Libby: Appeal Not Appealing

Lewis "Scooter" Libby has decided not to appeal his conviction on perjury and obstruction of justice in the Assministration's outing of CIA official Valerie Plame in retaliation for her husband's whistleblowing on the phony story about Iraq seeking uranium yellow cake. Of course, Preznit Chimpy, an unindicted co-conspirator, commuted Scooter's sentence last July. This means that the original felony conviction stands for the record, and Scooter gets to move on to a cushy position with a wingnut think tank or lobbying firm. Loyalty to the Bushits pays!
