A very, very important point:
Inevitably, the subject of Marc Rich comes up every time presidential pardons come up. Without going into all of the issues, can we just remind the world that... Marc Rich's lawyer was Scooter Libby.
UPDATE:
Laura Rozen adds:
From the archives. Hubris, p. 242:
" ... In April 1989, the first president Bush nominated Armitage to be secretary of the Army, but the nomination hit trouble -- in part due to his role in the Iran-contra affair -- and Armitage hired a lawyer to help. That attorney was Scooter Libby. Armitage headed off a potentially nasty confirmation fight by withdrawing. ..."
What an oh-so-distinguished record of public service. Imagine how much worse off this country would be if not for the wonderful work of this saint of a man.
