Nothing Shakin' on Shakedown Street?
By William Rivers Pitt

Don't tell me this town ain't got no heart. You just gotta poke around.

-- The Grateful Dead

Confession time: I missed the whole Libby-indictment thing almost completely. I wasn't writing a book or researching a story, nor was I interviewing people in the know about this or that. Nope. I was in Vegas, splitting my time between a poker table in Mandalay Bay and the Vegoose Music Festival out on the edge of the desert. The trip had been planned months before, and I spent all those days leading up to last Friday hoping Fitz would drop the hammer so I could bug out in good conscience.

3. I dunno.
Whatever you were doing during when the indictments came down. There were dozens of threads wondering where you were. I was busting on them.

I have horrible luck with gambling, and have self-banned myself from any casino anywhere.

Great article, by the way. Welcome back to the often stressful, but never dull drama that is DU. :hi:
