Scooter Libby issues statement through new attorney, Tom Hagen

[Jersey Devil]

"In the hopes of clearing my family name in the sincere desire to give my children their fair share of the American way of life, without a blemish on their name and background, I have appeared before this grand jury, and given it all the cooperation in my power. I consider it a great dishonor to me personally to have to deny that I am a criminal. I wish to have the following noted for the record: That I served my country faithfully and honorably in World War II, and was awarded the Navy Cross for actions in defense of my country; that I have never been arrested or indicted for any crime whatsoever; that no proof linking me to any criminal conspiracy, whether it is called Mafia or Cosa Nostra or whatever other name you wish to give, has ever been made public. I have not taken refuge behind the Fifth Amendment, although it is my right to do so. I challenge this grand jury to produce any witness or evidence against me and if they do not I hope they will have the decency to clear my name with the same publicity with which they now have besmirched it."

1. Gahdfaddah II?

[Jersey Devil]

15. lol

Jeez, now I feel guilty because people are taking it seriously. Oh well, I am the "devil" after all.

[trof]

20. Wait until they find out "gullible" isn't in the dictionary.

Have to say I'm a bit amazed at how many "bit" too.
Oh, well.
;-)

[Botany]

2. LOL

So Cheney is the Godfather
Rove is Michael

[mark11727]

14. "I know it was you, Fredo... you broke my heart..."

"YOU BROKE MY HEART!" (smootch o' death)

[Botany]

28. For Fitz!

Tom Hagan, "It might work it just might work."

On Mike C. taking out the police captain & Virgil Sollozzo

[DoYouEverWonder]

3. Whatever you say Libby

That is what is great about this country. You will have your day in court and your lies will be known.

[timber84]

4. I can't believe this is his statment give me a f---ing break!

Besmirched his name?

[rodeodance]

9. well, Libby you will go before another jury--not this gj. !!

..I challenge this grand jury to produce any witness or evidence against me and if they do not I hope they will have the decency to clear my name with the same publicity with which they now have besmirched it."

[montanacowboy]

5. Haaaa

I knew that sounded familiar

[ananda]

6. So, your links to the Bushrove mob..

.. have not been made public???!!! Most people don't even know the kinds of criminals Bushrove are... but they're learning fast.

Sheesh.

Sue

[Debi]

Don't his own words indict him? Big Fat Liar!!! n/t

[dogday]

7. Scoot on down Scoot on down the road

keep on Scooter and just maybe someone out there will believe you. In this country if you are indicted, man you are guilty. I don't personally follow that type of thinking, but the public just doesn't forgive that easily...


No matter what you do now, you sir are a liar...

[1620rock]

8. World War II ???

...he is only 55 years old! WWII ended five years before he was born! err, is this some sort of typo?

[meganmonkey]

16. Ever seen the Godfather?

[trof]

17. um...it's a joke.

Michael Corleone's testimony before the senate committee in Godfather II (I think it was).

[rodeodance]

26. so this is jokee

[Individualist]

10. Scooter's "I am not a crook" statement

:rofl:

[Kikosexy2]

11. Lie down..

with dogs and wake up with fleas....(sigh)....

[dave29]

12. If not, I will find you and besmirch your good name

just like I did Valerie Wilson

[Pepper32]

13. PS:

Bush get me out of this!

[IChing]

18. whether it is called Mafia or Cosa Nostra or whatever other name you wish

to give'

whether it is called the neocon cabal,....my words

I thought this was a strange reference to an illegal crime family, in his statement.

[rodeodance]

19. bettter start squelling and bring your boss down with you!!--maybe you

will lessen the anger.

[tsuki]

21. You know with the Patriot Act, why couldn't he be picked up

and held without any counsel for as long as the government wants. It is an act of terrorism, at IMHO. Aiding the terrorists, at the very least.

[Rose Siding]

22. Sounds like a big, fat, delicious trial is a-brewin'

:applause:

[lovuian]

23. This man is having delusions and get ready for the fall honey!!!

:bounce:

[rodeodance]

25. is there a link to this somewhere?

[Jersey Devil]

27. Sure, here's the link

Please don't hit me afterwards.

Libby statement

[trof]

43. It's getting embarrassing.

:blush:

[dave29]

24. my family turns in clusters like the apsens of cosa nostra

huh?

[frogmarch]

29. Whaaaa?

"...no proof linking me to any criminal conspiracy, whether it is called Mafia or Cosa Nostra or whatever other name you wish to give, has ever been made public."

(Even though such proof exists, it has not been made public? This man is said to be smart?)

[KansDem]

30. Hey, Scoot...! Haven't you heard?!

I served my country faithfully and honorably in World War II, and was awarded the Navy Cross for actions in defense of my country

The GOP, and especially BushCo, couldn't care less about faithful military duty and military awards!

F*ck You, Scoot! Your party set that standard!

[More Than A Feeling]

31. Nice!

:rofl:

[cassiepriam]

32. What's up with the denial of Mafia connections?

[ticapnews]

33. Hook. Line. Sinker.

I can't believe people think this is legit. I thought everyone had seen The Godfather movies... :P

Tom Hagen:

AKA: Robert Duvall

speaking on behalf of his client
Michael Corleone:

AKA: Al Pacino

Seen here at the Congressional Hearings in Washington DC, conferring with his client, and the brother of a key witness:

[cassiepriam]

34. My husband watches the darn GF movies every week. But I don't listen

to it. Guess you can tell that.

[Jersey Devil]

35. Not legit?

Jeez, I'm glad no one is close enough to club me!

[cassiepriam]

36. Your name is apt Mr. Devil. Don't you know I am on my last nerve

as it is?? And I must warn you I am dressing up as an angel
for Halloween. So, please no more demonic tricks.

[Jersey Devil]

37. I am repentent

Not!

Jeez, I even gave a link. I guess people are wrapped too tight for fooling around right now. What can I say? It was not the devil in me but the lawyer that made me do it.

[ticapnews]

38. I think it was great

Should have changed a few key words to fit Libby, though... ;)

[Jersey Devil]

40. Naw!

Gee, I could have changed WWII to Viet Nam and Cosa Nostra to BFEE, but then I'd have a bunch more people to want to punch me out when they found out it was bogus. :spank:

[cassiepriam]

39. Aren't they the same thing?

(I said on was on my last nerve. Usually not a pretty sight.)

[Jersey Devil]

41. LOL, you get last laugh

I deserved that one. :silly:

[cassiepriam]

42. Yep you did. And more. Just put away the pitchfork till nerves not so raw.
