I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby was disbarred from practicing law in the nation's capital on Thursday. The former chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney was convicted last year of lying to a grand jury and federal agents probing the leak of the identity of a CIA agent, Valerie Plame Wilson.Fancy that.
"When a member of the Bar is convicted of an offense involving moral turpitude, disbarment is mandatory," the District of Columbia Court of Appeals wrote in its opinion, which is posted on its Web site.
My only question is why the hell is he only being disbarred now?
