As could easily be predicted the dems are furious this morning over the Presidents descision to commute the 2.5 year jail sentence of Scooter Libby. Gee, Imagine that ?
One democrat this morning on CNBC compaired the Paris Hilton jail term to Scooter Libby. How much more of this oral vomit can the Americans stand ? I can smell their puke all the way here in Kentucky.
Here's my personal thoughts: Valerie Plame was about as "covert" as someone waving a flag out their apartment window with an CIA emblem blowing in the wind. She did in fact work as a covered operative under the Bruster Jennings Inc cover in Europe, however she was terminated from her posistion and brought back to work in a cubicle at Langley along with her daily Mocca Latte from the campus cafeteria at the time that her name was mentioned, or not mentioned by someone within the executive branch of the POTUS. I believe an anonymous agent was quoted in the National Review as "having been so poor with her trade craft that she was suited better at Langley than being part of the counter proliferation ops under the Bruster Jennings Inc cover"
Joe Wilson, an outspoken critic of the Presidents foreign policy and decision to invade Iraq was her husbund who for some incredibly odd reason was sent to Africa to investigate the import and or manufacture of "Yello Cake" Why was he sent and who made this decision ? Again, Valerie Plame was already not a consideration, so her husbund was chosen. Why ?
In my personal opinion there was never any "Outing" of Valerie Plame as a covert operative with the agency. The democrats, lead by Joe Wilson made this a two year investigation with congressional hearings and a heap of coverage over the MSM as some sort of major crime. Maybe it was, maybe it was not. I dont give a hoot about some lady working at Langley in a cubicle. Since when do real operatives actually get a cubicle at Langley ? I'll tell ya. When they have lost respect from their peers within the clandistine service of the agency. Just ask Bob Baer he's now written two books that are clearly out of his own anger for being drawn from the field for poor trade craft and rogue decisions. He's had an axe to grind with the agency since he was let go.
Scotter Libby is only one man that the President has commuted his sentence. I think it's a good kick in the balls to the democrats for spending the Americans tax payers dollars for yet another poke at the administration.
Whether you agree or disagree with me you have to remember that Bill Clinton pardoned 173 individuals on his LAST OFFICIAL DAY as President. He pardoned Bill Rich, a billionaire who fled the country to avoid being prosecuted for major tax evasion charges. By the way, his wife was suspected as another of Bill Clintons "side strokes" If Hillary wants to raise taxes, then let her collect the back owed taxes from Bill Rich, who her husbund pardoned on his last hour of service in the Oval Office. Hillary has already voiced her disgust with the commutation of Scooter Libby. Did she forget the 173 individuals that her husbund pardoned ? I'd like to know what crimes each and every one of those 173 had been charged with.
I suggest that President Bush just pardone him altogether. That's another good kick in the nuts for the democrats.
