Surprising no one, Bush has (effectively) pardoned Libby. There were two schools of thought on this. One, that Bush doesn't really care about anyone else, aside from how useful they can be to him, and so would not pardon Libby. The other, that Bush cares nothing for the law but prizes loyalty, and would not let Scooter go to jail.
Due to the cover given Bush for this action by the Beltway media, increasingly I was assuming he would pardon, but obviously they were going to wait until it looked like he would actually see the inside of a cell.
Lucky for Bush we are coming up on a holiday week, but I think we can assume that this will get some press coverage, regardless.
I believe Bush campaigned on restoring honor and dignity to the White House, but he has in fact accomplished something far more remarkable.
He has made Paris Hilton look good.
