OK, so it wasn't the pardon we had the premonition about earlier today (see below). But we had a feeling something might happen, and sure enough, the Decider, stalwart upholder of the Constitution and laws of the land, has commuted the jail sentence of Lewis "Scooter" Libby.
The effect of this, coming at a critical time when "Scooter's" lawyers would presumably be looking to deal with the prosecution to reduce the sentence in exchange for telling what he knew about the Preznit's and Dead Eye Dick's involvement, is to continue the pattern of obstruction of justice that "Scooter" was convicted of in his trial. Well done, Mr. Preznit! We know Dead Eye Dick is proud of you!!
