Judy’s Con Game

Jack Shafer’s patient explanation about New York Times writer Judith Miller reminded me of my first game of Three Card Monte: The more I watched the more confused I got. But after an hour of names, dates, and charts, this is what seems to have happened:

1. New York Times exchanged info with the White House.
2. New York Times printed the info.
3. Someone complained.
4. New York Times demanded prosecution.
5. New York Times resisted prosecutors & demanded waivers.
6. New York Times resisted prosecutors and ignored waivers.
7. Judy went to jail.
8. Judy got tired of jail and accepted waivers.

It must be awful for left-wing journalists when they’re treated like ordinary Americans. I’m not saying that she deserved jail, but her anxiety somehow reminded me of OJ’s frustration with the LAPD’s failure to find his wife’s killer.

I only hope they find the justice they seek.
