Libby Drops Appeal

Convicted liar Scooter Libby is dropping his appeal. Why? Here's what his attorney says:

"We remain firmly convinced of Mr. Libby's innocence," attorney Theodore Wells said. "However, the realities were, that after five years of government service by Mr. Libby and several years of defending against this case, the burden on Mr. Libby and his young family of continuing to pursue his complete vindication are too great to ask them to bear."

Ah huh.

And I have a bridge that I'd like to sell ya.

The fix is in. Pardon here we come!

Update: If you'll remember, the reason given by Bush that he won't comment on Libby is due to a "pending appeal". Well, given that, I'm positive that now Bush will hold a press conference and fully discuss the Plame outing.
