Begging your pardon...
Jul. 2nd, 2007 04:21 pmMany people are saying, "I told you so" with regard to Bush's action on behalf of his pal, Scooter.
I, for one, was pleasantly surprised. I expected a full pardon. But Bush only commuted the sentance. Libby is not fully exonerated, he will still pay (too light) consequences of $200,000 fine and two years probation. Libby remains a convicted felon.
That is an interesting message. "I'll cover your ass part way, but not all the way." Hmmm. Kinda like "Have fun, but don't get caught!"
