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.

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.

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

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.
