Agitprop: Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Propaganda

Libby Indicted

[via Raw Story] - David Addington Set to Replace Scooter.

One ...

Rove told he won't be indicted today. Best to keep an eye on Fitzgerald's website.

JUST ANNOUNCED [12:55 p.m. EST]: 5 counts again Scooter: perjury (2), obstruction of justice(1), and making false statements(2). Indictment here.

Wonkette: Scooter Submits Resignation.

And Ayn Coulter has admitted that there might just be a problem here!

Grumpy Old Man adds the following about Libby's replacement: David Addington, expected to replace Libby, was a principal author of the White House memo justifying the torture of terrorism suspects. He also strongly endorsed holding suspects without access to the legal system, a measure rebuked by the Supreme Court.

Judy Can't "Recall" Who Told Her Plame's Name

Also Fails to Explain 18 Page Gap in Newly-Discovered Notebook

We at Agitprop are pleased to inaugurate our Rove & Scooter Death Watch (patent pending). Will Rove go first? Scooter? Could DeLay be first? Could dark-horse Bill Frist (God's Diagnostician) come from behind? The mind boggles.

These Watches are needed, of course, due to the grand jury testimony of Judith Miller. Miller can't "recall" who gave her Plame's name (inscribed carefully in her notebook as "Valerie Flame"). In her own NYT piece published today, Miller nearly bent double protecting poor Scooter.

Not to be obvious, but might Judy be a Bush tool? Perhaps even on the payroll à la Armstrong Williams? Once again, the mind boggles.

Grumpy Old Man delicately suggests that Rove and Scooter might turn on Judy.
