Newspaper calls for Libby pardon...
...The Mobile (Ala.) Press-Register openly depicts Libby as a scapegoat, "a long-time public servant" against whom charges were "bogus"" and "politically-motivated" and characterized the sentencing judge's remarks as "faint criticism."

Poor Scooter from the lib'rul media

1. Fuck. That.
I don't think that even W is that batshitcrazy to pardon Libby. But I've been wrong before about how insane W is.

2. A deliberate, intentional perjurer.
Whose reason for perjury was to prevent being brought up on the greater charges of treason.

Yeah, that's what I want in a "public servant."

7. Notice how they ignored...
...the sentencing judge's admonition on wanting to send a message that Libby wasn't above the law due to his station in life?

6. We should send LTTE regarding "pardoning" the soldiers - a la what O'Donnell said in KO last night
Who speaks for the soldiers sent to Iraq? You'd think these neo-cons who started this fucking war would. But NOOOOOOOOO

I'm looking for the transcript from last night's Countdown. Not up yet.

11. Rethugs believe in two sets of Laws.
One for themselves and one for anyone else. When they break laws they are to be excused because they are patriots. When anyone else breaks laws they are to be punished severely.
