Can’t say I’m at all surprised at Bush commuting noted perjurer and ursophile Scooter Libby’s sentence. Like he was ever going to spend even one day in jail. The only surprise is that’s it’s a commutation and not a pardon: the conviction still stands.
But what I wonder is, why did Bush Cheney let Libby twist in the wind for so long? Was it just for the pleasure of seeing him suffer? And what did Scooter have to promise to eventually get the commutation?
Somewhere in the White House, maybe in a man-sized safe, there’s a swingeing confidentiality agreement with not only Scooter’s signature appended but also his testicles stapled to it. And possibly a video of Scooter-baby and a bear.
