I hope he sits in jail until Bush leaves office. In any event - he has been convicted. Pardon or no - hes a criminal.
I hope bush pardons him tomorrow. This is the worst sort of political persecution.

Libby was convicted by a Republican-appointed Prosecutor, a Republican-appointed Judge, and a bi-partisan jury. It's really sad that he took the bullet for Cheney and Rove! I think Bush should pardon him soon, since Bush has already destroyed the GOP and it is in shreds, and there will be no political recupersions for his granting a pardon. By the way, does anybody think a grown man entering prison should drop the name, "Scooter?"
He was convicted by a Jury , he does the time, or go slap the Juros in the face for doing a job ! What's the point of going thru the whole process ,money , time , resources spent for nothing . an Indictment , a Conviction , Jail time as you or I - " Justice For All _ Even The Victims "
I hope he serves his entire sentence but I'm sure it was all well planned out in advance -- Bush and Cheney agreed with him that if Scooter took the rap that he would be taken care of.
It really irked me to hear former prosecutor Rudy Guliani saying that Libby's sentence was not appropriate, something about there was no underlying crime committed. The man was convicted of obstruction of justice. Just like Martha Stewart.
The only question is WHEN Bush will pardon him. My guess is he will do it on the last day of his presidency.

A "LOT" of politicians are VERY crooked and do far worse than John Q Public does.... but they never have to do the time... money, friends in higher places...
The LAWS are definitely NOT the same for an elected official than for us peons.

He was convicted by a jury. He lied to federal agents. Why should he be held to a different standard than anyone else? He should not. Its amusing how politics can turn a conviction by jury into "persecution". Wonder if the whole jury was Democrats?

And he should NOT be, Snake... but he got 30 months... let's just SEE how many he serves... and how much he is rewarded for taking the fall afterwards... actually, if we REALLY knew, we would probably all be sick.
