Tom DeLay Column: Scooter Libby is no Bill Clinton

Excerpt:
"Libby has no such leverage over the system, and even so, few serious-minded people in the country seem to think he shouldn't be pardoned. The jurors in the case, even the ones who dislike President Bush and wanted higher-ranking officials brought to justice, have gone on record supporting the pardon idea. Libby is a victim of an out-of-control prosecutor -- something I know a little bit about -- and a politically hostile judicial system. It is almost impossible for a high-ranking conservative to get a fair trial in Washington, D.C. The media was howling for Libby's head for months, while leaving unfettered every hair on the head of Richard Armitage, the State Department official who actually outed Valerie Plame. Luckily for Armitage, he was against the war, a get-out-of-jail-free card for anyone associated with this idiotic scandal."
