Things don't look good for our hero, Scooter. And I guess the heat is up on President Cheney now.

Court Rejects Request to Delay Libby’s Sentence
Filed at 1:48 p.m. ET

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Former White House aide I. Lewis ''Scooter'' Libby cannot delay his 2 1/2-year prison term in the CIA leak case, a federal appeals court unanimously ruled Monday.

The decision is a dramatic setback for Libby, who likely will have to surrender to prison in weeks. The ruling puts pressure on President Bush, who has been sidestepping calls by Libby's allies to pardon the former chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney.

Libby was convicted in March of lying and obstructing the investigation into the 2003 leak of CIA operative Valerie Plame's identity. He is the highest-ranking White House official ordered to prison since the Iran-Contra affair.

Libby believed he had a good chance of overturning the conviction on appeal and asked the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit to put the sentence on hold. In a two-sentence ruling, the court refused.

My question is," @Why has his sentence been delayed at all??? after all, he has had plenty of time to get his affairs in order. and such delays are not normally afforded to criminals. he should be treated no differently.

Because DC Republicans, like Mary Matalin, who had their hands in getting the Iraqi war started, have plenty of time to bleed for Scooter Libby, and they bleed money. They don't have time to bleed for the kids over in Walter Reed, who they sentenced to a lifetime with no legs, no arms, no faces, or no minds.

So, with their "bleeding hearts" they have collected many millions of dollars all of which is being used to pay attorneys to delay his entry into prison through appeals. And your average criminal doesn't have that kind of money.

I "KNEW" How, what I asked is "WHY" HEH HEH
 
This admin wouldn't know accountability if it flew a plane into them.

Remember the cornerstone of Bush's stump speech in 2000 - putting his hand on the Bible & taking a mock oath of office, and promising to restore ethics to the White House after the scourge of lying about oral sex?
 
Apparently the difference between commuting his sentence and issuing a pardon, is that the felony conviction stands and he has to pay a fine.

What he does not have to do, is admit guilt and express remorse, which would be part of a pardon.

They always have a trick to pull out of their asses don't they?

Whoops. I missed that rule. I'm suprised Damo hasn't banned me yet.
 
Let's all just let it go. I can't believe this has gone as far as it has. It's an online moniker that I long ago dubbed her. I liked it and kept it going until it became regular. Who cares if people curse occasionally on this site, it is not geared toward children?

As for the Oral Sex joke it was simply a play on the last line of the quoted post where she made that remark. Again not as big a deal as people seem to be making it.

Let's get to talking about the politics of the day. Now that is what this site is geared towards.

What happened, did you forget to put on your underwear today and you have a wedgie?

I didn't make a big deal out of it. The day I can't handle AHZ and his one and half inch wee wee, is long off. I'll have retired from message boards by then.
