Cheney hasn’t called Libby since trial
AP
Excerpt:
WASHINGTON – In the nearly six weeks since his close friend and former chief of staff was convicted of lying and obstructing an investigation, Vice President Dick Cheney has not once spoken to I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby.
Why?
“Well, there hasn’t been occasion to do so,” Cheney said in an interview broadcast Sunday on CBS’ “Face the Nation.”
President Bush and Cheney have expressed sadness for Libby and his family, but largely refrained from comment because the matter is an active legal case. Libby plans to appeal.
In the interview, Cheney said he believes deeply in Libby.
“He’s one of the most dedicated public servants I’ve ever worked with, and I think this is a great tragedy,” Cheney said.
Yet Cheney has not spoken with Libby to tell him so directly.
Cheney’s interviewer, Bob Schieffer, was so surprised to hear that news that he asked the vice president about it again.
Why not calls to express your regrets?
“I just — I haven’t had occasion to do that,” was all that Cheney would say.
Libby faces a likely sentencing range of one to three years in prison when he is sentenced June 5.

Ok HL why should Cheney call Libby? So the media can make something of nothing just like they are doing now. He calls him and they want to know why, he doesn’t call him and they want to know why. What is it of their business wether he does or doesn’t. You want to make something out of nothing. You have to have a reason why he hasn’t called him and the answer he is giving isn’t good enough so you think there is something there. How sad. HL you need to get your own life.

what i have found is that HL only posts part of the story. and if somthing is said that libs don’t want hear than it is automaticly a lie since none of us was there, we can’t be sure somthing was not twisted to make the repubs look bad it has happened before and will keep right on happening
