Yell at me if you must, but I’m secretly hoping that George W. Bush pardons the Scootinator now that Club Fed is nipping at his heels.  It isn’t that Libby doesn’t deserve to do some time.  He does.  But I’ll trade that smidgen of justice lost, for the frame a pardon will place around Bush’s head for all time. 

That Bush holds the rule of law in contempt is beyond question.  It’s no stretch to suggest that of all the damage this administration has done to the United States, the unraveling of Executive Department respect for law may be the most important.  Yet, not everyone sees it as a big deal.  And the reason, I think, is that so many of the issues involved (warrantless searches, politicization of the Justice Department, presidential signing statements) are legally complex.

What’s needed is a simple metaphor for Bush’s lawlessness: something people who are usually apathetic about political and legal issues can clearly see.

A Libby pardon does that.  And my instincts tell me it could very well start an avalanche of public anger, perhaps starting slowly, but then building both in speed and strength until it buries what little is left of the administration’s credibility, causing allies to head for the hills, and ending Bush’s ability to continue stonewalling the various ongoing investigations.

Go ahead, George, make my day.

Update: Be careful what you wish for.  I guess we’ll see if I was right.
