Vice President Dick Cheney’s chief of staff, I. Lewis ‘Scooter’ Libby, walks into the White House, Wednesday, Oct. 26, 2005, using crutches. Lawyers representing key White House officials expect Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald to decide this week whether to charge Libby and top presidential political adviser Karl Rove in the leak of a CIA officer’s identity.

Ah, crutches, the last refuge of the scoundrel.
It would be funny if the entire White House started walking around on crutches to elicit sympathy and to try to change the subject. That would be very, well, Pythonesque, I suppose you might say.

Geez, did Cheney break Scooter’s knees? The Wyoming Mafia?

The Repubs are out for kneecaps, I see.

Mariano is a Democrat, actually. But, yeah.
I keep picturing Karl Rove holding up his hands in fear and saying, “you wouldn’t indict a man with glasses, would you?”
