Scooter Libby awaits his fate for lying.  It’s bad enough that his real name is I. Lewis.  It’s bad enough that lying is now considered an actionable crime for appointed (note, not elected) government officials.  It’s bad enough that he was Chief of Staff to Vice President Dick Cheney.  Sitting there, awaiting sentence, Scooter Libby had much to ponder about his streak of bad luck.

But then, the news spreads like wild fire around the courtroom.  The hum is deafening.  The judge has received a letter on Scooter’s behalf.  It calls Scooter a patriot, with the ring of G. Gordon Liddy (anything about the respective names strike you as odd?) echoing in his ears. 

U.S. District Judge Reggie B. Walton received a letter from Paul Wolfowitz.  AAAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHH

Question:  How many Henry Kissinger letters does it take to undo one Paul Wolfowitz letter?
Answer:      If the defense attorney managed the letter writing properly, there wouldn’t be a Paul Wolfowitz letter to undo.
