Bush Pardons 29, But Not Libby

President Bush issued 29 pardons today, but I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby wasn’t among them.

Among those pardoned were convicted thieves, drug dealers and a moonshiner, the Associated Press reports. Since taking office, Bush has issued 142 pardons and commuted five sentences.

In July, Bush commuted Libby’s 30-month sentence for lying and obstructing an investigation into the leaked identity of CIA officer Valerie Plame. Libby recently dropped his appeal because he can no longer afford it.
