'Scooter'ing Libby

Seven months after “President” Bush commuted the prison sentence of Scooter “Perjurer” Libby he is dropping his appeal in the CIA leak case. Quick recap; Libby was Cheney’s former COS who was convicted earlier this year on obstruction of justice and perjury charges.

Said Libby’s attorney Theodore Wells; “We remain firmly convinced of Mr. Libby’s innocence. However, the realities were, that after five years of government service by Mr. Libby and several years of defending against this case, the burden on Mr. Libby and his young family of continuing to pursue his complete vindication are too great to ask them to bear.”

AP notes that Libby is still a convicted felon, but mentions that Bush could issue a full pardon as his administration winds down… say on January 19, 2009…

Remember back in July when White House Press Secretary Tony “Job” Snow said that the Bush(whacked) Administration couldn’t discuss the Libby case because there was “still an appeal” going on…

So I guess {he typed, his eyes rolling hard in his head} we can expect a discussion about this from the White House soon…

Right?
