Will W pardon Scooter? Should he?

Weigh in, test your prognostigative skills.

I believe he will, and I don't think he'll wait until after the 2008 election.

I don't think he gives a flying Ph*ck about his fellow Republicans AND I think Libby knows where all the bodies are burried, plus Dick Chenney is his pal.

On the 'should he' question, I'd say no. Not that I don't think Libby is the fall guy, not that I don't think the administration is rife with folks just as guilty of lots of things as he is. I do think that. True justice would land Scooter a lot of company in jail. But none of that changes the fact he's guilty. And I don't buy for a second that he outed, purged and obstructed in the 'service of his country'. He did it to further and protect the power of a small group of ugly people, a group he belonged to.

Is it fair if he's the only one who gets punished? Not at all. But letting him off wouldn't make it fair. Only filling cells with his hoorid little frat buddies would do that.
