Will Bush pardon Scooter Libby?

Talking Points Memo has a post about how Joe DiGenova is floating a trial balloon by stating that he thinks Bush will pardon Scooter Libby. As Josh at Talking Points Memo has pointed out, this is being done to put the idea in the public consciousness so when the pardon actually does happen it won't be such a big deal. I really hope Bush does pardon Libby, it will only be another mark on his already atrocious record. If the Democrats were smart they'd go on all of the news shows and say that if Bush had any integrity, he'd promise not to pardon Libby either before a trial starts or after the trial if Libby is convicted. They should force Bush to go on the record as to whether or not he's going to pardon Libby.
