Well, Bush is such a hypocrite it makes me furious. Irving Lewis Libby’s 30 month sentence is, arguably, a lot less severe than a lethal injection. Yet Bush never seemed to “feel terrible” for those people whose death warrants he signed or their families.
I find it incredibly infuriating that Bush’s standards for justice are so obviously situational and personally motivated. Libby was convicted by a jury of his peers. So, for the record, Libby is GUILTY, GUILTY, FRIGGING GUILTY of lying to investigators and obstructing justice.
That makes Libby just as guilty of his crimes as Karla Faye Tucker was of her crimes. The difference is Karla Faye Tucker admitted her crimes and apologized. She became a born-again Christian – obviously not the same kind Bush became.
When Georgie starts feeling “terrible” about depriving Scooter’s family of Scooter for 30 months I just can’t be sympathetic. Mr. Culture of Life has been all too happy to kill people he feels have been found guilty by the system. And only a fool would believe the system is perfect.
So eat your own dog food bucko. Accept that the system found Lying Libby GUILTY and live with it. That’s more than Karla Faye Tucker can do.
