Scooter knows the game and must and will take the hit like a good soldier. I doubt he will blow the whistle and most likely will be pardoned before Bush leaves office. Like a good CIA agent he will keep his mouth shut .  Greentrader

Please read Lawrence O’Donnell’s transcripton Keith Olbermann’s show the other night. He tore everyone of those evil cowards who wrote letters demanding leniency for Libby “a new one”. The video is on “Crooks and Liars”. Powerful stuff!

If Bush and Cheney were to show as much concern for the millions of poor people in the United States and the billions of poor people around the world as they do for Scooter Libby, there’d be no more poverty.

Yayyyyyyy! Justice wins again against the chronically corrupt Republicans. Let us hope the BBC speculation of a Bush pardon is wrong.  Anybody care to list how many Bush people left their office in Washington because of some scandal or another? Lex talionis for good ole Bill.

Tragedy?  The tragedy is that nearly 3500 American troops have lost their lives thanks to being lied into a criminal war in Iraq, an action that was aided and abetted by draft dodging cowardly neocons like Irving Libby and Wolfowitz.  I only hope that Bush, Cheney and Rove will soon be joining Libby.  I am also appalled the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Peter Pace submitted a letter asking for clemency for Libby.  Pace should resign, having disgraced his office by sticking his nose up Bush’s ass.

I still say Libby is/was/has been resigned to this long ago. I’m sure that he and Dick have discussed this, and agreed on a plan. The Federal Penn isn’t all that bad in the penthouse suites, where they usually put the White Collar Criminals and/or the Mob in some cases back in the day.

If Libby was gonna talk, he would have already done it. They know he won’t. The Mob is like that. Loyal to the end. And, that’s what this is. Libby will probably do some time, but we won’t get to see him handcuffed and carted off, (which really wouldn’t be all that satisfying for me anyway, because we know it should be cheney first, and Scooter doesn’t have that evil aura about him, so there isn’t as much satisfaction in seeing him treated like the common criminal that he now is)

Meantime, he’ll have a little bit of a break from all the stress. He can kick back and play chess or whatever with the other WCC’s, he’s bound to know some of the other residents from the hill, and hell...he might even writea book. He’ll have the best of medical care, 3 squares a day, no stress. And then, after a while, he’ll be quitely released, and eventually move to the South Pacific and live happily ever after.

Thanks, Humble, for your comments.

Perhaps we’ll meet in other forums to expand further on our notions of the characteristics of hypocrites of all stripes. We’d better leave it for now as we’re getting a little close to being off topic.

Rae,

First, let me thank you for responding to me in a polite, respectful manner.  You are the only person to do so on Truthdig, and I will respond in kind.  You are right that we all have this human fraility known as hypocrisy.  Seven years ago I would have disagreed with you that this type of hypocrisy was as blatant on the right.  However, I do not think that way now.

I point out the hypocrisy of the left because it is sooooooo much fun--I just can’t help myself.  They (gross generalization, yet very accurate) are so easy to play.  They are so arrogrant and egotistical, who think they are so much smarter than anyone who disagrees with them.  I’m like the person that goes to the zoo and torments the monkeys to just get them freaking out, throwing feces at each other.  All the time, I’m ROTFLMAO.  They are so predictable.

They use the same tactics that the Republicans used against Clinton.  Yet, in their biasedness, they cannot see that the Republicans and Democrats have switched roles.  So when discussing issues, I like to take liberals back to the days where the roles were reversed and how Democratic leadership responded...thus the hypocrisy.

I could easily do this with conservatives.  It’s just that abusing liberals is so much more fun.  I don’t find the same arrogance with conservatives, so I don’t get the same response.

There you have it...the cat’s out of the bag.  I’m not a conservative.  I’m not a Republican.  I’ve never supported W.  Yet, I think liberalism is a failed ideology.

As always,
Your Humble Servant

Libby may very well receive a Bush pardon prior to serving one day. He might have to serve until the last day of the Bush Presidency when George will certainly pardon him on the way out. Serve two and half years? Never.

There is no possible way that Scooter will spend time in the slammer because he knows too much.  And a lot than just the Valerie Plame stuff.  He was in on the fabrication of the justification of the Iraq war and he knows who told the lies and where the lies were first written up.  His footprints were present in every step and if the administration even suspects that he might have an attack of conscience, his body will mysteriously appear in a Florida swamp with a cinder block strapped to his leg.

