FREE SCOOTER

Call me a nut, but I actually want Bush to pardon Scooter Libby. Just not for the reasons you may think.
Consider this for a moment. In the political pond, Scooter was a medium sized fish, a crappie if you will. Not something that you necessarily want mounted on your wall, but still some mighty fine eating. However, wouldn't you be willing to let that crappie go so you could catch the lunker large-mouthed bass hiding under the dock? Hell yes you would. This is no different. (Hey PETA, bite me, I don't give you shit for being a carrot cruncher.)
You see, there is still a civil suit pending and by taking a pardon, Libby could be compelled to testify. No longer would he be able to hide behind his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. Either he would have to come clean, or commit perjury again, hence we get to Cheney and Rove, or he wastes the pardon and goes to jail. While it might be expensive to retry a convicted felon, after approximately $70 million spent on a blow job, I would consider this to be a wise expenditure on the government's part.
In addition to the civil suit, a pardon would force Shrub to comment publically as to why Rove and Cheney are still members of his administration. After all, he did tell us that if anyone in his administration were involved in leaking the Valerie Wilson's name, they would no longer be a member and we would finally get to know if Cheney's right hand is really covered with Shrub shit or not. With no legal action pending apart from the Wilson suit, Tony Snowjob will need a "Hefty" sized colostomy bag to hold all of the shit he would need to pull at a moments notice trying not to answer the question.
The best that Bush could hope for is that Libby's legal woes carry on for the next two years so he doesn't have to admit publically that he and his cronies fixed the intelligence to fit the policy and start an illegal war. 80% of this country now feels the invasion of Iraq was wrong, but there is still that 20% that believe that the village idiot did the right thing. A public admission would be the death knell of the neo-conservative ideology and he knows it.
Bush now faces a dilemma of monumental proportions. He and the Republic Party are swiftly losing their base because of arrogance and ineptitude, and Bush must do something in which to keep that base within the fold. Congressionally there is very little he can do because the Democrats have their own agenda. A new military action would only get him impeached because there would be NO congressional approval whatsoever. So that only leaves him one option to satisfy the Geico commercial rejects that make up the Republican base, pardoning Scooter Libby.
So I say, FREE SCOOTER, it'll be good for the country.
P.S.Did you hear that Eva Brauny called John Edwards a faggot? The infected testicle threw out the F- bomb at the annual Klan rally known as the CPAC conference and all of the Republican presidential candidates are suddenly trying to distance themselves from him. What in the fuck did the expect from someone who considers his steak well-done when it loses its urge to hump his leg, show tunes?
