SCOOTER LIBBY: THE MAN WHO TALKED TOO MUCH

LIBBY VIOLATES RAYBURN RULE as explained by the Profit Prophet Cheney [story]

He [Libby] adheres to a favorite Cheney maxim that the vice president credits to the late Sam Rayburn, a longtime House speaker: "You never get in trouble for something you don't say."

LIBBY MAY GET IN TROUBLE for something somebody said about something he didn’t say. Or something he did say. But he forgot.  Or something somebody forgot he said. And then remembered.  What all that means right now The Heretik cannot say.  But a lot of other people can.

SPECULATION RUNS WILD  No one ever says speculation walks in an orderly fashion with its head down toward the exits.  And nobody anymore says the White House is totally on message. Message to White House: head for exits.  Keep your head down. 

"He's always been excruciatingly careful, which is ironic in his situation," says World Bank chief Paul Wolfowitz, a former deputy secretary of defense and a longtime mentor of Libby's.

IRONY DEFINED Libby’s mentor ‘Cakewalk’ Wolfowitz phrases his commentary in what is known as the historical present:  he has always been.  Speculation. Wild. Libby in Present. History.  Head for exits. Stay calm.  Keep your head down.

LIBBY IS THE AUTHOR of a book rewritten and published in 1996. And the reviews?

The author's "storytelling skill neatly mixes conspiratorial murmurs with a boy's emotional turmoil," the New York Times Book Review said of the novel.

LIBBY IS EVEN MORE PROPHETIC than the Profit Prophet Cheney.  Conspiratorial murmurs . . . emotional turmoil.  Libby’s book is titled The Apprentice.  The sorcerer’s or The Donald’s who can say?  Speculation. Wild.  Exits.
