Guiliani Approves of Bush's Action on Libby

Rudy Guiliani agrees that Bush was right to let Libby off jail. Hmmm...and I thought that as a "tough" prosecutor he might disagree this time. But he did not. Guiliani has been flip-floping on issues faster than he has been changing his dressing code.

Update: I just got a letter from Howard Dean's office about the issue. Here is what he says about Rudy:
[Rudy Giuliani, who brags of being tough on crime, prosecuted perjury cases as a lawyer and wanted mandatory sentences on people who commit perjury. But yesterday he went out of his way to support Scooter Libby, saying "I believe the decision was correct." In an interview with the Wall Street Journal editorial board he offered what they said "sounds an awful lot like an argument for a pardon," and said "I think the option the president really has is commutation."]

Well said. The whole thing has been a travesty of a justice. But Guiliani likes it and approves it.
