Scooter Libby, who as I'm sure you know was the top aide to Vice President Dick Cheney prior to being indicted for perjury, obstruction, and a multitude of other things, must go to prison while waiting for the appeal process to play out.
This is an excellent thing, because if I perjured myself, obstructed justice, and the other things with which he is charged, I would certaintly be in jail at this point.
This just serves to remind us that politicians are not above the law, no matter how much the current ruling party would like us to believe that they are. If Bush pardons Libby, the backlash on the Republican party is certain to cost them the 2008 election. However, Bush is so dumb that he will probably not realize that, pardon him, and the Democrats (no matter whom they put forth) will win in 2008. It already happened in 2006 mid-terms, let's make it happen again next year.
