So, he did it. George W. just commuted Libby’s sentence, saying loud and clear, now, that he and his administration truly are, in their humble opinions, above the law. Way, way above!

Our president is saying to us: “Hey, between fishin’ with Daddy, and establishing democracy across the Middle East, we got no TIME for pesky rules! We are busy, important, high-minded guys! And gals! And we got a Way to deal with those who try to meddle in our bidness!”

((psst, psst: here’s the Way… )):

Problems in your administration? Get caught doing something illegal? No problem! A simple three-step procedure will take care of it!

First, designate a fall guy. (A little guy, but loyal, is the best choice.)

Second, stand back at a safe distance, while Fall Guy gets convicted.

Third, just as Fall Guy is heading into prison, pardon him (or commute his sentence). Neat and tidy! All taken care of! Let’s go fishing!
