I just run out of words
President Bush commuted the sentence of former aide I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby Monday, sparing him from a 2 1/2-year prison term in the CIA leak case.
And here I thought the administration couldn't get more brazen. Wow. You do have to give them points for their sheer contempt for the rule of law.

So, basically, he's saying, "The jury was right, but Scooter got Paris Hilton'ed by the judge!"
Give it a year or so for people to forget, and you can expect a pardon to follow, on the grounds that Scooter has "shown appropriate remorse" or some such horsehockey. It'll definitely be one of his leaving-office deals.
BTW, most Presidential pardons come after time has been served. The idea is that they help wipe a slate clean after the person has paid their debt to society. They're not generally supposed to be a "get off scot-free" card.
