I wondered how the Livingston Press & Argus might handle the news of George Bush's trampling on the American justice system yet again. Perhaps a round-up of reactions from Rep. Mike Rogers and Senators Carl Levin and Debbie Stabenow, or maybe some people on the street interviews. Maybe a special column by Muddy Borehouse about how bad things happen to good people who go into politics. Then an editorial blasting the decision. Okay, I was hallucinating when I thought that last one might happen.
Yet, I was still surprised when I went to the P&A website, clicked on the "Nation/World" category, and saw this:
"NATION/WORLD: Libby faces 30 months in prison
CNN is reporting that I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby was sentenced today to 30 months in prison for lying to investigators about the leak of a CIA operative’s identity.The former chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney was also fined $250,000. According to CNN, Libby plans to appeal the verdict."
They must be using a really low-speed internet over there.
