President Bush is willing to serve Scooter Libby's 2 year probation if the trial judge rules that the probation disappeared with the jail sentence the President vanished. If the fine also disappears, Vice President Cheney is standing by with his checkbook. Lying in the service of the Bush Administration has its advantages.

Walton ordered lawyers to weigh in with their arguments on the matter by Monday.
