Top Ten Cloves: Reasons Scooter Libby Gave Judith Miller Okay To Reveal Source and Testify

10. Trying to curry favor with prosecutor and grand jury so he won't be indicted

9. Wanted to get her out in time to see the foliage

8. Figured with Cheney out of the office for surgery, he could get away with a few things

7. Was tired of the hurricane coverage and wanted to give the media something else, and recharge the Wilson smear

6. Lost a bet; Gambled the Senate wouldn't confirm John Roberts

5. Heard Judy Miller was out of cigarettes and couldn't buy or trade things anymore

4. Soft spot for Judy; Only reporter that didn't call him "Scooter" in public

3. Influenced by new show, "My Name Is Earl" and just going down his list

2. Did it as a side deal with Ronnie Earle, in case Tom DeLay tries to finger him for anything

1. Waiting 89 days … He was in his FEMA-mode
