Merry Fitzmas!

I return to Washington from a week out west to find Harriet Miers' Supreme Court nomination withdrawn and White House fall guy--I mean, VP chief of staff--Scooter Libby indicted. There are a couple of lessons in the past week's events:

1) I should leave Washington more often.

2) While it doesn't really hold up before a grand jury, you could always try blaming Tim Russert as the source of sensitive information that you've leaked. I.e.,

"Did you blab to Jane about me dating her ex?"
"No way, dude, it must've been Russert. That's where I heard it from in the first place."
