Scooter Libby Is No Nelson Mandela

I’m surprised that any emotion can arise from President Bush’s commute of Scooter Libby’s sentence. The story was dull from the start, reaked of inside the beltway gossip, and lack any substantial gravitas. A man gave incorrect information and was sentenced to less than three years. This is not the material for a David Baldacci novel. Laura Ingraham had it right when asked to rate how much the American people cared about the CIA leak case, she replyed negative three. Considering this was about testimony not the leak itself, the number could only free fall. For D.C. Dems it was as close as they were going to get to impeaching the President for going to Iraq showing how weak their case was. For D.C. Republicans they were protecting one of their own who messed up and played the victim card. In a world plagued with injustice, Libby is a poor example of it.
