"I don't know what you mean by 'equal justice under the law.' "

huh...? 'scuse me...? would you mind running that by me again...?

From this afternoon's White House press briefing:
Q Scott, is Scooter Libby getting more than equal justice under the law? Is he getting special treatment?

MR. STANZEL: Well, I guess I don't know what you mean by "equal justice under the law." But this is a unique case, there's no doubt about that.

oh, it's unique, all right... unique in its complete and total disregard for our justice system and our proclaimed adherence to the rule of law, both of which bushco pays such lip service to both here and around the world...
