“But, then, why should the president act, when even much of the conservative press seems willing to forget the man who is Scooter Libby.”
It might be a bit old fashioned, but the President could pardon Libby just because it’s the right thing to do and forget about the politics involved.
Just dreaming again.
Let’s not jump to judge Bush on that point. It’s very possible that Libby has asked him not to issue a pre-election pardon.
