Although the president said he “respected” the jury’s verdict, [HA!] he added that he had “concluded that the prison sentence given to Mr. Libby is excessive.”

Based on what? On the idea that holding anyone in this administration responsible is “excessive”?

The president left intact a $250,000 fine and two years probation …Bush said his action still “leaves in place a harsh punishment for Mr. Libby.”
“It’s a great relief,” said former Ambassador Richard Carlson, who helped raise millions for Libby’s defense fund.

So, yeah, coming up with $250k is really going to be difficult for him. That is harsh.

Grrrrrrr.

How much do you want to bet Scooter’s next “speaking engagement” for his neocon buddies is going to pay around $250k.

So, libby promises not to snitch out bush/cheney, assuming they pay his defense costs, and they do not let him go to jail. Of course, what is not spent on his lawyers, goes to him - is that just another way to make the payoff, since all that money comes from the bast_rds who are riding the free money from the Treasury for Iraq? Could the Mafia do any more?
