Buch has no political capital to lose by pardoning him. Why not do the right thing and maybe his Base will give him credit for something tangible?
Pardon him, now, Mr. President.
Time to step up George. Its a chance to regain a sliver of the credibility you have lost..
He broke the law. He should go to jail.End the discussion and move on.
Yet another issue so called conservatives shoot themselves in the foot over.
Free Libby! Jail Slick Willie!
I can’t believe the President wouldn’t pardon him. I mean, what would GWB be worried about? His poll numbers?
That's how low my opinion of the President is right now.
How much longer, Jorge ?
He could go to Mexico, disavow his U.S. citizenship and sneak back in as an “illegal” living in the shadows, doing interviews on tv programs.
Scooter is getting treated pretty harshly IMHO.
Pardon Libby now. Let the libs have a fit and then hit them with clintons pardon antics and the seriousness of the crimes involved...
Unfortunately for all but the Dhimmis, President Bush won’t pardon Libby (I’m betting that he won’t even address it). I get the impression (again, because he won’t even address it) that he (like the dimwits who say “He broke the law - he should go to jail”) can’t interfere because it is a matter “Between Mr. Libby and the Justice system”.
The losers (beyond Mr. Libby of course) are the Republican party and the American people. The mounting cynicism that is driving people away from the party is allowing Dhimmis to prevail.
Thank you Mr. Bush...
Bush expends considerable energy defending his mistakes, if they are committed by personal friends like Miers or Gonzalez. And he defends his political enemies like the clintons and their stooges. But apparently he isn’t interested in defending loyal, patriotic people who simply work under him for the good of our country, like Libby, the jailed border guards, or the Haditha marines. They can all hang in the wind.

"introduced the Washington insider to readers and viewers with profile after profile detailing Libby's resume, from his college days right through his time in the White House. It was telling how many of those features forgot to mention the fact that during the 1990's Libby pocketed $2 million in fees working as the American attorney and chief advocate for Marc Rich, the disgraced billionaire fugitive. It was Libby who helped construct the sales pitch used to try to secure Rich a presidential pardon. The pardon was finally granted by President Clinton during his last days in office, which ignited one last free-wheeling Clinton press scandal. (Libby called Rich to congratulate him when he heard the good news of the pardon.) Prior to the indictments, it was the only real stain on Libby's impressive resume and cast some doubt of Libby's lofty, Man for All Seasons persona pushed in the press.
This is soooooooooooooooooo wrong.

email addy for the WH. Of course, you can also call or use snail mail.
Another reason to elect Fred. He said he’d pardon Libby right away.
