I was reading about that T-shirt gag...and surprising to ME..I felt creeped out by it for some reason.


Did you see the part in this story that said that the Judge said that the defense could tell the jury that Libby "had a lot on his plate"...but nothing more than Valerie Plame and Joe Wilson???

That doesn't even make sense or sound close to being "fair". My goodness...I am just a stay at home grandmother...but I know better than that. He is the Chief of Staff of the VPOTUS at a time of WAR...and the jury isn't supposed to know that he had a LOT to worry about besides some deadbeat diplomat and his society loving wife??

The ruling makes sense. There was no evidence submitted at trial that other things were more important to Libby than the Plame thing.

That's the problem with not testifying -- nobody else can introduce YOUR state of mind, and if you don't, you can't argue it in summation.
