Looks like Libby will do more than 23 days

Libby sentenced to 2 1/2 years in prisons

Former White House aide I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby was sentenced to 2 1/2 years in prison Tuesday for lying and obstructing the CIA leak investigation.

Libby, the former chief of staff to Vice President
Dick Cheney, stood calmly before a packed courtroom as a federal judge said the evidence overwhelmingly proved his guilt and left the courthouse without commenting.

“People who occupy these types of positions, where they have the welfare and security of nation in their hands, have a special obligation to not do anything that might create a problem,” U.S. District Judge Reggie B. Walton said.

    Usually at a sentencing hearing the defendant is given a chance to speak. Even the lowliest of criminals will often apologize for their crimes and express regret for the mistakes they have made.

    Not Scooter!
