Another Irrelevant Columnist

Of all the unhinged theories on the Cheney incident, this one takes the cake.

Barry Saunders thinks Cheney was sending an intentional message to Scooter Libby.

Just as surely as a fish wrapped in a bulletproof vest means "Luca Brasi sleeps with the fishes," that shotgun blast to Whittington's face was meant to convey that I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby had better bite his tongue and forget about testifying against Cheney, his former boss, in the Valerie Plame spy case.

***

Libby, Cheney's former chief of staff, recently told a grand jury that leaking Plame's identity as a spy was authorized by his superiors who were angered by Plame's husband's public criticism of the war in Iraq.

That revelation had many questioning how low this administration would go to quash dissent.

Now we know.

Yes. Now we know. Now we know that Barry Saunders is a complete idiot.

I'm going back to the Olympics. Somebody come get me when the left matters again.
