Pachacutec at firedoglake reviews the first day of jury selection. He reports on Fitz's questioning of a potential juror: As one woman mentioned she has three children, Fitzgerald responded, "I take it these are young children?" Instantly, and with a southern twang, the woman countered, "Oh, aren't you sweet!" Team Libby had to excuse a juror who claimed to read Sullivan and Powerline occasionally, because "his opinion of Vice President Cheney's credibility is so low that, were sworn testimony offered by Cheney to be contradicted by another witness, the prospective juror would be hard pressed not to feel predisposed to find the vice president unbelievable."
