All he needs is a little red wagon

Ok, the whole Scooter Libby thing.

First of all, the name Scooter is just funny. When you ditch the diapers, you really should ditch the name Scooter. That's the first reason I've paid any attention to this story. If he had stuck with Lewis, I probably wouldn't have even cared.

Second of all, he was convicted of perjury, obstruction of justice and lying to federal agents investigating the 2003 exposure of former CIA operative Valerie Plame Wilson (according to CNN.com) and yet Paris Hilton did more time. Freakin' fabulous!

Third of all (which doesn't roll off the keyboard nearly as nicely as first of all or second of all), Scooter went and bought a money order to cover his $250,000 fine. I don't know about you, but my first thought trying to imagine him going to the Kwik-E-Mart for a money order. I mean, when I think of money orders, I think of convenience stores and those check cashing places. Obviously, as The Smoking Gun shows us, Scooter popped over to B of A. But still, I prefer the image in my head of the clerk standing on the other side of the bullet-proof glass and saying: "You need a money order for how much?"
