Much like the recent Delay brouhaha about nothing, the Dems got their mileage out of this story. She'll be a saint to the Dems for spending two months in the joint for them.
They considered her too friendly to the administration.
Like Susan McDougal, who came out a hero after admitting that she spent two years in jail because if she went before the Grand Jury she would have to lie.
Of course, she blamed having to lie on the prosecuter, as if he could put words in her mouth, but to her supporters that makes perfect sense. They are used to lying when told to.
