The usual crybaby anti-Americans are complaining about Scooter Libby’s well-deserved escape from an impending prison sentence. As fine people such as Christopher Hitchens and Henry Kissinger have noted, L. Irve “Scooter” Libby didn’t do anything but launch a coordinated White House media attack on an American CIA agent as revenge on her diplomat husband who was sent by the CIA to Africa in 2002 to confirm that Iraq had bought weapons-grade uranium from Nigeria so that the White House could start its Iraq War. But he didn’t find any such thing. MORE »

Bush finally manned up and did the right thing — kinda sorta didn’t-really-pardon Scooter Libby. MORE »

The U.S. Court of Appeals in D.C. unanimously rejected Scooter Libby’s plea for bail instead of jail, and that means Al Qaeda’s Dick Cheney’s No. 2 man is off to prison unless Bush pardons the beloved neocon bureaucrat. MORE »

Eyewitness report sent by a high-ranking Wonkette Operative this morning:

I am at DC Superior Court and Bob Novak is on the same jury pool I am. He just got called into Judge Mott’s courtroom (301).

And then, the shocking update:

Novak just got empaneled. I was excused, case is Aggravated Assault & Attempted Robbery. Oh the irony that he is on a jury on the same day that Libby is sentenced.

And oh the justice if it was Novak being tried! MORE »

Scooter Libby is going to jail for 2-and-a-half years and getting fined $250,000. As Wonkette’s prediction was closest without going over, we will take home a lovely dinette set. MORE »
