DISCUSSION
Scooter Libby [or whoever he was covering up for, wink wink] committed a treasonous act that contributed to the death of thousands of people. He got off with no jail time, but is still guilty of a felony, still has to deal with 2 years probation, and pay a $250K fine.
He'll get a cushy presidential appointment on Bushes last week in office. He'll bargain that to get a position as a lobbyist and make millions. All for taking the fall for his boss.
Its good to know the king.
