Sounds like the GOP pundits are starting their campaign to have Bush pardon Scooter Libby. Talking Points Memo examines the evidence and makes a prediction:
Make no mistake, this is a trial balloon, an effort to test the waters and prepare the public for Libby's eventual pardon. And you should expect that the president will pardon Libby, perhaps as soon as six months from now, because signals of Libby's impending pardon will raise little concern or controversy in Washington or among name pundits.The pundit class does rally around their D.C. pals.
Yet, the pundit class -- along with the traditional reporters -- ignore the blatant hypocrisy of the GOP attacking the Dems. on national security when top White House officials leaked the name of an undercover CIA agent for purely political reasons.
