This is pathetic. At the end of a long post about Gonzales' upcoming testimony, Salon's Joan Walsh draws an interesting parallel between Gonzale and Scooter Libby. Then she mentions this:
In blending the roles of fall guy and co-conspirator, he reminds me of Scooter Libby, who came to seem a bit tragic during his trial for perjury in the Valerie Plame case....
Something else not seen since Libby's conviction: Vice President Dick Cheney's phone number in his caller ID. I thought Cheney's admission that he hadn't called his former chief of staff even once since his conviction was the most telling revelation to come out of the Sunday chat shows. Even CBS's Bob Schieffer, a veteran of D.C. treachery, seemed shocked by Cheney's coldness. If I were Gonzales, famously nicknamed Fredo by the president, I'd be thinking a lot about the fate of Libby (and the ill-starred Fredo from "The Godfather," for that matter), as I prepared for my testimony on Thursday.
Cheney hasn't once called Libby to see how he is doing? Libby is going to prison so that Cheney doesn't have to. Had he simply told the truth about what they did and why they did it, there never would have been a case against him. Instead, he remained loyal to his boss, a loyalty that he will take with him to jail. And Cheney hasn't once called him to say hello?
What is wrong with these people?
