PRESIDENT BUSH COMMUTES LIBBY'S SENTENCE

John Gibson announced that President Bush will commute Scooter Libby's sentence

“My decision to commute his prison sentence leaves in place a harsh punishment for Mr. Libby,” Bush said in a statement. “The consequences of his felony conviction on his former life as a lawyer, public servant, and private citizen will be long-lasting.'’

The president’s action means that Libby’s conviction still stands and he is still required to pay the $250,000 fine ordered by a federal judge.

As you can imagine the libs are loosing it. 

"As Independence Day nears, we’re reminded that one of the principles our forefathers fought for was equal justice under the law. This commutation completely tramples on that principle,” Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., said through a spokesman.

Earth to Chuckie: ROGER CLINTON. MARC RICH. SANDY BURGLAR. CHUCK SCHUMER, even-yeah, SURE it was all his staffer's idea to violate the law and commit identity theft in order to try to dig up dirt on Michael Steele. She fell on the sword, but whose prints are on the haft, hm?

Great post, Trent. The big guy did the right thing, which (sadly) seems rare anymore, but the leftists are indeed losing it over this-and it's fun to watch!
