Is this a joke? [UPDATED]
From TPM

In the department of 'you can't make this stuff up' Scooter Libby, lawyer, foreign policy hand, author and Dick Cheney's personal one-man heat shield, has hired a memory loss expert to assist in his defense.

The new cottage industry? Psychics and other mediums willing to reach into the tortured souls of Republican elected officials for the purposes of legal defense?

[UPDATE: As Deb points out in the comments, Scooter may well be more interested in hiring the kind of "memory loss experts" you saw in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind...making sure his memory gets erased, not restored.]
