Pardon Libby Now!

Relax. It's not like he'll spend a day in prison. Appeals will keep him on the street until Bush can avoid any political fallout by pardoning him as he leaves office.

LOL, he didn't even wait that long
 
Political fallout? He's the president of the United States of America and at the tail end of his second term, what's he going to do next?

Look, if Billy-Bob Clinton can pardon Mark Rich, Bush can pardon Scooter Libby and that's that.

Besides, look at the facts, Libby didn't do anything and neither did Cheney really Dems just had to do something to save face.

Good god, there is no hope.

How about if your brother or sister was a serving secret service agent in the field and the government revealed their identity for political reasons. How would you feel then?

Hold the phone here, it's a fact that Libby lied under oath and perjured himself.

Wasn't that what the whole Billy Clinton/impeachment thing was about? Lying under oath?

Talk about a double standard.

Besides, it can pretty much be assumed that Libby was the sacrificial lamb in this whole thing. Cheney's the one that should have ended up sitting in a 6x8 cell bobbing off the end of Bubba's wang.
 
“I don’t give a goddamn,” Bush retorted. “I’m the President and the Commander-in-Chief. Do it my way.”

“Mr. President,” one aide in the meeting said. “There is a valid case that the provisions in this law undermine the Constitution.”

“Stop throwing the Constitution in my face,” Bush screamed back. “It’s just a goddamned piece of paper!”

Funny, because NOW Bush claims his authority to pardon Libby comes from the Constitution.
