As you well know, President Bush commuted Scooter Libby's sentence yesterday. I have very little to add other than to note that this does nothing but embolden all the sallow humorless geeks that run the campaigns of the current GOP presidential aspirants. If Libby can beat the rap, then what freedom, what license, what scope of action can they look forward to once they seize power?
This is why, to a man, the whole of the GOP field was for pardoning Libby, because they want that precedent set for their own people when the time comes.
The sheer market value of a highly placed staff job in the White House just went thru the roof as of today.
