The Pedigree

Ranger will not comment on scumbag Libby, who works for scumbag Cheney, who works for scumbag GWB. All of whom work for the America taxpayers. Others have done an admirable job of coverage.

I will make only two observations on the sorry mess (seems all democracy is messy.) One is somewhat frivolous; the second, deadly serious.

[1] I think anyone named Scooter who lands in federal prison should have to wear a propeller beanie cap like one of these for the term of his incarceration:

[2] ''A White House spokeswoman told reporters that President Bush ''felt terrible for the family, especially for his wife and kids (Libby Gets 30-month Sentence.)''

So GWB felt Libby's pain. And when and if did GWB experience such concern for the families of our military personnel torn asunder by his Phony War on Terror? What about concern for the untold civilian casualties?

Even if Libby actually sees the inside of a garden variety country club federal prison, one must remember that there are thousands of U.S. military personnel that have served more time than that in combat, and they didn't have to lie to get their possible death sentences.

GWB should issue them a pardon before he does so for Libby.
