MysticCat, you are correct about Russert; he did deny what Libby claimed. The quote from the juror I read yesterday basically said that it was implausible that Libby would have forgotten the information. (I misremembered Russert's testimony as more ambiguous than it was, but I read up on it last night.)

I'm not that worried about firing US attorneys. I think we can ride out the next couple of years (a year and three quarters, but who's counting?) without too much trouble. Of course I don't know; I hope I'm right.

I don't think Bush has been a particularly good president, but let's remember what our choices were.

Wilson never should have been the one to go on the trip, period. Did people imagine that no one would ask why Wilson was chosen? What would have been an appropriate and honest response to that other than outing his wife?

And to follow up on a previous discussion about the media, does this conviction seem anything like the scale of Iran-Contra, and yet that's in the first paragraph of almost every story? Sure it's the first conviction of an administration official since, but I think their overplaying it.
