Cartoonist Helps Launch 'Scooter' Libby Parody Site


NEW YORK Takebackthemedia.com and Buzzflash.com have launched a Web site that parodies efforts to raise money for the legal defense of I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, the Cheney aide indicted for his alleged role in "Plamegate."

Michael Stinson, a cartoonist and flash animator who co-founded Takebackthemedia.com, said "The Libby Defense Fund" parody site "asks that people donate to worthwhile organizations instead of Libby." Stinson told E&P that those organizations include Greenpeace, Doctors Without Borders, and Gold Star Families for Peace, among others.

"Plamegate," of course, involved the leaking of the name of CIA operative Valerie Plame -- wife of Iraq War critic Joseph Wilson. She was "outed" in a 2003 column by Robert Novak of the Chicago Sun-Times and Creators Syndicate.
