Scooter Libby, who used to be Dick Cheney's chief of staff until he got into trouble for leaking a CIA agent's identity to reporters, was kicked out of the Washington, DC bar today.
He was convicted of perjury and obstruction of justice in the CIA leak case last year, though President Bush later commuted his sentence. The DC bar association's rules dictate that anyone committed of morally dubious crime be expelled and thus Scooter today saw his law career come to and end, at least in the District of Columbia.
Out of politics, out of law and down on his luck where will Scooter turn? It's hard to get a job after you've been convicted of a crime unless you know someone or something like that. If only he had some powerful friends to help him get back on his feet...
