The Capitol Steps : Scooter Goes to Jail

Welcome to Talking Justice Sign in | Join | Help

The Capitol Steps began as a group of Senate staffers who set out to satirize the very people and places that employed them. In the years that followed, many of the Steps ignored the conventional wisdom ("Don't quit your day job!"), and although not all of the current members of the Steps are former Capitol Hill staffers, taken together the performers have worked in a total of eighteen Congressional offices and represent 62 years of collective House and Senate staff experience.

Scooter Goes to Jail

Scooter Libby is heading to jail. Many of his supporters petitioned for a lenient sentence, or none at all. Instead, the judge sentenced Cheney's former chief of staff to 30 months after his conviction on four out of five counts of perjury and obstruction of justice in the Plame affair. Now, there's only one last hope for Scooter.
