Dick Cheney's Reaction

From the WaPo:

-- Reaction from Vice President Dick Cheney on Friday to the resignation of his chief of staff, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, as released by the White House:

"Mr. Libby has informed me that he is resigning to fight the charges brought against him. I have accepted his decision with deep regret.

Scooter Libby is one of the most capable and talented individuals I have ever known. He has given many years of his life to public service and has served our nation tirelessly and with great distinction.

In our system of government an accused person is presumed innocent until a contrary finding is made by a jury after an opportunity to answer the charges and a full airing of the facts. Mr. Libby is entitled to that opportunity.

Note Dick's supreme apology to the American people and to sacrificing national security to lie us into war.

Still, if he's behind the wheel of a car tonight, I'd stay out of his way. Mr. Cheney has a history of DUI incidents.
