I expected that once Scooter Libby was sentenced to the slammer, there would be calls from the usual wingnuts for Bush to give him a pardon. But what is interesting is how even the mainstream Republicans now want Libby pardoned.

Hey Rudy Giuliani, as a former federal prosecutor, do you think it's OK to lie to investigators?

Or how about all those Republicans who voted to impeach Bill Clinton for lying? Maybe we should go back and replay those speeches about how important it is to tell the truth, and anyone who doesn't should pay the price.

Of course, asking for consistency from members of the the Hypocrite party is like asking an alligator to give up meat.
