"And I’ve got to say, even if Libby's convicted — and he may

not be — but even if he is convicted, would any judge send to

prison a guy named Scooter? He wouldn’t last 48 hours. I

know, because I'm a former Harvard University Institute of

Politics fellow named Roger and I wouldn't last 24."

"I mean, there’s no underlying crime here that anyone has

been indicted for. This is just a show trial, just like in the

days of Stalin. By the way, did you know that the Russian

dictator's real name was Joseph Vissarionovich Djugashvili,

and that my real name is Roger Sumbitch Crockashit?"

"Once again, we have a prosecutor who can’t get an indictment

for the real crime — leaking the identity of a CIA agent. So he

goes instead for the crime of, well, people didn’t tell him the

complete truth when they talked to him." Thus is suggested

a new definition of a 'lie': it's an 'incomplete truth'.

Commenting on the Libby trial, Roger Simon says,

"I also have to say this is a nutty trial that

nobody except the people involved in it and the

people covering it care about. And, no, I'm not

the Simon who met a pieman going to the fair."
