Libby Scoots Past Prison

Scooter Libby is not going to jail because King George communted the top GOP operative's sentence. The old buddy system is hard at work. Libby will still have to pay his $250,000 fine and remain on probation for two years, but he will not be serving time.

Anyone who is shocked or surprised, please leave the room. You are too stupid to have an opinion. Notice that King George never said that Scooter was innocent. He just didn’t want him to go to jail. In the end, I doubt it will matter much. Seems like many Republicans wanted their boy saved by the administration in some kind of nose-thumb to former President Clinton for not being hung from the gallows. Why this has anything to do with Clinton is beyond me, but that’s politics. Doc417 has a hard-on for Simple Thoughts and the Repugs have a blue-vein boner for Clinton. Oh well. You can’t trust people anyway. Hell almighty, people celebrated when OJ got off. Let the Repugs have their Scooter pie. It won’t affect the elections.

The Dems? Well they will be pissed and carry on and then they will have to deal with the fact that they didn’t get their pound of flesh. Life goes on. Maybe Scoot can write a book later about how he would leak a CIA operative’s name … if he really wanted to, that is.

It must be good to be rich and well connected.
