White House Won't Rule Out Full Libby Pardon
USA Today reports:
WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House on Tuesday declined to rule out the possibility of an eventual pardon for former vice presidential aide I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby. But spokesman Tony Snow said, for now, President Bush is satisfied with his decision to commute Libby's 2 1/2-year prison sentence.
"He thought any jail time was excessive. He did not see fit to have Scooter Libby taken to jail," Snow said.
As the left continues to howl about the unfairness of it all, they conveniently gloss over some of the pardons made by Bill Clinton (Marc Rich is a prime example), and the slap on the wrist received by Sandy Berger for stealing documents out of the National Archive. A little perspective can go a long way.
As it stands now, Libby's felony conviction remains on his record, and he still has to pay the quarter million dollar fine.
Question: with increased terrorist threats abroad and Iraq still a going concern, is this really what we need to spend the bulk of our energies on?

I'm surprised at you. We all know that we have a solemn duty to smear and tear down President Bush in order to lose the war against jihadists. Once they've achieved victory over us evil Americans, there won't be any more terrorist bombings. See how easy that was? All we'll need to do is pay our dhimmi taxes and we'll be in pieces, er, at peace.
