WASHINGTON | Vice President Dick Cheney called his former chief of staff, who goes on trial this week in the CIA leak case, “one of the more honest men I know.” He said Sunday on “Fox News Sunday” that he expects to testify for the defense.

I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby faces charges of perjury and obstruction of an investigation into the leak of a CIA officer’s identity to reporters.

Jury selection is to begin Tuesday in Washington in a trial that should give the public glimpses of how Bush administration insiders responded to one high-level critic — former ambassador Joseph Wilson — who claimed that the president and his closest advisers distorted intelligence and lied to push the nation into war with Iraq.

Cheney described Libby as “one of the finest individuals I’ve ever known.” Asked in a broadcast interview if Libby is honest, the vice president replied: “I believe he’s one of the more honest men I know.”

1. Somehow I don't think any testimonial on honesty coming from

Cheney is worth much.

[evlbstrd]

2. “I believe he’s one of the more honest men I know.”

That's got to be a very short list to begin with.
On a scale of 1 to 10, where does "more honest" fall?

[ChairmanAgnostic]

3. it tells much about his circle of friends, no?

sheesh. Sometimes, even these guys tell the truth.

[evlbstrd]

8. Yes, it does.

Truth is accidental with these people.

13. LOL David just called me to read the article to me over the phone

His response: Well let's list the people Cheney knows - dubya, Rummy, kindasleezy, Rove, Kissinger. When you look at that group of assclowns, Libby probably is the most honest. LOLOLOL

4. Further proof Cheney only knows Republicans. nt

7. EFF CHENEY!!!

That evil coc**ucker couldn't spell honest if you spotted him all six letters.

10. Imagine a Project Manager whose 10 year project assumes Killing and Dying and

Maiming, and Refugees, Starving Children.

Shock and Awe = Amerikan home mortgages paid with Blood Money FOREVER.

That's what Cheney has been PNAC-ian Projects Director for - a plan to steal Iraqi Oil to save U.S. oil from going bankrupt - and create new Military Contracting Middle-Class jobs = votes program, and to ride herd on the economic growth of China, and protect Israel's fresh water, and to help the Saudi Arabs with their Wahabists, Fundamental Islamists who disapprove of Royal Muslim Corruption are focused on Iraqian Sunnis for the forseeable future. Thank you very much!

14. Hey you!

What are you doing Sat night? Come to Toto's on Johnson Drive. 6:30

[patrice]

15. Definitely.

[proud2BlibKansan]

16. delete

[patrice]

18. Pardon me.

I mis-understood what you are.

[proud2BlibKansan]

20. Here's how this works

Please forgive me for posting this but you don't receive PMs.

Here is who I am - I am the person you screamed at in front of a whole lot of people in public 6 months ago. You called me names and tried to humiliate me when all you accomplished was embarrassing yourself.

So here is how this works. You apologize - in public - and I will no longer pretend you don't exist.

I spend my working hours with mentally ill children. And since my mom died, I have my hands full with a mentally ill family member who is not handling her grief well. So I choose not to deal with people like you in my free time. I quite frankly have no more room on my plate. I will be polite and courteous IF you apologize. If not, you don't exist in my world.

Now I am going to put you on one of those new lists they have here. You know where to find me if you decide to apologize.

9. Libby is one of the more honest members of a group that is Stealing

and entire Country, Iraq, and stealing the U.S. BLIND while they're at it!

OIL-Socialism is War Slavery for Americans.

11. Code for "Cover my ass Scoots". nt.

[Virginia Dare]

12. He's the cream of the crop of criminals, hooligans..

cowards and thugs that Dick Cheney knows and associates with, nice. By the way, Dick Cheney is just about the last person I would want vouching for me right before a criminal trial.

[NewJeffCT]

17. Cheney also said Rumsfeld was the best ever Secretary of Defense

Yes, even better than those that guided us through WW2, the War of 1812, the civil war, the Cold War, etc, etc.

[jmowreader]

19. Doesn't everyone say that?

Yes, I concur with the other posters who have stated that compared to some of the scumbags Cheney knows, Scooter Libby looks pretty damn good.

I certainly didn't expect a "movie moment" like when Leo Bloom called Max Bialystock the most selfish person he ever met, or when Hannover Fiste said Captain Sternn was a moral man who never did anything wrong except for running a preschoolers' prostitute ring and selling dope disguised as a nun.
