Cheney hasn't called Libby since trial

Sun Apr 15, 1:44 PM ET

WASHINGTON - In the nearly six weeks since his close friend and former chief of staff was convicted of lying and obstructing an investigation, Vice President
Dick Cheney has not once spoken to I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby.


Why?

"Well, there hasn't been occasion to do so," Cheney said in an interview broadcast Sunday on CBS' "Face the Nation."

Libby is the highest-ranking White House official convicted in a government scandal since the
Iran-Contra affair two decades ago. He was found guilty last month of perjury and obstruction in the investigation into the 2003 leak of
CIA operative
Valerie Plame's identity.

The episode undercut the Bush administration's credibility, one of a string of a bad-news stories that have hurt the president's standing.

1. sounds like a rough break up to me.

2. I heard Bob Schieffer ask him this - pretty amazing!

As I recall, he said he hadn't had "occasion to" give him a call.

Subtext tells me that they are potential adversaries and that both their attorneys have probably advised against contact.

Sing, Scooter, Sing!!

3. I guess he doesn't have any use for Libby any more?

[MadMaddie]

4. Well....other than Condi......"Who could have thought that he

wouldn't call his so called friend"? After all he shot one of his supposedly best buddies in the face and apparantly hasn't had much to do with him....just sayin..

5. look like Libby not such a good and decent man anymore

because if he was, Cheney would have continued to protest the witchhunt

[damntexdem]

6. And after Scooter gave him the best years of his life, too!

LOL!!!

7. June is coming closer and closer for "Scooter"....

...and the possible deals get thinner and thinner as the date draws nearer. We'll see how thick thieves are very soon.

8. Cheney apparently doesn't know how to pick up a phone himself...

...what a piece of work (or shit) Mr. ShootsGuyInFace is.

9. Sweet!

Squeal, Scooter, Squeal!

11. i wonder what will happen come June. squeel time? deal time? jail time?

[bleever]

10. "Oh...uh, hi Scooter, it's Dick. Say, I was wondering if I could get my CDs back?"

"Make sure not to leave out Best of Bread. Oh, and I'll need that quilt I got from my aunt....So...how's it goin'?...Doin' okay?...look, gotta run, but just messenger my stuff over, and, uh, you know...take it easy."

[Demeter]

12. He doesn't call, he doesn't write...

sounds like one of those Jewish mother jokes.

13. Don't worry about Scooter.. he knows the drill

there's a big ole pile of cash waiting for him.. and he'll appeal & stall until junior's term winds down, and then will get a full pardon.. he'll mosey off to collect the loot and live happily ever after.

14. Bullshit. n/t
