Libby gets out of jail free

One must think like a hero to behave like a merely decent human being.
-May Sarton, poet and novelist (1912-1995)

I don't know why I was surprised, but I was. My theory is that Bush's much-vaunted "political capital" has so eroded, especially after the demise of the immigration bill, that he figures, "what the hell?" Libby's sentence was commuted - he wasn't pardoned, but that's cold comfort. I don't really care, though - why should Libby sit in jail while Gonzales, Cheney, and especially Karl Rove, keep their jobs?
