Bush spares Libby from jail term

[Cognescenti]

So much for free speech & democracy.

If he doesn't exhibit any signs of physical hostility, why not let him or others say their peace?

The government Just doesn't want an opposing view in the same room. A view that will expose their lies & deceptions.

Anyway, Bush wouldn't stand a chance with Olbermann or anyone else who are good at public speaking.

They'd mop the auditorium with Bush...

It's a joke guy. Lighten up. I am as much surprised by the fact that Olberman said something critical of Bush as I was by the strange phenomenon of the sun rising in the East this morning.

If Bush threw out the first pitch at the All Star game and then went on to pitch three innings in his business suit and wingtips, striking out the best hitters in the National League, Olberman would stillhave something negative to say.

MSNBC had to have special doorways installed to accomodate Olberman's head.

My problem with this is.........if it was Joe Blow from down the street that was convicted of purgery and obstruction of justice his butt would be sitting in prison!!!!!

As they should be, at least in my humble British opinion. Leaders (Bush, Clinton, whoever), shouldn't just go around overturning legal decisions (or changing them so drastically that they may as well have been overturned) because they think them harsh. No one is above the law, and no one messes around with a judge.

However, I'm saying this possessing only a knowledge of the British system. Still... the law is the law. And no one messes around with a judge. Unless the judge is corrupt or having an affair with a Brazillian lady.

I would agree with that, I dont think that the power that the president has for this issue was meant to be used as it is today. Although, we could all be talking about this for nothing since Libby is probably going to appeal his case and it could very well be overturned anyways
