Scooter Libby sentencing
Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. No, really. He wasn't convicted of outing Valerie Plame, he was convicted of lying. I feel sorry for him - he's clearly a fall guy and he shouldn't take all the blame - it wasn't his idea, after all. But I'm glad he's being made an example of. The Republicans were apoplectic about Clinton's lies, and his didn't involve national security or a war that's killed thousands. The same standard should apply (ha ha!)
Will he be pardoned - absolutely. Maybe later rather than sooner, but there's no way he'll spend two and a half years in jail.
Now I can't wait to see the outcome of the lawsuit that Valerie Plame and Joe Wilson have instigated.
