Yes, Cheney would be a big deal. Libby is a senior staffer. They get indicted in every administration. Easier for Bush to do damage control. If it's two or three seniors, that's bad news.
I don't recall a senior staffer being indicted during either Ford or Carter's Administration. Nor Bush 43's until possibly now.
Don't the normal rules of discovey apply in this case? Am I the only one here looking forward to Scooter's lawyer getting Wilson and his wife, and Miller and Russert on the stand?
I also think it would be wise for the President to tell the MSM that all the irresponsible reporting on this story has forced him to give Scooter the benefit of any doubt, and if they don't like it in the press room or the blogosphere, they can kiss his butt.
I think he would get a spike in approval ratings that would push the mid 50's. Please Mr. President, stand up to these guys and fight them for the first time in your administration.
