Pres. Bush commutes Libby's sentence

The Dems are angry, the WaPo says this was A Decision Made Largely Alone (imagine that!) and Olbermann throws a snit and calls Pres. Bush "Worst Person in the World".

Bully for Bush.

As Ed said,

The President just enraged his base by attempting to push a deeply unpopular immigration bill through the Senate. He could regain a lot of that ground with a commutation of Libby's sentence

And so he did.

Me, I would have commuted the sentence to exactly what Sandy Berger got for illegally removing highly classified documents from the National Archives and intentionally destroying some of them: $50,000 fine, $6,905 for the administrative costs of his two-year probation, and 100 hours of community service.

Snakes on the Plame

Yes. I could not resist that post title. So there.

Just One Minute has the latest:
Knocking the Prosecutor for Some Loops

Into every bully boy's world a tougher opponent will appear. Today the prosecution gets to meet the defense, and the defense has landed some blows designed as much to undercut the challenger's confidence as to get into the record what they need.

You must read all the details.

As The Anchoress says,

The Game re Plame is going down in Flames. Kim and AJ Strata, Tom Maguire of Just One Minute and others are covering this whole sham story.

Abracadabra has transcript and summary:

Shorter Armitage on Joe Wilson: Wilson turned the Bush Administration upside down in order to satisfy his ginormous ego. He didn't like being designated as a low-level guy.

What a despicable little character he is.
