A report in the New York Times today presents the murky underbelly of what initially appeared to be a titilating and gratifying indictment of footballer #41's Chief of Staff, "Scooter" Libby, on perjury charges:"This is exactly the thing," said Jane Kirtley, a professor of media ethics and law at the University of Minnesota, "that journalists fear most - that they will become an investigative arm of the government and be forced to testify against the sources they've cultivated." While the special prosecutor, Patrick J. Fitzgerald, is all but certain to call at least some of the reporters as witnesses, whether they will be judged credible is an open question."
First Lady Laura Bush gives out job advice to young people:"We know that people who do avoid drugs and alcohol are more likely to be able to get a job...We want young people to avoid gangs. And we know that if they're not tattooed with gang tattoos, they're more likely to be employable."
Does this mean that she could not hire her own husband? He certainly meets the standards for tattoos and gang connections but misses the mark in the (white powdery) drug and alcohol department.
