The shorter Judy

"It's Scooter Libby."

Yeah, she buried the lede all the way at the bottom, didn't she? And then she goes on extended leave. How conve-e-e-e-e-n-ient.

NOTE For more on the WHIG, The Times, and Miller, Sulzberger, and Keller, see Outing Valerie Plame is the tape on the Watergate doors, and The Grey Lady that did not bark in the night.
