Froomkin explains Libby's crutch in yesterday's photo
At the end of today's column, just in passing... "Here's an AP photo of Libby in the Oval Office yesterday, holding a crutch. Libby recently broke a bone in his foot, ostensibly while running up stairs. "
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/blog/2005/10/25/BL2005102500853_pf.html Vice President Richard Cheney's Chief of Staff I. Lewis 'Scooter' Libby watches during a photo opportunity in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, DC, October 24, 2005.

5. He looks like hell....
as if he hasn't seen the sun in years, just like Rove. What is it with these bloodless-looking creeps?

6. Nah... He Tried Kicking the Wall
That's what he thought, until he raised his head to only see Fitz looking down on him.

10. It's not photoshopped
Unless the AP did it. Dan's link's busted, but I got it from Yahoo, searched "news photos" for "Scooter Libby"

12. I must have seen a head shot
but I do remember the bronze sculpture in the background. I know I saw it on yahoo as well. Perhaps someone snipped photos of him without the crutches for a few shots? :shrug:

14. That crutch? It's an old defense strategy
The "Tiny Tim" defense. A classic.
