Giving Candy to a Baby

Before sentencing Scooter Libby to 30 months in prison today, Judge Walton released the letters that were submitted to the Court by people vouching both for and against Libby's character. There were the usual suspects: John Bolton, Don Rumsfeld, and Paul Wolfowitz. (No Cheney however). You can read the whole collection here.

Mary Matalin submitted a letter that was co-signed by her husband James Carville, but was clearly written by her in which she makes a curious argument as to why the Judge should be lenient on poor ol' Scooter, arguing that because, when Matalin, Libby and her kids were trapped at one of Cheney's "undisclosed locations" on a Halloween, Libby took time away from his work to help the children celebrate Halloween and now her children love him. And, according, to Matalin, since children are the truest judge of character, this shows what kind of person Libby is.

Because he gave some Tootsie Rolls to her kids.

Now, mind you, I think Matalin viewed perjury and obstruction of justice a little bit differently in 1998 and 1999.
