suboptimal information

So I’ll admit it, Bush fooled me again on Scooter Libby.

I mistakenly had thought that George Bush would hold off on springing Scooter Libby. I thought he’d let him spend a token amount of time in prison, maybe saving a pardon for the day after the 2008 election or for the last days of his presidency. But no, he commuted Libby’s sentence before Libby even had to make a Paris Hiltonesque perp ride to jail.

So, shame on me. Shame on me for setting my expectations high enough for old W to let me down. Keep it up Shrub - pardon those who get caught lying for you, award no bid contracts to Halliburton, keep ignoring those pesky Bill of Rights protections, and go on flushing justice down the crapper. We’ll wait until 1/20/2009, maybe the next president will care about their oath.
