You actually called the President of the United States a Prick?? You should be ashamed of yourself, however I doubt that’s possible.

If FR had any dignity you would be banned.

Pray for W and Our Troops

it’s not enough. Scooter still has a criminal record and has to pay the fine and stay on probation. He should pardon him and give him his old job back.

Watch President Bush's ratings go up and Congress continue to go down.

When the appeals process goes through, I have a hunch the same thing that happened to Nifong, might just happen to Fitzfong!!!!

This is for his defense fund, I am sure that it can go to his fine as well.

Damn! You people are FAST!

It’s ABOUT DAMN TIME Bush did this... I was honestly starting to think W’s gonads were in Hillary’s lock box.

This will help with base... and, drive the Lib IMPEACH W crowd into over-drive! :-)

Another good day!

Why? Libby is a millionaire! Why would any regular person contribute to his fund?

It appears that Libby will not have to serve jail time, but he will still have to pay the $250,000 fine and be on probation for two years. Not a total pardon.

I was hoping the president would give Libby a "respite of sentence." (Not sure if that's the correct term.)

As I understood it, the effect of a "respite of sentence" would be that Libby could stay out of jail until his appeals process was finished (and I hope his conviction reversed).

Seemed to me the most "conservative" thing for Bush to do -- to give Libby a chance to be fully exonerated.

So I'll be surprised if the announcement is something that goes farther than that ... but I'm prepared to be surprised.

“Just heard! Libby will not be going to prison. He will get commuted and be on probation for 2 years and pay a fine.”

I can’t think of any reason why Libby’s punishment should have exceeded Sandy Berger’s.
