This Could Take A While

Jury selection began yesterday in the Scooter Libby "Plamegate" trial. According to an AP report, Libby's lawyers are "looking for potential jurors who trust Vice President Dick Cheney." Cheney is expected to testify as a witness.

Libby's attorneys say it's critical they know whether potential jurors view the vice president as credible. Two people who expressed doubts about that were dismissed from the jury pool Tuesday.

Residents of Washington DC who find Dick Cheney credible? Good luck.
