Holy Moly  —  Norah O'Donnell is asking Andy Card and Leon Panetta if the president is going to have to ask Dick Cheney to resign as a result of what's being alleged at the Libby Trial.  (They both punted.)  —  If that's the beltway chatter, look for the Republican noise machine to go into high gear.

Libby Liveblog: Fitzgerald's Opening Statement  —  Here goes Fitzgerald... It will be utterly fascinating to see how Fitzgerald operates.  I'm most interested, though, in how Fitzgerald will describe the obstruction charge and Libby's motive.  What will Fitzgerald say Libby was obstructing, and why?

Jay Carney / Swampland:
Re: The Clinton Playbook  —  Amazingly, some Swampland readers seem to think my earlier post about President Bush's State of the Union address was too sympathetic to Bush, which proves nothing but that the left is as full of unthinking Ditto-heads as Limbaugh-land.
