A black bourgeoisie perspective on U.S. politics
Scooter’s not going to jail after all.
WASHINGTON (CNN) — President Bush has commuted the prison term of former White House aide I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby, facing 30 months in prison after a federal court convicted him of perjury, obstruction of justice and lying to investigators.
Now, we all knew that Bush was going to pardon Libby. But, this is somewhat in the middle. No jail time, but he has to pay the fine – like that fine was a harship for Libby. This is no shock. The Constitution just doesn’t apply to him or his friends.
