Re: [MLUG - DISCUSSION] [POLITICS] News Alert: Bush Commutes Libby's Prison Sentence

[Rick <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

Libby's punishment was, in no small way, retarded. I find it 
unsurprising that you condemn Libby, yet mention Clinton in the same 
post without bothering to condemn *him* for his blatant perjury.

Additionally, IIRC, Bush only commuted the prison sentence. The rest of 
the sentence stands (probation, etc...)
