Scooter Libby
From RationalWiki
I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby was formerly Dick "Dick" Cheney's chief of staff. He is currently under conviction for perjury and obstruction of justice in The Valerie Plame Affair. The scoundrel was sentenced on June 5, 2007 to thirty months in prison and fined $250,000.
However, Scooter Libby, a fine honest American hero and patriot, who was "doing a great job", is likely to be pardoned by the president just before he leaves office. This will end a long national nightmare and set the stage for high moral standards once again in the White House. Bush has already commuted Libby's prison sentence, although not the guilty verdict.
Some left wing nutjobs theorize that Libby was acting in concert with Dick Cheney' George W. Bush and Karl Rove when he leaked Ms. Plame's identity to a reporter and/or perjured himself.
Some right wing nutjobs think that his "perjury" was an act of supreme patriotism - falling on his sword because of his loyalty to his superiors, in a cause both just and true.
Unsurprisingly, his act of patriotic perjury has now been rewarded by President Bush. Bush apparently felt that any guy with the name "Scooter" has probably suffered enough in prison.
