It's something.

Not the frog-march of my dreams, maybe, but something…
WASHINGTON -- Former top White House aide I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby was banned Thursday from practicing law in the nation's capital following his perjury conviction in the case of a CIA operative's leaked identity.

If it was a partisan witch hunt of some kind…

…it was the intra-, not the inter-, party kind. Yglesias explains
The prosecutor, Patrick Fitzgerald, became a US Attorney when appointed to that post by George W. Bush on the advice of the Republican Senator from Illinois. The decision to name a special prosecutor was made by James Comey, who was appointed by George W. Bush to be a US Attorney and then appointed by George W. Bush to be Deputy Attorney General. Fitzgerald made the decision to prosecute. The jury undoubtedly had members of both political parties. The judge who offered the "especially harsh sentence" (actually: a sentence in line with federal sentencing guidelines) was appointed to his seat on the federal bench by . . . George W. Bush. The appellate court that unanimously rejected Libby's claims contains -- at last! -- a Democratic appointee. And also two Republicans.

Me too.

Joe Wilson:
"I don't give really a darn whether Scooter Libby goes to jail or not. What I care about is that the rule of law and the system of justice that has undergirded our democracy for 220 years is upheld. And that is what has been subverted by the president's actions today."
Hell, by the president's actions most anyday.

But yeah, me too, Mr. Ambassador.

Everybody seems…

…to have something to say about Busn and Scooter, but Senator Edwards sums up my sentiments pretty well…
"Only a president clinically incapable of understanding that mistakes have consequences could take the action he did today."
Totally outrageous and completely unsurprising. That's our spoiled idiot child in action.
