The Supreme Court announced Monday it will not give further consideration to a lawsuit brought by a fired CIA agent and her husband against high ranking Bush administration officials, including former Vice President Dick Cheney.

The decision is a victory for Cheney and his former chief of staff, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, former White House Chief of Staff Karl Rove, and former Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage. They and nine unnamed co-defendants were sued by Valerie Plame Wilson and her husband Joseph after her CIA cover was leaked to reporters.

Oh, yeah - Vanity Fair! A real hardcore journalistic Pulitzer winner. That rag is nothing but a one man rant to keep him on the NYC cocktail circuit - he’s nuts! Makes McCarthy look like a chump. “Oh God, there’s a Bushie under my bed!”

"Read the referenced article"

I did. Not sure what your point is.

LOL! I bet heads are exploding at the DUmp. Going to check.

“While heading for a vacation getaway, Wilson couldn’t resist giving one last interview at the Houston airport. One of his sons blurted out for everyone to hear, “My daddy is famous, my mommy is a secret spy.” Clearly the pressures of the Wilson family code of silence had gotten to the lad. “

Why is Valerie Plame dragging it?

[Tzimisce]

Of course Libby is still in jail, but this is a start...

They and nine unnamed co-defendants were sued by Valerie Plame Wilson and her husband Joseph after her CIA cover was leaked to reporters.

Was David Corn one of the "nine unnamed co-defendants"? He was the only columnist at the time who had any knowledge that Plame was "undercover". Perhaps they should go after his source.

It will interesting to see if they release the movie about the case, being that it was trumped up then dismissed and all.

[nikos1121]

Sounded frivolous to begin with. Wonder what it cost us to defend it?

[anniegetyourgun]

Thanks - I don’t usually put things in Breaking News because I always figure you won’t agree with me on that call!

[tioga]

Libby is NOT in jail. His sentence was commuted by Bush and he is out. Still a convicted felon though.

Somewhere a wise Latina with a broken leg feels Valerie’s pain.

The denizens of DU are just as miserable, vile and profane as ever. One would think they'd be on top of the world at this point, but no, they're practically suicidal. Heh. :)

[MAD-AS-HELL]

The sad thing is that they are making the PLAME movie with Sean “noodle brained” Penne which will, of course, not be truthful and won’t even bring up the fact they were outright liars.

Ok, am I the only one who first thought the title said:

Supreme Court Ends Blame Case Against Cheney, Libby, Bush Officials?

[Phil Southern]

Ah, thanks for the explanation. I’ve had to explain schadenfreude to lots of folks, but leave it to the DUmmies to not even be able to use the internet correctly.
