"Scooter" scoots

President Bush: "I respect the jury's verdict, but I have concluded that the prison sentence given Mr. Libby is excessive. Therefore, I am communting the portion of Mr. Libby's sentence that required him to spend thirty months in prison." Left intact were a $250,000 fine and two-year probation.

Senator Chuck Shumer (D-NY) and other liberal Democrats nationwide are outraged. The Democratic Party (whose new motto is "We've got what it takes to take what you've got") are those people who gave us the welfare state and encouraged abortion, who profess love and caring through pandering to the poor and ethnically diverse, who are the party of Bill Clinton, who lied to the grand jury and didn't serve a day in jail -- that party is upset that "Scooter" wasn't burned at the stake.

Liberal policies have damaged the family and almost destroyed Black families as promiscuous women mate with irresponsible men, knowing that the state will support the children their fathers abandon. And the Democratic Party, which is now in power, is more concerned that one minor functionary is able to avoid imprisonment, and imply that it is only because he is a Republican, and his release may somehow negatively impact their re-election prospects.
