Bush, do you have *any* regard for the legal system?
Because seriously.
First, there was the absolutely reprehensible thing that he did - naming a CIA agent just to get back at her husband who'd pointed out that the Iraq war was a clusterfuck. The fact that his pettiness almost certainly endangered lives, operations, whole slews of stuff... And then he *lied* about doing it. Bush, you know that oft-times perjury is one of the things that is actually come down on harder by judges and juries than almost anything? And that :
Hours before President Bush's announcement, an appeals court had told Libby he could no longer delay going to jail.
The judge ruled that Libby could not remain free on bail while his lawyer appealed against the sentence.
Fines and damage to reputation? NOT THE SAME THING.
