The wonderful satirist John Swift has joined the chorus of media and political figures telling outgoing lame duck George W. Bush just who should avoid jail time for their nefarious deeds. For some, it’s Gitmo torturers. For others, it’s dirty CEOs. For one Scooter Libby, it’s a guy who took the fall for leaking a CIA agent’s name.

Prosecutors may even try to score cheap political points by filing criminal charges against some of these bargain hunters, who have been called “savages” and “animals” by demagogues in the liberal media. Of course, my heart goes out to the family of this man who was just in the wrong place at the wrong time, but while it is unfortunate that someone got hurt, capitalism is not a dinner party.