My trouble with your posting, Humble, is not that your posting is far-fetched but that it charges one “brand” of political human with frailties that can be found in ALL brands of humans. I consider myself “liberal” although I’m not too sure why anymore. The closer I look the less difference I find between ANY stripe of political party.

It seems we ALL are capable of the hypocrisies you note. Claiming one group is MORE or LESS hypocritical on any given issue is wide open to endless and futile debate.

Those people on the right wing want Libby pardoned.  They are soft on treason.  Besides, Libby knows too much.

nogodude, I had to laugh out loud on the “splain’” part. When you hear (or in this case read) such a linguistic, it’s an automatic clue that you’re probably gonna be talking to a moron.

That’s why I think Mike Mid-City suggested that you ignore him. Other’s have tried to help. It’s on him now.

Meantime, Mr. Libby should begin serving his time today, and it’s really just a minor door prize for all Americans, that it’s just Libby, and not his boss. He’s gonna do the time for Cheney. And, for that reason, I don’t believe that georgie is gonna do anything about a pardon right now. Maybe right before he leaves, but not now.

Meantime, the rest of us need to concentrate on the source of the disease....Cheney and his invisible crew. When THEY are behind bars, (and pay back all of our money) the world will be a better place. Might take a while, but it’s the first step.

’Splain this to me.
When Bill Clinton was charged with the same crime, the liberals said it was no big deal--lying under oath was not that important.  Now when it is Scotter’s turn, liberals are going nuts over this.

OK I’ll try to “splain”

Liberals didn’t say it was ok to lie under oath. I think the issue was, is it really in the best interest of the country to spend tax dollars and time to investigate a crime that no one really cared about except for Hillary and the rest of the Jerry Springer watchers. (And the Republicans of course) I think we all learned a lesson about lying under oath thanks to Bill. Except for the clowns in the white house. The difference is that “Scooter” lied to cover his boss at the white house who took us to war under false pretences which resulted in… Well you know this already. Why an I wasting my time trying to explain something you obviously don’t want to understand.

RAE,

You analysis is somewhat correct.  The issue is not that we are all at time hypocrites, and I am just focusing on the liberal hypocrisy.  It is much deeper than that.

Liberals claim that they embrace diversity that they are open-minded, and they are compassionate.  I assert that this is not true, and that the average liberal is just the opposite.  They are bigoted, racist, closed-minded, and hateful.  They claim the former, but in reality, they are just the opposite.

Please read my post after my reception, where I clearly documenttheir hatred for anyone different:
http://liberal-hypocrisy.com/blog/2007/06/04/true-libe ralism-at-truthdig/

Because I did not spew the party line, I was viciously attacked.  This proves my point, and the reason for my blog.

As always,
Your Humble Servant

Bill Clinton was luckier than “Scotter” Libby.

Was it four counts of perjury, or was it six? A far cry from a married man lying about an affair, and Libby’s lies certainly threatened our constitutional protections while Bill’s harmed who exactly?

I had great hopes that Libby would get a sentence that would force him to speak up and name his former boss as co-conspirator in exchange for a lighter sentence, but it doesnt look like its gonna happen.

Oh and am I the only one who feels pity for that ass Humble Servant?

Scooter deserves no less and much more. He obstructed the investigation of a “treasonous” offense. It matters not that he did it at the biding of the ruling elites. Stooges get sentences....his is way to light in my opinion.

“The main premise at my blog, http://www.liberal-hypocrisy.com, is that liberals are hypocrites.”

Likely true!

The same applies, of course, to all NON-liberals. Most people, and therefore parties made up of people, are hypocrites to some degree.

It is a matter of degree with almost everything, isn’t it? I mean, stealing a few paperclips or a pencil from the office isn’t exactly a felony, but it’s still stealing! Who hasn’t done it? All those who’ve committed a similar “crime” and who deny it, are HYPOCRITES, to say nothing about being LIARS.

I guess that’s just about everyone I know.

What do you call someone, say, Humble Servant, who, being a person is likely to also be a hypocrite, but who goes to great lengths to point fingers at others for being hypocrites?

Right… a HYPOCRITE!

Cheney should be doing the time but Scooter is fine. He is the appropriate symbol for this failed administration - the gang that couldn’t shoot straight -ideologues who placed politics above country, incompetence above competence. A sad chapter in the history of this great country will conclude in about 18 months. Unless the Democrats find another way to blow an election, the next chapter should be a lot brighter for most Americans and the rest of the world.
