Scooter Libby Met With Tom Cruise on Scientology

Scooter Libby’s CIA briefer, Craig Schmall, reports that he and Libby had a discussion on Saturday* June 14, 2003 about a visit from Tom Cruise and Penelope Cruz, with the former interested in talking about Germany’s treatment of Scientologists. Libby was apparently quite excited about the visit.

*Counsel for both sides stipulated that June 14 was indeed a Saturday. I have verified that fact independently as well.

Holy God. This is the guy you are so concerned about defending? Someone who gets all a twitter about Tom Cruise? Gets all excited about hearing Tom 'I will jump on a couch for luuuvvveee" Cruise's concerns about Scientology?".

You been had, buddy. Reagan rode horses - Shrub's afraid of 'em. Do the math.

what are you talking about bain & paul? He can't get excited about meeting a couple of international film stars? That somehow precludes him from doing great things?

Maybe YOU cant walk and chew gun at the same time-you know, a liberal-but conservatives are quite capable of managing multiple tasks and at the same time can look around and enjoy life.

I would LOVE if this administration could walk and chew gum at the same time. Unfortunately Katrina and Iraq proved that false.
