Scooter gets a Dozen and a 1/2
 

WASHINGTON - Former White House aide I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby was sentenced to 2 1/2 years in prison Tuesday for lying and obstructing the CIA leak investigation.


Libby, the former chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney, stood calmly before a packed courtroom as a federal judge said the evidence overwhelmingly proved his guilt and left the courthouse without commenting.

correction... 2 dozen


...jet lag

Bush'll pardon him. He takes care of his own.

what up daemon? long time no see :)

yeah, when will people learn you just cant get away with lying? the CIA? what the hell? you dont lie to gov't agencies...it just doesnt end well!

I was up in Canada...where it was 'safe' for a week....LOL


Kevin...2.5 years...what's the need to pardon......ummm...wait....he can get him out a few months before he leaves office....hmmmmm

BAA, Scape Goat!:confused:

Well, of course he screwed up, but under whose orders?

He will come out a little richer but a little bigger in the shorts!;)

Not a Libby fan at all, but it is interesting (ironic?) that his sentence is longer than several of the Watergate conspirators.

Is the judge making a point? As I understand it, he is a Bush appointee.

I'll be damned... u were right...but


-he is still considered a felon

- he still has to pay 250,000

- he will more than likely lose his law licence...

Yeah, and I think thats more than enough.

Well Bush pardoned his boy as expected...

Grrrrr...:mad:

He received a presidential commutation; there is a diffrence. However a pardon is still a possibility in the near future.

Relax, chief - every president does this, it's basically standard.

I'll bet Animate was equally pissed after the Clinton pardons.

If you're going to jump on a bandwagon, why not at least look into the subject more? Libby is loved by a lot of Dems. He's not exactly the most polarizing figure out there. It's not like Rove was the one on trial. So he's not only a bad candidate to attack, his sentence was ridiculous, and Bush hasn't gone on a pardon spree like Clinton and Ford.
