Democrats are outraged, outraged, that President Bush has spared Scooter Libby from 2 1/2 years in prison. The President, yesterday, reduced Libby's sentence to probation and a hefty fine, causing apoplexy on the left and generating an outpouring of outrage not seen since terrorists were forced to wear panties on their heads.
Mr. Libby was convicted in March on charges of perjury, making false statements and obstruction of justice. Vice President Cheney's former chief of staff had told the FBI and a grand jury that he had not leaked the ..

Democrats are normally outraged or crying rivers over something or another.
Great post, Nancy!
It was funny reading Obama’s statement that “national security was compromised” by Libby.
Funny how NOBODY was convicted of that.
Outing Plame didn’t meet the legal criteria necessary for conviction.
Hence,national security was NOT compromised.
I thought we were all done with the Valerie Plame Blame Game.....
If my lib co-workers try beyotching about this I’ll give ‘em two words: Frank Rich
Two words.
Mark.
Rich.
And I’ll give you two MORE words: Sandy Burglar!
All those outraged dem’s make me want to gag!
Frank Rich is appropriate too as someone who should be in prison for fraud. He's a fraud as a journalist.
At exactly what point in her career was La Plame the equivalent of Agent 99 or the girl from U.N.C.L.E.????? She couldn’t even qualify for Honey West!
Two edged sword:
This way the prez recognizes the rule of law (rightly or wrongly expressed) and does not lift the other sanctions/penalties following an exercise that he is himself responsible for - and Libby is not made to undergo the obviously unfair jail time ordained by a biased court.
That said, I don't think GWB will be getting a Christmas card from Scooter anytime soon.
PS: the link to ‘Perpetual Outrage’ was best for its link to Stratfor - I’ve ignored them for awhile and the read was worthwhile.
oh, outraged dims, the headline made me think of outraged mooslims, getting so you cant tell the outraged w/ out a program. “whose day is it to be outraged anyway?, or just miffed?, could they be piqued, affronted, annoyed, bitter, chafed, cross, displeased, hot, huffy or just ill tempered?
may be resentful, sulky, or even provoked?
Wasn’t Libby a lawyer for Mark Rich and Fitzergerald the prosecutor in that case.
I think the case was a payback for that pardon.
“If my lib co-workers try beyotching about this I’ll give ‘em two words: Frank Rich”
Oops, forgot about that one. There are just so many...
Heard today that Bush has not ruled out a full pardon for Libby.
HAHAHAHA! What was all that funny stuff the Democrats were saying last week about the Bush Presidency being over?
