Not surprised, but spitting mad.

Bush commutes Libby's prison sentence
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President Bush commuted Monday the prison term of former White House aide I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, facing30 months in prison after a federal court convicted him of perjury,obstruction of justice and lying to investigators.

In a written statement commuting the jail sentence, issued hours after Monday's ruling, Bush called the sentence "excessive," and suggested that Libby will pay a big enough price for his conviction.

"The consequences of his felony conviction on his former life as a lawyer, public servant, and private citizen will be long-lasting," Bush said.


Excessive? Excessive? That band of liars outed a under cover CIA operative out of spite because her husband told the truth, contradicting what Bush wanted to hear, then they lied about it. Libby perjured himself, and was convicted. He gets 30 months in Club Fed. The only thing wrong with his sentence is that Rove, Cheney, and Bush aren't sharing that sentence with him.

I wonder how 'excessive' his sentence would be considered if their petty spiteful actions had caused the deaths of CIA operatives.

An outraged Joe Wilson, Plame's husband, spoke to CNN shortly after the ruling. The former ambassador had openly questioned the Bush administration's basis for invading Iraq.

He and his wife contend her name was leaked to the media as retribution for Wilson's comments.

"I have nothing to say to Scooter Libby," Wilson said. "I don't owe this administration. They owe my wife and my family an apology for having betrayed her. Scooter Libby is a traitor."

Wilson also said Bush's action today demonstrates that the White House is "corrupt from top to bottom."

I couldn't agree more.

This isn't anything like the old 'shoots like storm troopers' cartoon version from the 80's. Holy crow, it rocked.

I still think Bumblebee should have been a VeeDub. heh

Get ready to be shocked.

Sicko will make you sick. The slick verbal games used by bought and paid for politicians, who trot out how much they loved their mothers/grandmothers to get a sneaky bill passed. How HMOs will deny life giving treatments to make sure their CEOs and share holders are rolling in billions.

Example: a 22 yr old got cervical cancer. She was denied by her medical insurance because at 22 she was too young to have cervical cancer. She is now broke and cancer free, and sneaking across the border into Canada to get the medical treatment she and her daughter needs. Americans marrying Canadians for health care?

Of course GOP mouth pieces do their best to deride it. So Moore asked Canadians how the medical treatment is there, and the citizens of Canada contradicted the GOP campaign against public health.
