The trope that conservatives seeking a pardon for Libby are hypocritical (Chris Wallace raised it with Brit Hume this morning, and Brit essentially conceded the point) deserves further consideration.

Bill Clinton lied to a grand jury. As a result, he did not lose his job, did not go to jail and soon thereafter became a multi-millionaire, lionized and celebrated in his party and around the world.

If that’s the fate in store for Libby, by all means, bring it on.

One more point: Valerie Plame is getting $2.5 million for “her story.” How much did New York publishers and Hollywood producers pay for the stories of Paula Jones and Juanita Broaddrick?
