Thank you, President Bush...

Thank you, President bush for commuting Scooter Libby's sentence. Much good will come from this and I don't just mean because he's been used successfully, to date, to protect Karl Rove and Vice President Dick Cheney. Read on.

You've shown the American people that you're willing to make the tough decisions that show that you will protect your own, no matter what they do.

You've shown the American people that despite your claims that you are listening to us, you can ignore the fact that 69% of Americans know that perjury is a crime and that without the truth in our judicial system, the whole process becomes meaningless.

You've shown the American people that truth in the White House is pretty unimportant when compared to achieving your agenda.

You've shown the American people that, once again, you believe that it is only your critics who are liars.

You've shown the American people that "excessive" sentences are for those who are not privileged.

You've shown the American people that when your polls numbers are at rock bottom, you've not got a whole lot more to lose: a fact which should make losers all over the country feel a little better about themselves.

I happily watch Scooter Libby live as a free man, because he was yet another vehicle that gave you the opportunity to show what a duplicitous, corrupt and disingenuous liar you really are.
