SCOOTER SUPPORT

HENRY Kissinger plunged into a "deep gloom" over the Lewis "Scooter" Libby scandal because it reminded him of "a miniature of Watergate," a new book reveals. In "Kissinger 1973, the Crucial Year," out next week from Simon & Schuster, Alistair Horne writes that as Libby was prosecuted for obstruction of justice and perjury in the Valerie Plame probe, Richard Nixon's secretary of state confided to him: "That poor man; I know what will happen. He'll be ruined. He won't get another job, he may go to prison, he'll be crushed by legal fees . . . I've never met him but I'm going to ring him, to offer him sympathy." Adds Horne: "And he did just that."

EARN TO LEARN

ARNOLD Schwarzenegger -- who came here from Austria with nothing and made himself into a movie star, a Kennedy in-law and governor of California -- might be proud of his son, Patrick. The boy threw a party in the family's guest house for his ninth-grade classmates and allegedly charged $5 at the door and $15 in the VIP section. "He says his parents don't give him allowance," joked our source. The Governator's spokesman said, "It's our protocol not to comment on the governor's children so I can't confirm or deny the story. I can tell you the governor teaches his children how to be entrepreneurial and encourages them to earn their own money so they understand its value."

THE PROBLEM WITH A DISCLAIMER is its coming off as defensive, especially when it's preemptive. Trouble is, it's damned if do/don't: NOT including it first results in the predictable problems.

DISCLAIMER re: linking to the NY Post (for to head-off highly predictable, OT/hijacking posts):: Yes, it is a RAG. Yes, it is owned by NewsCorp/Faux's MURDOCH. No, he doesn't Dictaphone content to his gossip columnists. No, "gossip" does NOT equate to "UNtruth" (OR with "triviality" for that matter). These old time gossipers are more journalistically reliable than Tweety and such ilk. Frequently, political tidbits are here first, later to show up in more "respectable" venues. Keep friends close, enemies closer. Cherrypicking intel results in self-fulfilling FALSENESS. I got hooked on these gossipers when they were on the
E!1 network and, when they were cancelled, tracked them down and they happened to be at THE RAG (NY Post). ALL I read at THE RAG are the gossip and the horoscope. On Edit: If this disclaimer is NOT ENOUGH, if you don't like this o.p., PLEASE just click OUT without leaving your any-further-a(doo-doo)!1
