We'll always have Paris

Liberal bloggers are all a twitter with affected outrage over the commutation of Scooter Libby's two-year prison sentence for working for a-holes.
But all the rants against Bush and Cheney and Republicans and Christians and drunkards and Paris Hiltonses ignore the true victim in this whole sordid affair: L. Scooter Libby himself.

Put yourself in Scooter's shoes for a moment. He has been robbed of his street cred. He was all set to get that teardrop tattoo near his eye to prove to his peeps that he did hard time. Now Bush selfishly commutes his sentence, stealing away Libby glory.

I mean, how would you like to go through the rest of your life knowing that you're not even as tough as Paris Hilton?

  1. "not even as tough as Paris Hilton?" Love it! Yes, we went crazy last night when Heather at General Blather told us.

  2. Maybe Scooter should get the tear drop tattoo, but with an asterix next to it. Indicating that he was convicted, but didn't actually do his time.

    Meaning you can go ahead and push his stool in, if you know what I mean.

    Wouldn't want him to miss out on any frat boy experiences.
