What I Would Have Done If I Were President:
This whole travesty was never about Scooter Libby, the Vice President or even whether Saddam Hussein was attempting to acquire yellow cake uranium; it was about liberals concocting evidence to “prove” the President lied his way into the War in Iraq.
Barak Hussein Obama continued that pursuit with his reaction yesterday to the Presidential commutation of Scooter Libby’s prison term. I understand Chris Matthews had a conniption fit on his show last night. Similar responses have been forthcoming from Democrats, en masse.
For God’s sake, give it up you dumb ass liberals! We all now know that Saddam DID, in fact, attempt to purchase yellow cake uranium in Niger. Saddam was planning to build nuclear weapons. This contrived conspiracy - "Plamegate" - was cooked up at Democratic Party HQ, decreed & funded by their #1 patron and defacto Chariman, George Soros.
While I am glad that Scooter Libby will remain out of prison, I don’t think the President went far enough. He actually said he “respected” the jury’s decision. That, I do not agree with, at all.
If I were the President, I would have said this, “I disagree with the jury’s findings, as well as the entire prosecution. The judge’s rulings were in error for allowing the case to go forward in the first place. This was a political witch hunt designed to discredit me, George W. Bush.”
Additionally, I would have said this, “Furthermore, I am ending this total miscarriage of justice right here and now. I want to publicly beg Scooter Libby’s forgiveness on behalf of the partisan political hacks who hung his ass out to dry. I am granting him a full pardon. I wish it was within my power to expunge this entire matter from his long & distinguished public service record.
Finally, I hope your microphones and recording devices are working properly: JOE WILSON, AND HIS WIFE, FORMER CIA FLOOZIE, VALERIE PLAME, ARE BALD-FACED LIARS, UTTER DISGRACES AND TRAITORS TO AMERICA! No time for any more questions.”
That’s what I would have said about the Scooter Libby matter if I were President George W. Bush!
Bravo, Patsy--you've accurately nailed many of our own thoughts on the subject. Thanks for one of the best responses to the whole sorry mess!

Can someone link to a reputable new source that will refudiate the CIA report on Plames status?
[crickets chirping...]
Patsy , dearest branch of my tree.
Did you bloom or what?
Every word a flower !
Then again , this is what is to be expected from you -wisdom , honesty and a fine use of the language.

Anonymous... The filing of the declassified CIA document by the prosecutor was released after his kangaroo court show trial was in its penalty phase. After FitzHisSterics had obtained his unjust conviction of an innocent man by means of a disingenuous reporter's testilying and the deliberations of Washington DC's finest liberal elites empaneled as his jury. Why did the prosecutor require the CIA to release this document AFTER the conviction???? Did he really need this to obtain a prison sentence, or was there something else at work here? This case stinks to high heaven. The timing of the release demonstrates how much manipulation has been going on under the radar. The subversion of our justice system for political purposes is not lawful and in the end it will come back to bite the purveyors of this plot in their duplicitous petoots.
BTW, there is no link to refute the filing, Anonymous, FitzHisSteric did file this declassfied report and the CIA did declassify it. The salient questions you should have asked were why they did it and why they waited until after the conviction to do it?
Why don't you show yourself, anon? Ashamed?
Okay, lets try this again real slow this time.
1.) Fitz did not require the CIA to release this document. The CIA and the BUSH DOJ controls those decisions.
2.) Libby was convicted of obstruction of justice and perjury. Like thousands of others are convicted every year.
3.) Yes, often in OoJ and perjury cases it is "he said, she said" testimony. In this case, the jury of Scooters peers believed that he was lying. In fact, it was so obvious that some of Libby's own witnesses were said to have done much more harm than good.
Pretty simple really.
Les, you are such a rude, condescending pompous piece of excrement. No need for you take it slow on anyone's account here but your own, you moron. It's not that we don't understand what happened, we don't F**KING agree, you imbecile. You're too damn dumb to understand that, aren't you, a**hole??
Patsy thank you for this amazing piece! You truly are a thinker!

Thank you Donal, Bobcat, Batya & Morgan for your kind words and encouragement. I don't know that it was so much thinking as it was indignation, Morgan. I am truly outraged that public servants have become targets of partisan political hacks and that our judicial system has been used as a weapon against them. It's just not right. And it can't possibly by lawful. I am confident that, in the end, Mr. Libby will be completely vindicated and his reputation restored. I suppose for it to mean anything, he must do it for himself, but I feel the President should have said more to express support for Mr. Libby. I don't think he is guilty of anything other than loyalty to the President and Vice President. He was rewarded by being abandoned by them. Not acceptable in my view. Defintely not the President's or Vice President's finest hours. Shame on them both.
How in the hell can ANYBODY obstruct justice when there is no justice proceeding going on? Fitzfong KNEW Armitage had run his mouth about Plame (and who in the world thought she was covert; you could see her car drive through the checkpoints at Langley and see her walk into the damn front door every day of her life! If that's 'covert' than they need to watch more old copies of Get Smart...!) And NOBODY was investigating HIM for it (Armitage) so just what 'justice' did Scooter supposedly 'obstruct'?
He was supposed to go to prison because him and Russert (who was paid off by WHOM?) didn't remember a meaningless conversation the same way? And the Dems actually think that was FAIR? It was such a pathetic attempt at playing 'gotcha' by the Demmies!
Come on Lers, you CAN'T be proud of that!
Bush did the right thing here, but by doing so quietly he doesn't get respect that he is attempting to foster. Being "nice" doesn't buy you any points with the Left. You might as well come out with both barrels blazing and make your base happy and cause the independents to say, "Well now, I don't know if I agree with the man, but at least he's true to what he says."
Ouch, Morgan your style betrays you!
Now was that called for, genius?
"Les, you are such a rude, condescending pompous piece of excrement. No need for you take it slow on anyone's account here but your own, you moron. It's not that we don't understand what happened, we don't F**KING agree, you imbecile. You're too damn dumb to understand that, aren't you, a**hole??"
