Libby
I just have to comment since this was one of my favorite stories over the past two years. I applaud the President for sparing Libby any jail time. However, it would be nice to see President Bush take on the hysterical claims of Joe Wilson and his lying enablers directly at some point when this is all over. Wilson’s wife was not covert. No crime was committed and two years were wasted on this investigation. The public needs to be reminded of this.
Opinion journal argues for a full pardon. I’m not sure how I feel about that as Libby is still appealing the appointment of the special prosecutor and that case probably needs to be settled.
Finally, it is fantastic to see Fitzmas end with such a whimper. Keith Olbermann said last night this was a “virtual pardon.” Right. The DU and Kos commenters are in hysterics and threatening to impeach President Bush. Where was all this indignation when President Clinton commuted the sentence of Mel Reynolds, child molester? And here I thought liberals cared about the children.
