The Libby verdict has been known for less than twelve hours, and the volume of material written and distributed about it boggles the mind slightly. Arthur has a slightly giddy post written while listening to Limbaugh spin the results of the trial's outcome for the conservative nation, John has coverage of it here and here, and Fire Dog Lake has extensive coverage of the entire day, from the reading of the verdict to the courthouse steps press conference of the prosecution. John has the video of the Fitzgerald press conference here. Commentary on the verdict can also be found here and here.
Coupled with the escalating Army Hospital Scandal (I've stopped calling it the Walter Reed Scandal since it's a situation that is rife throughout the entire system) and the emerging machiavellian maneuvering behind the dismissal of multiple Federal Prosecutors, things are looking progressively more bleak for the Bush administration. One thing that concerns me greatly is the propensity of these neo-conservatives to lash out in a blindly defensive manner when backed into a corner--in this case, possibly by starting a new war to deflect attention away from all of the current political firestorm.
