Bush commutes Libby sentence

President Bush has commuted the sentence of Scooter Libby on exempting him from a 2 1/2-year prison term. He has in place a $250,000 fine and two years probation.

Regardless of the merits, or otherwise, of an individual case, don't think it is a good look to grant clemency to your former aides, and especially to do before they have served even part of their sentence.

Mind you at 29% in the , one can't drop much further I suppose.
