Scooter Libby, Vice President Dick Cheney's former chief of staff, has been sentenced to 30 months in prison (plus a hefty fine) for lying to a grand jury. According to Professor Joe Cooper, Mr. Libby has more in common with rapper Lil' Kim than you might think... His students are inmates at the Webster Correctional Institution in Connecticut, and when asked to opine on an appropriate sentence for the former chief, they had a variety of provocative answers. One took a hard line, writing that Mr. Libby's crime was a lot like the Queen Bee's perjury, only worse, and he should be punished accordingly. But most of them saw Libby as a guy who took one for the team, and thought he may even be worthy of pardon. Take heart, Scooter — you may have more friends in the slammer than you thought!

This whole thing as it evolves reminds me of Bin Laden. We've been distracted again. The media is so focused on the fact that Libby lied, we've lost sight in our quest to find out who really made the leak and how high it goes in this administration. It appears that once we learn whether Libby is pardoned, or not, which seems to be what the media has chosen to focus on, the whole leak situation will be resolved. Are we really this easily manipulated?
