President Jo Jo The Idiot Boy, while in deep discussions with Vladimir Putin at the Cradle Of Idiocy in Kennebunkport, Maine, took time out to commute the sentence of Irving Lewis ‘Scooter" Libby just a few minutes ago.
Irving, if you remember, was looking at a couple of years federal time for being a lying sack of waste products, while working for Shotgun Dick Cheney. Shotgun Dick and Kousin Karl knew that if Irv went to the Crowbar Hotel, the likelihood of him telling the whole truth when he got out, was very high, so they distracted President Jo Jo The Idiot Boy with the shiny side of a DVD and handed him a last-minute press release, commuting Scooter’s sentence.
Meanwhile, over at the Kennebunkport guest house, Vladimir Putin was cooling his heels, doing Sudokus with the Secret Service, waiting for the Jo Jo The Idiot Boy to come back from the meeting.
Their conversations picked up where they left off, Putin talking about the downside of moving any Patriot Missile installations to Europe, while Dubya was daydreaming out loud about the Spice Girls getting back together and its impact on the Twins.
Putin left a few second later, saying he had an urgent appointment and he’d be back in a while. Putin’s comment, "возьмите дерьмо" or "зажмите регистрацию" depending on how you interpret it, could mean closer ties in the lumber and building materials sectors, or, Putin was going to "pinch a log".
Meanwhile the conventional media is in a flat spin. The White House has now officially jumped the shark and the media feel duty-bound to nail someone to the floor for the most flagrant abuse of Presidential Power since Gerald Ford gave a Kiss and a Hug to Richard Nixon after Watergate.
The political subtlety of the act of commuting Irving Libby’s sentence is on par with a Tasering and baton beating of The Constitution. Which means it is beyond the mental ability of Jo Jo The Idiot Boy and can only be dumped on the desk of Cheney and Rove as the parties responsible.
Vladimir Putin meanwhile, after taking the sports section of Pravda with him on his mission, returned to a darkened meeting room. Jo Jo had left the building.
