Alternative ways in which Scooter Libby will be punished for his crimes

--Only a low-end gift basket from Harry & David
--A Cookie Puss, slightly melted
--$25 gift certificate from Target

Given that Cookie Puss comes from another planet, I must assume he's more highly evolved. (And yes, I welcome our new Cookie Puss overlords.)

You left out:

- Get a Presidential Medal of Freedom just like that 'slam dunk' guy

- Have President Bush go on the national news and tell you "You're doing a heck of a job, Scooter!"

- Get invited on a hunting trip with Cheney
