He's already moved on to his cushy AEI job and he got to see the leaves turn in Aspen this year. Libby knows that his name is on Santa Bush's naughty list for December of 2008.

The thing to look for is just before leaving office how many of those at the top levels during the entire time of this Administration. I believe Libby will be among them, along with Cabinet members, and heads of other agencies. #61: The list seems pretty lame as to the folks pardoned, some were not even sentenced to jail time, only fined, were placed on parole.

Comment by CaptainMantastic — December 11, 2007 @ 7:41 pm Pres. Bush is not stupid (despite how much he seems to be), but he is lacking in moral character. The Libby Pardon will come sometime after Nov. 4th 2008. That's when it won't matter to the GOP how much Pres. Bush continues to screw them.

A pardon is not such a big deal to most of us for those that have served their time, what is really a BIG TIME DEAL is the commuting of the sentence for Libby, who did not serve a day in prison, for what many consider Treason.

Does anyone see what I'm missing ? Basically, the list doesn't, on the face of it, appear to be folks who would be likely to have high WH connections. Compared to the Ken Lays and Abramovs, they seem to be pretty small time. Is Shrub saving a list for December 2008 for all the folks who have fallen on their sword for him ? Or does he lack the gratitude to do that ? I read the list of the pardoned people in the linked story and I don’t get it. Does anyone see what I’m missing ?
