Having seen over six trillion pictures of him in the last couple of days, I really must know: why is “Scooter” Libby walking with crutches?
According to this article from CBS News and numerous other wire stories, Libby recently broke a bone in his foot. Can’t find an online link, but I heard on the radio that he broke the foot when he stumbled on some stairs.
Oh its just the first step of getting him to plea bargain.http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/newreply.php?do=newreply&p=6739862#
because he shot himself in the foot? 
Because he hasn’t got a leg to –
never mind.
When he suggested a bad memory defense to his attorney, the lawyer started laughing so hard, he lost his balance and landed on Scooter’s foot.
Because he fell on his sword?
[sub]OK - I got nuthin’[/sub]
Maybe that’s how he got the name “Scooter”.
I don’t know about you, but when I think “Scooter,” I think of some freckle-faced, happy-go-lucky kid who lives down the street from Wally and the Beav.
I don’t think of some evil, cold-hearted conservative bureaucrat who sells out an undercover CIA agent in order to get back at her husband.
But I’m learning…
The injury was the result of a closed door session with Rove and Cheney. Evidently, they have hired Jeff Gillooly as part of his defense team.
