Scooter Libby Disbarred

his disbarment should be replaced with iron bars around his person.

How much $$$ from the missing billions in Iraq are in Scooters off shore account all because of him performing his "duty" to his commander in chief?

The repukes have ruined this country....and it's sad.....

"Former top White House aide I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby was banned Thursday from practicing law in the nation's capital following his perjury conviction in the case of a CIA operative's leaked identity."

I doubt that this action will seriously effect Libby's ability to make money and continue is business. He's being taken care of by his cronies ... that will continue!

I saw a few posts that made the point that Libby's disbarment really means nothing. Hours before Bush leaves office, he will pardon Libby, thus enabling him to regain his right to practice law. That's a given. If you recall during the trial, Libby showed no concern, no emotion (as he is doing now) when it was revealed that his minion Cheney would not be testifying. His curious lack of concern indicated that he knew that his buddy Bush would be commuting, and eventually pardoning, him for his crime. Therefore, the trial and all of the aftermath are simply inconvenient formalities that these criminals must deal with before they can put it all behind them and carry on with their sordid lives, as though they had never done anything wrong.

When all is said and done, if one judges their characters by what their eventual "doctored up" records will indicate, then one might conclude that they must be outstanding citizens. If we all had friends in high places who could clean our own records up and erase past indiscretions and criminal behavior, we'd all appear as though we were model citizens. What a joke.

Good to hear this news. Are there proceedings against Alberto Gonzalez and all his cronies in the Justice Department, That will be the real test.

Just 304 days until Libby is pardoned for his bit-part in pretending there were WMD's in Iraq.

Every little bit of Punitive Action taken against the NeoCons helps the healing process for US.

This may seem of little comfort, but it's something.

I hope that we live to see Criminal Indictments handed down against Cheney, Rove, Rumsfeld, Bush, et al.

I'm certain none of them will ever spend a day in jail, but just the acknowledgment of their criminal actions will go a long way in the hearts and minds of the People.

Another Bush casualty -- what is it that a full 1/3 of the country cannot see? Everything he touches turns to ruin and, yet, the arrogance that remains in his victim is just amazing -- the arrogance of the GOP to put up "John McCain More of the Same" in the wake of leaving our country in shambles in unfathomable!

Can you find one person in the Bush/Cheney administration that ever left in a better position than they were when they entered? Bloomberg hit the nail on the head when they described working in the Bush administration as being the ultimate resume destroyer.

Scooter Libby had no honor to begin with

Disbarred seems a bit harsh when Cheney and GWB got nothing-

Bush will invent an executive "rebar option."

In jail he would definately be a butt boy. Out of jail he is definately a butt boy.

Why did they suddenly start "approving" all responses here? I thought I had actually found a discussion where you didn't have to wait hours for your response to appear and now they're saying that have to "approve" all the responses.
