Yeah. He Took Care of Him, Alright

Some days, actually a lot of days lately, it's just hard to be a Republican.

Monday was one of those days. That was the day President Bush commuted Lewis Libby's sentence.

In 2003 Bush said this,

"If there is a leak out of my administration, I want to know who it is. And if the person has violated law, the person will be taken care of."

Was it guilt on Bush's part? I mean...he cites Libby's service and says the former White House aide suffered enough. He's got a bad rep now. No street cred. And the sentence imposted was "too excessive."

Bush acknowledges that Libby done wrong. The dude lied to investigators. He wasn't even the one that leaked the Mrs. Plame's identity. But he lied and lied and lied.

To protect who? Our dear leader? (shaded reference to another famous guy intended)
