A Bad Week For Scooter

From 2PJ

Earlier this week I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby decided to drop his appeal - this was for his part in the outing of Valerie Plame. From the AP:

Libby, the former chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney, was convicted of perjury and obstruction for lying about his conversations with reporters about outed CIA operative Valerie Plame.
And yesterday was this:
President Bush granted pardons Tuesday to carjackers, drug dealers, a moonshiner and a violator of election laws, but not to I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, his vice president's former top aide who was convicted in the case of the leaked identity of a CIA operative.
This has gotta be pissing off the wingnuts. I can just hear them now:
  • Scooter remains a convicted felon when that liar Joe Wilson remains free?
  • But Armitage was the leaker!
  • She was only a desk-jockey!
  • She wasn't a covert operative!
  • She was a soccer mom!
  • Her cover had already been blown by Aldrice Ames!
  • It was Wilson who lied about the Uranium in Niger!
  • It's a coup attempt from within the CIA!
  • Hey, Sandy Berger stole documents!
  • In his socks!
  • And Bill Clinton lied, too!
  • Bill Clinton!
  • Bill Clinton!
  • Bill Clinton!

I just dropped in to see what condition your condition was in, Wolf. Glad to have your blog "up and at um" again. We missed the wit, the barbed humor and your honesty.
