Libby did not receive a pardon, but he did have his 30 month jail sentence commuted by President Bush. He remains guilty of the felonies of perjury, obstruction of justice, and making false statements in the federal investigation of the outing of covert CIA agent Valerie Plame Wilson.

In their bizarre defense of Bush's lie to Congress in the State of the Union address, conservatives note that it was only 16 words. Funny, the previous inhabitant of the Oval Office was impeached for just 9 words: "I did not have sexual relations with that woman."

No one in their right mind would believe that the last year of the Reign of Bush would be any less tendentious than previous years. There are, for example, the latest flurry of presidential signing statements and the lame duck’s insistence that telecoms be granted retroactive immunity for embracing his initiatives to spy on their customers.
