Ain't Too Proud to Beg

Say what you will about Scooter Libby, but the man has some serious balls.

Evidence of said balls can be seen here. I cannot believe the man (and the frighteningly prominent men and women behind the man) has the gall to be asking for the public's money and support (as if there isn't already enough money gathering dust in the upper echelons of the Republican Party... and, to be fair, the Democratic Party as well).

Read more about it here.

But you know what the most upsetting thing is? Now I'm kicking myself because I didn't have the presence of mind on that tragic day 2 years ago to create my own "Killy's friends say she's cool, so she shouldn't get in trouble" fund-gathering Web site when I had to hire a lawyer and appear in court to contest that bogus reckless driving ticket. However, there are 3 major differences between my case and Scooter's: (1) I was charged with a misdemeanor traffic violation; he is charged with ever so slightly more serious infractions; (2) My friends don't have any money; and (3) I actually didn't do anything wrong.

The judge let me off with a warning, so I managed to squeak through the small, college-town legal system relatively unscathed, albeit a few hundred bucks poorer, thanks to my sleazy, weasely lawyer (who bore an uncanny resemblance to my cousin Frank the Felon). I wonder what Scooter's fate will be.
