Pardon Libby?
That's the talk.
(And I can see Bush going either way on this in the short term. In the long term, however, a pardon is likely inevitable. Which is a shame. Not because I want to see Libby scapegoated as the only one who did anything wrong, which is what's happening now, but because he clearly didn't act on his own. Whatever happens to Libby, wouldn't it be nice to know what Plamegate was really all about? A trial would at least be somewhat enlightening.)

It amazes me that I don't sense nearly so much outrage in the U.S. right now over this issue as one might have imagined - war is ok, Rove and Libby are somehow ok, surveillance of private citizens is ok... and the amazing media machine puppeteering the bulk of the country's consciousness somehow manages to get many a panty in a twist over same-sex marriage?? The whole concept of real "land of the free and home of the brave" starts to fall apart when this very same self-declared "moral majority" suddenly has to be moral in their own conduct, permit and respect the freedom of others, and be brave enough to say the hardest thing: mea culpa. A pardon without a trial should be intolerable, except, of course, that it feeds the machine.
Hush, hush, you're in America now...
I quit. How are things in Canada? How are you?
