Libby: Guilty Til '09

Former White House aide I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby was convicted Tuesday of obstruction, perjury and lying to the FBI in an investigation into the leak of a CIA operative's identity.

Libby, the former chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney, was accused of lying and obstructing the investigation into the 2003 leak of CIA operative Valerie Plame's identity to reporters.

He was acquitted of one count of lying to the FBI.

As Nixon said to Ford, "Pardon Me".

However, I don't expect that to happen until January 2009. The appeals process will keep Scooter quiet, and continue to give the corporate media an excuse to continue to focus on the unimportant.
