Young family, huh.....(From today's Froomkin column)

"Today's News

Matt Apuzzo writes for the Associated Press about Libby's decision to drop his appeal.

"Libby, the former chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney, was convicted of perjury and obstruction but President Bush commuted his 30-month prison sentence in July. Had Libby won a new trial, that commutation would be meaningless and Libby would again face potential prison time. . . .

"The decision to withdraw his appeal means Libby will remain a convicted felon. President Bush could wipe away the conviction with a full pardon, something he has refused to rule out. Wells said Monday that he has not spoken to the White House about a pardon and does not know what Bush will do."

From the statement from Libby's lawyer, Theodore Wells: "We remain firmly convinced of Mr. Libby's innocence. However, the realities were, that after five years of government service by Mr. Libby and several years of defending against this case, the burden on Mr. Libby and his young family of continuing to pursue his complete vindication are too great to ask them to bear.

"Mr. Libby has made the decision to discontinue his appeal in recognition that success on the appeal would lead only to a retrial, a process that would last even beyond the two years of supervised release, cost millions of dollars more than the fine he has already paid, and entail many more hundreds of hours preparing for an all-consuming appeal and retrial."

A lot of us have "young families," Scooty, but nearly all of us aren't treasonous motherfuckers who helped out a CIA operative, who spent her professional career trying to keep nuclear weapons from proliferating, and protecting a shitstain of a (I apologize in advance) cocksucking Vice-president who has done more to harm this country in the last seven years than anyone in the previous 224 (including the original Dick-head, Nixon).

You can go straight to hell and have a T-ball bat shoved up your ass, fuckface.
