Not surprising Libby is a Democrat.
Ol' Scooter Libby was awarded the Department of Defense Distinguished Service Award and the Department of the Navy Distinguished Public Service Award in 1993....... from the Clinton Administration.
Libby's spouse is Harriet Grant, a Democrat, who was General Counsel to the Judiciary Committee when it was chaired by Joe Biden (when Dems were in the majority). Mrs Libby was probably part of the Democrat attack machine that slimed Clarence Thomas during his nomination hearings. The Libby's dinnertime conversation must have been interesting.
It's not at all reassuring to authentic conservatives that Libby and spouse were hostile to the social conservative agenda, while Libby was holding power in a conservative admin.
Libby held three titles in the Bush admin: (1) Cheney's chief of staff, (2) national security adviser to the vice president, and (3) assistant to President George W. Bush -- a sign of Libby's broad influence.
