It's Good to be King

Well, surprise surprise President Bush commuted Scotter Libby's sentence. It is not a pardon so he is still guilty. I asume that this is Pres. Bush's attempt to satisfy both sides. This logic makes no sense. I could see if he had served some of his jail time. What if we reversed this logic if you pardoned a man before he went to jail, but he still had to serves his time. Don't get me wrong if the position were reveresed I would love a commuted sentence, but I thought we lived in a country were justice was blind but I guess every now and then she peaks under that blind fold just to make sure it isn't one of the President's buddies. Honestly who didn't see this coming. I am not going to pretend that Pres. Bush is the only President to do this, but that doesn't make it anymore right. What is wrong with the president going over the sentences of the average man and finding one where he evidence was sketchy or where they were obviously innocent,and pardoning them or commuting their sentence. I guess you would need a President more in touch with the people. President Bush's administration seems to be out of his hands I doubt that this decison was completely his. Why, of all people should Scooter Libby get a "get out of jail free card"? This is a complete miscarrige of Justice. I am more than a litte bothered by this. Which is strange since I saw it coming maybe a part of me just hoped for more. So a friend of yours leaks the name of a U.S. undercover agent then lie about it and you can get them off. I guess it is good to be king.
