a travesty.....

ok, so this from the w.post.....President Bush today commuted the prison sentence of I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, Vice President Cheney's former chief of staff, sparing him
Statement by President

"With the denial of bail being upheld and incarceration imminent, I believe it is now important to react to that decision," Bush said in a statement issued by the White House early this evening. Although the president said he "respected" the jury's verdict, he added that he had "concluded that the prison sentence given to Mr. Libby is excessive."

so......since dubya asked libby to lie in the first place....he could have saved the taxpayers a load of cash by pardoning him upfront.....
