Scooter Libby’s Crime

July 5th, 2007 · No Comments

Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. said President Bush should be impeached for “crimes against the Constitution of the United States” for commuting the prison sentence of Scooter Libby. What a moron.

“President Bush’s commutation of a pal’s prison sentence counts as a most shocking act of disrespect for the U.S. justice system,” said the Seattle Post-Intelligencer in an editorial. What a joke.

Her Majesty, Comrade Hillary Clinton, said “this commutation sends the clear signal that in this administration, cronyism and ideology trump competence and justice.” Boy, there’s the pot calling the kettle black.

So it’s very refreshing to hear the following from Jack Kelly at RealClearPolitics.com:

“Scooter” Libby will serve as much time in prison for lying under oath to a federal grand jury as Bill Clinton served for lying under oath to a federal grand jury.

That was pure genius. I wonder how many in the mainstream media will pick up on this jewel and report it.
