"Scooter" Libby will become a conservative folk hero.
The right wing(culture of corruption) will martyr him and in five years he will have his own show on Fownews. This happened with Oliver North and G. Gordon Libby. Your average republican will just overlook any wrongdoing or flat out deny that anything criminal took place. They will chalk this up to a liberal witchhunt.

2. But here's the difference
you can't call it a political witch hunt if the guy with the rifle is non-partisan. I could not ask for a better prosecutor. No political affiliation of any kind.

3. I'm hoping that someone he meets in prison
has a relative who suffered the final consequences of being sent to Iraq, if you get my drift.

8. I get it. There are certain offenders that are at great risk in
prison, usually the kind of offender who has destroyed lives of others, some of whom are also in jail.

(Child molesters don't last a night or 2)

Maybe the Scoot will be in solitary confinement for his own protection.

7. I can see it now... "The Liddy and Libby" show!
G. Gordon sort of fits his mold... (pun intended!)

Anyone hear who Cheney might have selected to replace Libby yet?
