Busy day. Unfortunately, Scooter Libby was convicted today on 4 of 5
counts of lying to FBI and grand jury in association with the Joe Wilson/Valerie Plame
CIA leak. Had House Appropriations Subcommittee Hearing today and it went well.
Also, had a farewell dinner at Oceanaire in honor of Alex Azar who is stepping down as
deputy Secretary at HHS. The old HHS crowd was there including former Secretary
Tommy Thompson. Had a great conversation with him. He has put his name in as a
candidate for Republican nominee for President. He is optimistic about winning the Iowa
Caucus. He discussed with me the best plan that I have heard yet about how to handle
the dreadful Iraq situation. Also, at the dinner were Janet Rehnquist, Stew Simonson,
Scott Whitaker, Bruce Gellin, Lester Crawford (recently convicted for lying on his
financial disclosure when he was FDA Acting Commissioner), Paula Staudard, and
others. Very cold day in DC with temps in the teens.
