It is all LIbby will get for now, in part, because it is probably all LIbby wants for now. Bush slapped the judge in his statement, and if LIbby loses on appeal, I would bet he gets a pardon either by Bush before he leaves office, or by Fred when he gets in.
If Fred Thompson gets elected it would be highly unusual to pardon as soon as he is elected. The normal pattern is to do the pardons as they leave office.
Hehe. You ARE a positive thinker.
Now don't that have a nice ring...
