I agree that Cheney will be out of the spotlight for a while.
Now, two questions...
Appeal will be filed, and the "stall" will go on. Libby is looking at 4-5 years.
I don't think he'll flip. So, do you think Bush will grant a pardon?
If he does, do you think it will damage the Repubs in future elections?

Here's how it was reported in the Guardian (UK). Last paragraph is worth the read.

Sentencing in June..With appeals could go on forever...No reason for him to flip now, too late..Maybe this guilt of the Office of the VP plus the thrombosis of the VP himself will result in a resignation for health reasons, leaving Nancy "a heart-beat away"...Talk of a pardon has been on-going thru the trial, but i don't think so..Dumya Bush in deep schit now, no need to dig deeper...Watch Hardball tonite, he's on the warpath looking for more scalps.

You could be correct. Bush has "party loyalty", and a pardon will be problematic. Don't expect much from Tony Snow (job) at the next press conf.
either..."There's an ongoing legal action and I can't comment."
Matthews smells blood. Should be interesting.

Thanks for the tip about Olberman. Thought he was on vacation.
I'm guessing the Bushies would like to see Anna Nicole dug up so her story could dominate the "news" again for a while, at least until the heat dies down.
I saw that "Faux News" had about 50 stories about her, one on Libby.
Dubbya said something interesting this AM in his speech to the VFW...
He called Iraq a "shituation". No kidding.

Bigrun, I almost spit my coffee when he said that. It won't be in the transcript but if you can find a video...LOL!

Now, here's an article that poses some real questions. Look for the US press to avoid investigating Italy and making any connects.
