If Libby is going to prison during his appeal, and the White House "will continue not to intervene in the judicial process," that would seem to mean that Scooter will not be pardoned before he goes into prison.

Did you see Buchanan take apart Ron Christie on Hardball on the Libby pardon. Buchanan says to him at the end "The only reason you have given to me for why Libby shouldn't go to jail is because he's Cheney's guy and that's just not good enough. What about the rule of law?"
Good stuff.

Reality, no unfortunately, I didn't catch it today, that's pretty good.
And, Christie deserves to go down a couple notches.
EPM, I don't know. The administration gave no sign of interference today. That doesn't mean they won't, but the early words were not encouraging.
(And the fact that his wife broke out crying seems to say that the Libby household doesn't view a pardon as a done deal.)
