Scooter Libby Found Guilty of 4 out of 5 Charges (UPDATED)

Fortunately, my fears were not realized. Scooter Libby was found guilty of all but one of the charges against him. Add this to all the other shenanigans we are finally learning about and the corruption of the Bush Administration should be plain to see to even the most partisan Republican.
Count 1 (Obstruction): GUILTY Count 2 (Perjury): GUILTY Count 3 (False Statement): NOT GUILTY Count 4 (Perjury): GUILTY Count 5 (Perjury): GUILTY
UPDATE: I stand corrected about the obviousness of it all. The fair and balanced FOX News Network decided to present "the other side" of the story to their flock. God help us. They still have the largest ratings on Cable News. It's shrinking, but still the biggest. With all due respect - Fox News viewers are (expletive deleted). And after all this time I can only assume that they like it.

UPDATE II: The National Review is one of the longest running and most influential mouthpieces for the conservative movement. Of course, during the Clinton years, they called for his head (?) for lying about his indiscretion. So, what's their response to the Libby Verdict? HINT: It's easy to guess.

UPDATE III: I found the final paragraph of the National Review editorial especially interesting. It's the mandatory mantra that the "world is biased against conservatives" but the sentence that I bolded seems to be a complaint that the Bush team failed to make sure everyone got their story straight. Theses young repubs in the wing aren't just Bushies. They're also Nixonians! Nah, I'm just reading too much into it. Right?

There should have been no referral, no special counsel, no indictments, and no trial. The “CIA-leak case” has been a travesty. A good man has paid a very heavy price for the Left’s fevers, the media’s scandal-mongering, and President Bush’s failure to unify his own administration. Justice demands that Bush issue a pardon and lower the curtain on an embarrassing drama that shouldn't have lasted beyond its opening act.

UPDATE IV: OK, this is the last one. I just couldn't resist this report on Tuesdays Rush Limbaugh show. He started off, before the decision, booming with confidence about the outcome. "advisorjim" chronicles Rush's three hour gyrations explaining away the verdict and gives a helpful guide on what to expect from the dittoheads in your life tomorrow.

This is the logical diving board Rush jumped off of during the show today. It sort of sounded like a last cry of the truly desperate. Point 1 – This was a witch hunt. Point 2 – It wasn’t even a crime. Point 3 – And even if he did it, so what? Rush’s final point was to say that, even if Libby was guilty (and it seems that the last remaining shadow of doubt was removed at around 12:03 p.m. EST) what’s wrong with defending the administration from a bunch of liars.
