Go throw a nickle down a well and wish upon a star.

Republicans are BALL-LESS DWEEBS and such a scenario will NEVER happen.

If he wouldn’t pardon the two Border Patrol agents that got railroaded into 12 & 13 years of prison... oh, wait. I forgot. He was DRIVING that railroad train.

Big secret: top managers, generally, have no concept of ‘loyalty’ except as something they can punish their subordinates for not having.

As difficult as it has been, I have been trying real hard to stick with Bush. Now however, the immigration thing really made it hard to swallow, but if he lets Libby go to the slammer, I am gone.

WHY is Bush so sensitive about the subject that friends can’t even bring it up?

Several major points:

1. Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald – a Clinton appointee

2. Judge Walton....“the trial did not prove Libby knew that [Valerie] Plame worked in an undercover capacity.”

3. ...trial did prove, beyond any doubt whatsoever,Libby was not the government official who leaked her name

Now what’s wrong with this picture. People are so concerned about sending the wrong man to jail. Where’s the outcry? Sending Libby to jail would tantamount to a travesty of justice.

There is much more to come. Stay tuned.

Reason to hope? As suggested elsewhere on FR, a presidential pardon would not remove the stain of this conviction.

Let them exhaust their appeals.

Severity suggests desperation.

No wonder Bush is so far out of the loop......WHO is controlling access to the president and keeping him uninformed? Rove? Who? Bush needs to connect with his “base” and see things for himself.

Republicans are BALL-LESS DWEEBS...

Hmmmm... may I make a slight modification?

Most Republicans in Congress and the Senate are BALL-LESS DWEEBS...

Please don't paint fine American members of the Republican party with that brush.

President Bush has no problem demanding blanket amnesty for 15 to 20 million illegal aliens.

But he can't bring himself to pardon a loyal subordinate who was railroaded.

Pathetic.

President Thompson will pardon Scooter. He just needs to drag the appeals process out until the inauguration.

Plame has made her own punishment...she has to live with that dickhead Joe Wilson, and she can’t get rid of him by recommending him for any foreign service.

These two are toast in D.C. They’ll have to find a playground elsewhere.

SEE:

SNEAK PREVIEW!

View the SECRET email from Valerie Plame Wilson to her bosses at CIA that she was hoping would remain classified.

It shows beyond any doubt who sent Joe Wilson to Niger in Feburary 2002....

Read my story about the Senate Intelligence committee's rebuke of Joe Wilson at Newsmax

Scooter might be guilty of lying, if so it is a separate issue from Plame's lies. Didn't the Congress just say again that Joe Wilson was a liar? If so, it is a crime that Valerie Plame sat behind her CIA protection knowing (and OBVIOUSLY approving) that her husband was publicly revealing and lying about a confidential CIA mission which she sent him on.

But even if she didn't send him (she did)it was positively criminal for her to enjoy the show while her husband lied about an agency mission on every tv station.

Her own husband, that's what makes the idea of her "covert" status ridiculous. How the hell could anyone expect their being covert to protect them from their husband going on a public world tour shouting that he went on a secret mission???

"Prosecute Plame?"

Innocent! Innocent! Innocent!

I can't help it ... she's too lovely to go behind bars. I would acquit if only she'd have dinner with me at Nathan's in Georgetown. [I know I will be flamed for this.]

Well, somebody had to post pictures ...

If anyone thought this story ended with Scooter Libby’s sentencing hearing, or even with him going to jail, think again.

I doubt it. Mr. "straight arrow" prosecutor will apply the Clinton Rule - Democrats are not prosecuted for perjury.
