Pardon Libby?
Laurence O'Donnell just said it was just about guaranteed on Countdown.

from the Republican Debate:

Giuliani: "The sentence was grossly out of line. I would see if it fit the criteria for pardon."

Brownback: "Yes."

Romney said he'd look like at if president.

Tancredo: "Yes"


and my personal fave:

I want every Republican candidate running for President and Congress to be forced to applaud Libby's pardon and to inscribe their names alongside Scooter's other distinguished defenders, from Rumsfeld to Bolton.

I want American history to possess forever a crystalline illustration of Cheney's whack-ball theory of the unitary executive exempt from the rule of law.

I want the persistent presidential nullification of the Constitution to be perpetually exemplified by an unambiguous act of unmistakable arrogance.

I want Scooter Libby's fate to be be ironically and irrevocably linked to Paris Hilton.

I want Alberto Gonzales and Orrin Hatch to have their credibility fatally and eternally compromised by their fealty to an Administration which equates savage loyalty with justice.

I want every wingnut in the blogosphere to be forced to undermine their own credibility from here to eternity by endlessly recycling their lies about Valerie Plame not being covert, and by contending -- falsley, relentlessly and deliciously self-destructively -- that a pardon does not presume guilt.


Will it happen? What do you think?

1. As I watch one of the talking heads on one of the formerly big three
Might have been ABC (didn't pay much attention) I heard that bu$h wouldn't touch it unless the appeal was denied. Then he would be pressured to pardon him but guess who, none other than the big dick himself

2. My solution for Libby's sentence:
Give a choice between the 30 months and $250,000 or the same time in Iraq, home visit after 15 months. Since 30 months is messing with a man's life, but they don't even talk about the dead troops, let him choose.
