How he got into my pajamas I'll never know.

Crooks and Liars and The Anonymous Liberal both have good posts linking to a story in The Washington Post, a paper that really does seem to be feeling its oats these days. If I were cynical, I'd say that having already brought down the goverment once, they see another in their sights.

Fortunately, I'm not cynical. C&L observes that
The new WaPo article shows that there will be no wiggling out of this indictment for Scooter when his trial begins. You can count on a trial unless a jail cell becomes too big a cross to carry for him and he flips on his "ex-hip-mate," Dr. Evil.
AL's post, and the WP story, is about the fact that
It's been more than two weeks since the Vice President's chief of staff and closest adviser, Scooter Libby, was indicted on five felony counts for lying to the FBI and to a federal grand jury in connection with the Valerie Plame leak investigation. The circumstances surrounding these lies, as laid out in the indictment, suggest only one obvious motive for Libby's otherwise inexplicable behavior: to protect the Vice President. And no one has even bothered to suggest (even through anonymous sources) a plausible alternative explanation. In short, Libby's behavior reeks of cover up, and Dick Cheney is the only obvious beneficiary.
