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."

A Great Compromise by a Great President

Once again, Bush the GREAT shows exactly how to chart a course for fairness, justice and truth. I think it was obvious to everyone that Scooter was the target of a Whitewater-esque witch hunt that had more to do with trying to pay back the Clinton investigations than it did any real crime, and I think the commute was fair. I used to think that history might only place Bush in the top ten of America's greatest presidents, perhaps behind Roosevelt in the last century, but now, I'm not sure that Bush might even be slighted by that.

Could it be that George W. Bush should be in the top 5 of America's greatest presidents?

THREE CHEERS FOR BUSH THE GREAT!

George Bush (Sept 30 2003):

"And if there is a leak out of my administration, I want to know who it is. And if the person has violated law, the person will be taken care of."
Yes, they sure will...

How is disagreeing with the president not even worse treason? Why do you hate freedom so much? Why must you insist on ignoring the real enemy here, people who hate our liberties.
