Whoa! (Potentially.)

AmericaBlog passes on the news that Scott McClellan, former White House Press Secretary, has a new memoir coming out in the spring, entitled What Happened - and based on the following excerpt, the title isn't referring to the most recent...

No Blame in Plame

A judge just dismissed the Plame-Wilson civil suit against the Bush administration. Don't worry...I'm sure the criminal investigation Fitzgerald is conducting will hold someone accountable in all of this. Oh, wait......

Dose of Durst

President Bush commuted Scooter Libby's sentence, calling 30 months for perjury "excessive." We, who have been sentenced to serve 96 months living under his administration, can relate. So we can convict Libby, but can't make him serve. What if...

Public Service Scooter

Bush said he let Libby off due to his "exceptional public service," as if Scootchy was only hanging out in Cheney's office because he felt that powerful call to serve the people. I'm sure countless friends said to him, "Don't...

Olbermann on Libby pardon: "In that moment, you ceased to be the president of the United States."

Back in my twenties, when Ronald Reagan was the face of right-wing evil, I disdained everyone who was politically to my right. In my mind, Liberal Democrats and conservative Republicans occupied the same undifferentiated "mainstream," and only radical leftists counted...

5th of July

In honor of Independence Day, the Working Assets Blog is going to spend today drawing lessons from the Declaration of Independence. In it, the Revolutionary founders of our nation set out the principles they believed gave them the right to...

Olbermann's Declaration of Independence

Olbermann takes his responsibility seriously. Invoking John Wayne, James Madison and Richard Nixon to contrast the state of Bush's petty partisanship and irresponsible abandonment of Presidential duty, Olbermann's "Special Comment" is worthy of this day in history. President Nixon did...

3 Myths About Libby's Pardon

After I read a particular conservative columnist this morning, describing why the Libby pardon (and yes, I insist on calling it a "pardon") was the only sane act in what he saw as the farce of Plamegate, I wanted to...

Joke of the Day

The great thing about America is we believe in justice for everyone. Even the rich and famous need to pay for their crimes, people like Paris Hilton. There's a reason she served more hard time than Scooter Libby, people, and...

Freedom's Just Another Word...

As I read of Bush's pardon (why are they saying that he is "commuting the sentence" rather than "pardoning"...let's let the lawyers argue that out) of Libby, I can only think of Janis Joplin's "Me and Bobby McGee": Freedom's just...

Why I Like Working Assets

GOP candidates dance around the issue of what to do with Scooter, Democratic operative James Carville wrote a testimonial on Libby's behalf, and even Obama's chief counsel spoke positively about a pardon. That's why I like Working Assets. While others...

Report to Prison

Well, this will put more pressure on the President. A federal judge on Thursday ordered I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby to report to prison while his attorneys appeal his perjury and obstruction convictions. We have to make sure to keep our...

Dose of Durst

In addition to 30 months in prison, Scooter Libby was also fined a quarter million dollars, expected to be paid by the Scooter Libby Defense Fund. Or, as we know it: Halliburton. We know Halliburton will be defending someone...

Libby - 30 Months in Prison

Scooter Libby's being sentenced to 30 months in prison for his part in covering up the leak of the identity of Valerie Plame as a CIA operative. The funniest part (unintentionally, perhaps) of the CNN article is their discussion of...
