LIBBY SENTENCE "CUMMUTED" BY THE LIAR IN CHEIF
The Birds of a feather flock together
"The crooks start protecting their
own"
President Bush today commuted Scooter Libby's 30-year sentence for perjury and obstruction of justice:
NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, pursuant to my powers under Article II, Section
2, of the Constitution, do hereby commute the prison terms imposed by the sentence upon the said Lewis Libby to expire immediately,
leaving intact and in effect the two-year term of supervised release, with all its conditions, and all other components of
the sentence.
Bush gave a statement elaborating on his reasoning:
Mr. Libby was sentenced to thirty months of prison, two years of probation, and a $250,000 fine. In making the sentencing
decision, the district court rejected the advice of the probation office, which recommended a lesser sentence and the consideration
of factors that could have led to a sentence of home confinement or probation.
I respect the jury's verdict. But I have concluded that the prison sentence given to Mr. Libby is excessive.
Therefore, I am commuting the portion of Mr. Libby's sentence that required him to spend thirty months in prison.
My decision to commute his prison sentence leaves in place a harsh punishment for Mr. Libby. The reputation he gained
through his years of public service and professional work in the legal community is forever damaged. His wife and young
children have also suffered immensely. He will remain on probation. The significant fines imposed by the judge
will remain in effect. The consequences of his felony conviction on his former life as a lawyer, public servant, and private
citizen will be long-lasting.

Under the agreement, Cunningham acknowledged a conspiracy to commit bribery, mail and wire fraud and tax evasion. He also
pleaded guilty to a separate tax evasion violation for failing to disclose income in 2004.
Prosecutors said Cunningham had taken bribes from contractors, which enabled him to buy a mansion, a suburban Washington
condominium, a yacht and a Rolls Royce. A government statement said Cunningham received at least $2.4 million in bribes and
will forfeit his $2.5 million mansion and about $1.8 million in cash, antiques, furnishings and other valuables. The charges
carry a potential penalty of 10 years in prison and up to $350,000 in fines. Sentencing is scheduled for February 27.

Republicans Under the Eye 3-
07- 2007
.
Congressional
Republicans
by Charley Reese
Congressional Republicans, the pundits say, are running against fascism, which,
of course, doesn't exist in today's world. That's OK. The same buffoons are waging a war against terrorism, which they can't
even define.
My fondest hope for this political season is that every Republican senator and
representative up for re-election is defeated. It's not that the Democrats are any great prize, but they are marginally more
intellectually honest than the Republicans.
Most Democrats are leftists and socialists, and most of their rhetoric reflects
that, as do the issues they support. Most Republicans, however, are big fat hypocrites who campaign as conservatives when
in fact, judged by their actions and their votes, they are no more conservative than Pol Pot or Karl Marx.
A true conservative would balance the budget, would vote against all foreign aid
and would practice an isolationist foreign policy. A true conservative would make sure corporations pay their fair share of
taxes, would cut out all subsidies to big business and would take whatever steps were necessary to stop the shipping of manufacturing
jobs overseas and the import of vast numbers of illegal aliens, who are a source of cheap labor.
Most of these windbags in both parties have only two skills: conning voters and
raising money from lobbyists. Most of them couldn't manage a small law firm or even run a successful hot-dog stand. As for
foreign affairs, most of them don't have a clue as to what's going on outside their own country club and favorite fancy restaurants.
They are mental and moral midgets.
Most of them neither speak nor read a foreign language. If they have traveled
overseas it's usually on those paid-for VIP tours arranged by special-interest groups. They don't read, most of them. In fact,
aside from raising their own already bloated pay, they spend the majority of their time raising money for their next campaign.
Very few of them have ever served in the armed forces.
There are a handful of good men and women in both parties, but if in doubt, always
vote against the incumbent. If you judge contemporary politicians by their record, it's abysmal. Congressional hearings have
become largely a farce, where panel members make speeches rather than ask intelligent questions. They usually don't start
work until Tuesday and are out of there by Thursday afternoon or Friday. They have more holidays than Santa Claus. Therefore,
it's no surprise that they never, ever get their work done on time.
We are a nation of 300 million people. It's shameful that these 535 nabobs are
the best we can do to run the government. Actually, they don't run it. Special interests and the corporate elite run it. Congress
has allowed both the judiciary and the executive branch to usurp most of its authority. Can you imagine a member of the executive
branch telling a senator or representative that he or she can't see something because it's classified? Congress and the executive
branch are coequal. Under our Constitution, the president is not a higher office than that of a senator or a representative.
And all of them, Americans must never forget, are just the temporary hired help.
They are not our lords and masters. They are hired help who are supposed to work within the strict limits set by the Constitution.
Under our system, sovereignty rests with the people, not with the government. It's too bad Americans have allowed government
to encroach on their freedoms to the point that, according to some polls, some Americans are actually afraid of their own
government.
Ah, if only the American people would dump 200 or 300 incumbents, which would
send a 50-megaton political shock wave to Washington that would rattle the Washington Monument. You'd see a sudden and big
change in the attitude of the surviving politicians.
These politicians
don't respect you. They think you are dumb (after all, you keep voting for them). Well, if they won't respect you, then the
next best thing is for them to fear you, and the way to do that is to demonstrate their jobs are in perpetual jeopardy. Election
Day can be a revolution if the American people choose to make it one.
