This morning on Imus in the Morning Mary Matalin called to say that she intends on taking money away from a charity assisting children with cancer to give to Scooter Libby's legal defense fund.
Then she said committing perjury is ok because she wasn't Valerie Plame wasn't covert (which isn't true, and also that no criminal trial should go forward if one of the witnesses has a broken ankle.
This is not an exact transcript:
At this point in the conversation she accused Imus of not caring about the suffering of poor Scooter Libby, and Imus protested sarcastically that he did care, and would even give to his legal defense fund.
Then Matalin said:
"I'm putting you down for $500 to the Scooter Libby Defense Fund. If you don't send it, I'm taking it out of my donation to the ranch."
Imus:
"Oh sure, take money away from kids with cancer for this lying scumbag" (or words to that effect).
Imus:
"The ranch changes the lives of kids with cancer...."
Matalin, (in a whiny voice):
"You don't think Scooter Libby's life has been changed by this trial?.."

So, just to be clear, no matter what crime a person commits, if their life is changed by a criminal trial, then they are by definition victims. Truthfully I have never heard such twisted logic.

Ms. Matalin might want to rethink her appearances on Imus. Clearly, she's not a morning person.
And weep not for Scooter Libby. He'll do just fine. These guys always do. Just look at the stand-up young men from the Iran-Contra scandal. Two decades later and they all seem to have found well-paying jobs in the government, in rightwing think-tanks, and in the media.
