"I think he always liked fantasy" (Scooter Libby is a Trekkie)

[TomInTib]

Fellow student (Columbia Law School) Donald Hindle, as quoted in NYTimes 1/17.

"He could remember not only all 79 'Star Trek' episodes, as I could, but he knew all the titles, too," Mr. Hindley said. "I think he always liked fantasy".

Well, Scootie-Poo, I hope that you get to fanatsize maybe 7 years in prison.

And Eternity in Hell with all of the rest of them.

1. He looks stoned on his ass if you ever look at his eyes.

[porphyrian]

10. What's wrong with being stoned? It's not like it's going to make his life worse. - n/t

2. Dear God, he's a Trekkie.

[TahitiNut]

3. Scooter sure has an unusual memory problem.

Rather than forget something that did happen, he remembered something that didn't. He's just the kind of guy we need in the OVP.

:puke:

4. What's a good link to follow this trial? n/t

6. All 79 Star Trek episodes? That's pretty good rememberin'...

"He could remember not only all 79 'Star Trek' episodes, as I could, but he knew all the titles, too," Mr. Hindley said. "I think he always liked fantasy".

Well. That kinda punches a big ol' hole in his "If he did, I don't remember it" line of defense, doesn't it...
Let the games begin!

7. 10-4, good buddy

That is exactly what I was thinking.

Can I get a witness?

[Bobbie Jo]

9. Hell...get this guy as a witness

for the prosecution....

Scooter doesn't appear to have memory issues, does he? :eyes:

8. Kicking because Rodenberry would have really dug this... nt

[calimary]

11. Shit. Sorry to hear this. I'm in very poor company, I see.

But frankly, my love for all things "Star Trek" is such that not even this lying, scheming, criminal pip-squeak could spoil it.

[Der Blaue Engel]

12. Yes, it gives me the wiggins, too

Why couldn't he like The Andy Griffith Show instead?

[JHB]

13. Don't see your point. Trekkies come in all kinds, just like everyone else.

The problem isn't "liking fantasy".

The problem is treating reality like it was fantasy (and forgetting no one person writes the script).
