Our boy Irving finds work—and the WashPost's scribe finds humor in the prospect (threat?) of (shudder!) another I. Lewis Libby novel!

For anyone who may have wished to wave farewell to Irving "Lewis" Libby, indicted and deposed henchman of Veep Dick Cheney, with the famous Bob and Ray parting line "Write if you get work!," word now reaches us that the Scooter has landed at the right-wing think tank the Hudson Institute.

Notes Washington Post scribe Al Kamen: "We're told that his salary is on par with the going rate for the deep thinkers—presumably at least as much as his $160,000 White House gig—and that, if he wants, he'll probably still have time to do some consulting or work on a second novel."
