Fitzgerald: Contrary to Bush's Claim, Libby's Sentence Was Not Excessive

Excerpted here, at Daily Kos.

Perhaps what the statement from the White House meant was that Libby's sentence was excessive for one of their toadies. For, ya know, a regular prole it would have been o.k. But as we know, the normal rules don't apply to these folks.

On some of the righty blogs much of the chatter goes roughly like this: this decision by W-The-President is Good and Wise because Clinton was evil and remember Sandy Berger. Brilliant stuff really. Cutting-edge jurisprudence.
