Bush Stabs Justice In The Back

Bush has absolutely ZERO credibility left now. He has, once again, proved to be a national disgrace and the worst president ever:

President commutes Libby's sentence

Calls 30-month term for ex-Cheney aide 'excessive'

KENNEBUNKPORT, Maine -- President Bush, calling the prison sentence for Lewis "Scooter" Libby "harsh" and "excessive," on Monday commuted the 30-month term that had been handed to the former chief of staff for Vice President Dick Cheney.

[...]Libby was convicted of obstruction of justice and lying to a federal grand jury in special counsel Patrick Fitzgerald's investigation of the leak of a CIA operative's identity. Libby had spoken with reporters about Valerie Plame, the CIA operative whose husband, Joseph Wilson, accused the Bush administration of manipulating intelligence in the run-up to the 2003 U.S.-led invasion of Iraq. Libby was convicted of making conflicting statements to the federal prosecutors and the grand jury investigating the leak.

I can only hope Bush lives long enough to regret this and every other horrific mistake of his failed presidency, but I doubt that, even if he lives a thousand years, Bush will ever understand the evil and damage he has caused our nation and our world. He lacks the mental capacity.
