This week brought us a round of New Math, Bush administration style: 43 + 2 = 0 4 28301-016 (President 43, plus the most powerful No. 2 in history, equals 0 jail time for Scooter Libby, Prisoner 28301-016). Other numbers of note: the less-than-72 hours it took Libby to pay his $250,000 fine. It goes without saying that Bush's imperial chutzpah struck a nerve with our bloggers. Don't miss the Libby commutation takes of Bob Cesca, Jane Smiley, Matt Cooper, Lanny Davis, Alan Dershowitz, Hilary Rosen, Jeralyn Merritt, Craig Crawford, Swopa, Ari Melber, Bob Geiger, Tim Dickinson, Taylor Marsh, Thomas de Zengotita, Paul Abrams, Byron Williams, Jeff Feldman, Rachel Sklar, and Marty Kaplan. Bush turned 61 this week, but he was the one handing out the big gift.
