Scooter on Probation

I see, via Brian Doherty over at Reason, that Scooter Libby is still going to have to pay a fine, and he’ll also be on probation. Now there‘s a job — Scooter Libby’s probation officer. I suppose Scooter will have to stay away from the CIA, and he certainly won’t be allowed near newspaper reporters: and, of course, he’ll not be allowed to consort with his criminal friends, which means no going back to his job at the Office of the Vice President. Maybe Bush can get him a sinecure at the Bureau of Cashiered Hatchet-men.
