Friday Night Funnies: Rove & Bartlett Get Subpoenas
The Scooter Libby trial might get interestingnext week. Michael Isikoff just posted a short-yet-confusing thing on MSNBC.com that attempts to explain this latest twist. Our interpretation:
* If Karl Rove testifies, it may prove the White House is a den of vipers and not the team of patriotic Bushbots we so desperately need to concentrate on wrecking America and the whole world.
* If Dan Bartlett testifies, it may make people realize he has a powerful role in the Bush Administration.
* Tim Russert is still plotting against us.
* Ari Fleischer has been claiming he's so not involved that he doesn't even have a lawyer, but in truth Fitzgerald has given him immunity after he pulled a Fifth on Fitz.
* Scott McClellan never said one truthful thing in his entire White House career, not even in response to seemingly innocent questions as "Is today Tuesday?" and "How was your weekend?"
