Bush Commutes Libby's Sentence
An anonymous reader notes that President Bush has decided to commute Scooter Libby's sentence after numerous appeals failed. Libby was convicted in March of obstruction of justice in connection with the Valerie Plame affair. The President's action spares Libby from 30 months behind bars."
Seriously as sad as it is this doesn't surprise me. The worst part is no one will care, and the Bush regime will continue its reign of terror.

Wow! You are the perfect poster child for the Democratic party.... Not! I have voted for both major parties and independants in the past. The Democratic and Republican sides of me sure hope you do not have children.

Do you even know what Libby was convicted of? Obviously not.
Hint: It's not outing Plame. The guy that "outed" the non-covert agent Plame wasn't even charged.
Whoever moderated this informative is a fucking moron. By its very definition, deliberate misinformation is the opposite of informative. Falsehoods are not informative, Flat out lies are not informative.

How the fsck can this trip be modded Informative?k /
Do the facts somehow escape your whiney little prozac-deprived crypto-marxist terrorist-boot-licking please-beat-me-with-the-guilt-stick post-modernist text? Deconstruct the reality, twit:

Clinton was an idiot, the Starr investigation a joke, and the Libby chaser a punchline.
There was no serious pursuit of anything here. A bunch of lawyers mugged the American people for seven or eight figures worth of billable hours.
If Fitzgerald were any less competent, his name would be Nifong.
Obama criticized Bush for pardoning Sooter Libby. Nancy Pelosi said Bush cannot be trusted.
Where these two clowns come from? With stupid fools like them who need idiots?
Clinton pardoned around 400 criminals during his two terms. These criminals included friends of his contributors, drug pushers, and thefts.
If Obama and Nancy Pelosi do not know history, they should at least have the wisdom to remain quiet.How do these clowns made it to the top of our government?
The liberals are all talking about New Age...the Age of enlightenment. Is this the kind of enlightenment they are talking about?
Is twinsting fact and logic enightenment? Is absence of self criticsm self-enlightenment?
During the entire Katrina debacle...not a single liberal come out and say..."Hey, it is not Bush fault because Bush is so far remote from the scene. We should take a look at our systems and fix it."
No...they all blamed Bush...every single one of them.....not an exception.
If you accept this, you cannot possibly be enlightened. You do not even have a tiny bit of justice in you.
Nature sent us a hurricane, Bush was blamed. Nature sent us a drought, Bush is to blame. What's wrong with them?
If this is enlightenment, then what is dark age?
I honestly think this is the darkest of all dark ages when facts are twisted for political purposes an the intelligent are taking advantages of the not so intelligent by lying to them and brain washing them. When lying is alright and the the honest ones are put to jail.
This is the darkest hour before the dawn.
If you want to fill a crock with clean nice food, you must empty out the crap in it first.
Are you ready for the purge?
I am.
Even if it stinks high heaven, but I am ready.
Let's try agaiun
1) You lie, and you have no evidence. Furthermore, Fitzgerald could not know if this was the case because Libby was lying to him. Which is why Libby should be in jail.
2) See number one. Also, there is no "a crime was not committed so the perjury is not a crime" card.
3) See number two - lying and obstruction of justice are crimes. You don't have to prove the underlying crime, precisely because the lying and obstruction of justice prevent it.
4) The judge was firmly within federal sentencing guidelines, period.
STFU, go back under your bridge. Why do you hate America and the Rule of Law? Do you just love the arbitrary excercise of power so much you can't bear to see it criticized? Do you love the Republican party more than you love your country? Or do you just not care at all? What part of "don't out the CIA agents" is hard for you to understand? What part of "restoring honor and dignity" had you and your scumfuck compatriots crossing your fingers behind your backs back in 2000?
You would have been a Good German, back in the day. Another 10% like you and we'll get to relive those days again. Fortunately, that 10%, representing honest Republicans, seems to be holding strong against you and your ilk (the remaining 60% of Americans being poorly represented).
Expanding a vast wasteland since 1996.
The Mongols loved Genghis Khan for uniting the tribes, elevating the people, and ending the infighting among them. Much of the rest of Asia loved him for providing one of the most extensive centers of cultural and intellectual exchange in history.
I'm sure the Huns appreciated Attila's success in war, but I don't think anyone loved Stalin.
And hopefully no one loves the mini-Hitlers who go around modding conservative posts "flamebait".
Y'know, it's bloody fucking amazing how many people all of a sudden have eidetic memories in this fucking country. *sneers* What a bunch of poltroons. You ratfuckers couldn't give the exact date of an event that, to you, was relatively insignificant, which is what this entire situation was to Libby. And yet here you are like a good bunch of little brown shirts, parroting the Pravda line.
I'm not an American. I will probably never vist the USA again because I actively fear being harassed by officials for my big mouth. Your actions, you fucking stinking heap of shit, have caused tens of thousands of innocent people to die and it seems very likely that many tens of thouands more will die before this is all over. You have made the world a phenomenally unsafe place, actually giving the freaks who started all this insanity in 2001, far more support than they ever would have had otherwise. You have sullied your country's reputation so badly that all the things that your country supposedly, in some way, stood for, such as freedom (no, not the potatoes, you dumb cunt) of opportunity, speech and lifestyle, have become null and void, destroyed by a big, dark, terrifying cabal of huge multinational corporations and utterly corrupt and amoral politicians. Your bunnies, Tony the poodle (selling his own country out bit by bit), and Johnny the bonobo (fucking Australia till it hurts), are going or are gone. All your corrupt buddies in world bodies, like Wolfie and Bolt-on, have been thrown out, becuase no one respects or trusts you, you sick prick. Even your own party is trying desperately to distance itself from you.
Did you know, you stupid semi-literate fuck, that China, of all the possible places, is regarded as being more friendly than the USA today by the majority of the world's population?
And today, difficult as it may seem, you actually managed to make me, once again, feel physically ill. You actually managed to lower my opinion of you.
I seriously doubt, you bastard, that history will much in the way of kind, good, and especially intelligent words for you.
May you burn in hell.
