The bombshell dropped in the latest day of testimony during the trial of Scooter Libby has judge Nelson J Parner on the verge of declaring the whole embarrassment a mistrial. Monday, Libby testified that the Vice-President's move to Wyoming was less about political influence peddling and tax purposes than about the "unnatural practices" that Cheney is famous for in a closed circle of friends. When the issue began to be probed deeper by state prosecutor Ely Falgento, Libby related that it was well known by neighbors in Wyoming that " Cheney would screw just about anything he could fit into, but he has a particular fondness for a yellow lab named Daisy. He takes that poor dog everywhere. And apparently Dick thinks I'm next in line." The courtroom fell dead silent and the judge declared an immediate recess one hour before lunch. A closed door session with the all attorney's involved followed.
Upon the return to session, Libby was warned to make his language suitable for a courtroom of law and his previous remarks were stricken from the transcripts. Neighbor of Cheney John C. Thompson told CNN report Barkushga Nipal by telephone "In Wyoming, what a man does with his animals is no bodies business but his own, oh and his wife of course." Is this the reason for Cheney's new interest in miniature stallions? If Monday was any example of coming testimony, it is sure to become unnaturally clear in the end.
