The time is now for impechment. This man thinks he and his friends are above the law. It is time to end the Imperial Presidentcy.
Bush's decision to block Libby's prison sentence for lying and
obstructing justice was corrupt.
So, Bush thinks it is OK to compromise an intelligence gathering mission by exposing the operative and trying to get her killed, simply because she is married to someone who writes press reports he does not like. I guess this show why this administration had no real intelligence on IRAQ before getting 4000 Americans killed there for nothing. Also, this indicates no respect for the press, the constitution, or the principles this country was built upon.

Just like Daddy and Casper Weinberger, King George II keeps a treasonous felon from prison. Welcome to the Jungle. America is no more.
Libby is now marked with being a team player. In other words, he will be the cream of the crop choice for conservative think tanks. His job potential just increased dramatically. And of course, he will be invited to shoot bird with Cheney, Scalia and the rest of the good old boy network. Libby probably has obtained the stature of an icon in the network of Washington. Invited to all the parties, on speaker lists for sure, council to any conservative operation, back room contracts for sweetheart deals. That is not 'harsh punishment'. Libby has it made in every sense of the word. The $250,000 fine? Big deal. One check from a patron will buy Libby out of that easy.
Yes Jack... You're so right. The time is now. At the end of his second term. You're a bandwagon idiot.
I believe its time for congress and the citizens to get after these fecal stained cowards who have been getting our children killed for too long a time. Who's country is it anyway. What was it the populous did to corrupt and deadly kings, they shamed him verbally, publicly, leaving the king to go into exile.
In our stripped down democracy our elected representatives, (whether they were elected legally or otherwise is a good question but thats another arrow into the chest of this country which we must sleep past for this moment), have the power to impeach, but do our representative, i.e. we/we have the guts to get nose to nose.
I doubt we do.
Just like Clinton's lying. He did not go to prison either.
The Bush crime syndicate racks up another win. Doesn't anyone know how to dethrone the little Emperor?
NO ONE WAS PUT IN JEPOARDY! NO ONE WAS WORKING UNDERCOVBER OR HAD IN A LONG TIME!! SCOOTER DID NOT DESERVE TO GO TO JAil!!! LONG LIVE KING GEORGE!!!!
I can hear them now....Clinton didn't serve time for lying about having consentual sex. Yes, exposing a CIA operative and her network - who were engaged in hunting down WMDs on the black market - is just like 'getting a little' on the side.
How low the conservatives have fallen....and they are dragging America down with them.
No one was placed in jepoardy, the parties involved had not worked undercover for a long tim!! Scooter did not deserve to go to jail. George Bush did the right thing. Long live King George!!
Many lives have been jeopardized because this White House - including the felon 'Scooter' Libby - exposed a CIA operative and her team. But alas, only those who ask for FACTS, not fiction, would know that.
You are all fools. How can you think that this is right or fair?
I was pleased to hear that President Bush commuted the sentence of 2 1/2 years in jail for Scooter Libby.
This was an outrageous political show trial which made it clear why Special Prosecutors need to be controlled and supervised. The principles under which the Special Prosecutor Fitzgerald was able to extend and expand his prosecution beyond his assignment, and go fishing around to entrap Scooter Libby are totally un-American and unfair. And, then to insist that Libby was to go to jail during the appeals process shows that hate and revenge was the motive, not a fair trial, or a fair verdict.
Tell me, why should Mr. Fitzgerald not get the same treatment than North Carolina prosecutor Nifong? They were both totally dishonest. I wish President Bush would also dismiss Fitzgerald before he does more mischief to our judicial system.
so the dem are complaning about rule of law. last week they were letting 23 million rule of law breakers run . im dont like bush but im not impressed with the dem thinking there all right and without sin. we have a problem in case you havent noticed with both sides here . with a goverment both sides show arrogance aganst the american people just listen to how they talk to you mrs clinton sounds like shes talking to a bunch of 2 year olds in fact most dems speak that way if you want to follow like sheep be my guest im not a pary to it any longer bush is on his way i think evey one that runs for office should have a price tag. this is how much its going to cost over there life time in office
Here is a man who signed how many death-warrants during his tenure as governor of Texas?? How many commutations did he issue back then?? Now that a political-insider is sentenced to jail, Mr. Bush is overcome with the sense that perhaps the punishment does not fit the crime.
Impeach this JACKASS he has ruiend this Country.
Scoot never had anything to do with Plame. Even the prosecutor said so and could not make a case. Instead, he trumped up charges and got a conviction.
Perhaps Liberals can get susan Saranden to show up on his behalf, like she did for Tookie?
How come no one ever asks why Armitige DID out her???
as far as the our children getting killed they are not childern thats what i exect any programed sheep to say they are fighting for you. to keep you safe and you insult them by calling them childern. you are saying they are mind less they are keeping the enemy over there so you dont have to be blown up by a road side bomb when you feed you face at burger king .read the news lately car bombs in the uk are security isnt even close to being ready for car and road side bombs get ready because after we surrender they will follow. unlike you they dont give up
Yeah, Clinton's lies were very hurtful, damaging in fact, thousands laughed and thousands cringed, but none bled.
