Free Libby
That was quick: Scooter Libby's sentence commuted.
Too bad there will be no chance for "when" pools.
Personally, I'm surprised he didn't wait until tomorrow evening.

I assume Bush is just following through on the deal. |

Ty,
It's nice of you to use a picture to get across Burger's post. Did you do that to help Hank? How thoughtful! |

He does remain a convicted felon, on probation, and responsible for a criminal fine. The only thing he avoided was actual jail time.

Does that mean he can't vote?
Bush could still pardon him, no? |

I'm sure that was negotiated, and that he'll have a soft landing somewhere that will help with the fine. |

I'm a lot more annoyed now that Paris Hilton did time.

Parental notification laws= pathetic attempts to dissuade people from getting abortions. The hope is that before the abortion takes place, the girl's parents may talk her out of it. Or....the girl won't have one because she's too scared to tell her parents. Plain and simple.
This case makes me sick. Oh, and was there some suggestion that there's a big post abortion risk of regretting it? Cause that's bullshit.

This was a well deserved FU to the Democrats! And about time. Hopefully this signals that Bush is back in the saddle. If so, I am betting we see troops in Iran before year's end.
Also, look for that shit-bag Fitzgerald to get Nifonged before this over!
Hey Fitzie and you traitorous Plame-Wilsons, Karl Rove has a message for you:

Bush said Cheney's former aide was not getting off free.
"The reputation he gained through his years of public service and professional work in the legal community is forever damaged," Bush said. "His wife and young children have also suffered immensely. He will remain on probation. The significant fines imposed by the judge will remain in effect. The consequences of his felony conviction on his former life as a lawyer, public servant and private citizen will be long-lasting."
How is that not true of anyone who is convicted of a crime for the first time who is an adult? What asinine reasoning. If that's the case, pretty much every first-time offender should have their sentences commuted. |
