame's name to columnist Robert Novak. Fitzgerald knew--based on earlier FBI interviews--that the real leaker was Richard Armitage, the No. 2 man at the State Department and if anything a policy rival of Mr. Libby's inside the Bush Administration. The original theory of the case--that the leak was a political vendetta against Ms. Plame's husband, Joe Wilson--was thus demonstrably false from the start of his probe. The "crime," in short, had been solved. But,  the Special Investigator ignored and still ignores the facts. Mr. Fitzgerald has persisted for three long years. Ever wonder why? First, only six weeks into his investigation, he sought and received an expansion of his authority in order to go after a senior administration official--Mr. Libby--who he knew had had nothing to do with the leak he was investigating.  Why?  Well, Fitzgerald and Libby had crossed legal paths before. Before he joined the Bush Administration, Mr. Libby had, for a number of years in the 1980s and 1990s, been a lawyer for Marc Rich. Mr. Rich is the oil trader and financier who fled to Switzerland in 1983, just ahead of his indictment for tax-evasion by the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York. Bill Clinton pardoned Mr. Rich in 2001, and so the feds never did get their man. The pardon so infuriated Justice lawyers who had worked on the case that the Southern District promptly launched an investigation into whether the pardon had been "proper."  Two of the prosecutors who worked on the Rich case over the years were none other than Mr. Fitzgerald and James Comey, who while Deputy Attorney General appointed Mr. Fitzgerald to investigate the Plame leak. Mr. Fitzgerald worked in the Southern District for five years starting in 1988, at the same time that Mr. Libby was developing a legal theory of Mr. Rich's innocence in a bid to get the charges dropped. This was all long ago. But Mr. Libby and Mr. Comey tangled more recently as well. In 2004, as Mr. Fitzgerald was gearing up his investigation, Mr. Libby was the Administration's point man in trying to get Justice to sign off on the NSA wiretapping program. In early 2004, Mr. Comey was acting Attorney General while John Ashcroft recovered from gall bladder surgery, and Mr. Comey reportedly refused to give the NSA program the green light, prompting the White House to seek out Mr. Ashcroft in the hospital in a bid to circumvent Mr. Comey.These inconvenient facts!
