Reminds me of.... what was his name? ... oh yeah. Bill Clinton

Except Libby can claim the moral high ground of the two.

Why is that? Because he's a republican and the standards are different for
them? His crimes were obviously worse than Clinton's at least by legal
standards. But why is it I'm not surprised that the first response to a
crooked republican being disbarred by other lawyers is to bring up Bill
Clinton, as if he had anything to do with it? Could it be because wingers
can't admit when one of theirs has done something wrong and they think
bringing up someone else's wrong doing exonerates them? It doesn't and that
kind of thing goes under the heading of "him too". Like that means Libby
isn't a scum bag criminal and doesn't deserve to be behind bars? Give it a
rest. Libby is a criminal and should have done jail time. He got off Scot
free because of Bush. Clinton was not found guilty of a crime, and that
doesn't pertain to Libby in any way.

Libby was the sacrificial goat thrown to the Democrats who would not let
up until they had blood, even though they could not find anyone guilty
of the alleged crime they went after. He took the hit for the team.

Clinton, on the other hand, was a solo act. He was disbarred from both
the Supreme Court and his home state of Arkansas for giving misleading
testimony in the Paula Jones sexual harassment case. He was also
impeached by the Senate, but you probably don't remember that.
