Kinsley says about Scooter: "I feel that he should not have had to face a perjury trap: the choice between prison for lying, or prison for his role in a set of transactions that the press regards as not merely O.K. but sacrosanct. " If this means, gee, we guys in the Press shouldn't have asked him questions about classified information, your reading would make sense. But I read it as saying he shouldn't have been put in the "perjury trap" that was not a trap at all, of course, thanks to the 5th Amendment.

He's saying that the press shouldn't have taken his leaks in the first place. He's careful not to defend what Libby did once he was in the perjury trap.
Kinsley doesn't answer the questions that other pundits can answer. He thinks outside the box. Understood as a proposition for establishing a niche in the media marketplace, the man is brilliant. Maureen Dowd is just playing his game.

Seems to me he's no upset about the traitorous lying weasel getting off.

No, he's much too cerebral to get upset about much of anything, except perhaps stem-cell research.
