Pardoning Scooter Libby?

Very interesting article... thanks.
Of course John Dean is the Conservative Turncoat. So his word means nothing with many older conservatives.

Frankly, I am not only stunned that Fred Thompson has taken up the "Free Scooter" campaign, but by the crude and thoughtless tactics he has employed. He has either lied or could not be troubled to inform himself of the facts before he attacked Special Counsel Fitzgerald.

This does not stun me. This is Thompson's attempt to sure up the staunch conservative base that will always vote Republican. When a guy goes on TV to do a series, he might be thought of as a leftist from Hollywood immediately. To me it seems like Thompson has to prove how conservative he is first, just to get the Republican nomination.
Then if he happens to get the nomination, he will go for the middle ground. My take.
