Come on:
Any president would have done this if they were put in the same situation, regardless of political party affiliation.
You're right, any president would do that in the same situation, because to get to that same situation s/he would already have to be corrupt enough to knowingly allow (or in the Veep's case, order) a subordinate to commit a cowardly and traitorous act like outing a CIA agent for petty political reasons, and then have him mock the justice system by refusing to answer pertinent questions on the case, despite the fact that the president himself said that anyone who was involved with the leaking of Valerie Plame's name would be fired.
He sure has a funny way of holding people accountable.
As to your man Rudy, he's showing some real spine on this issue:
“After evaluating the facts, the president came to a reasonable decision and I believe the decision was correct.” — former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani.
Because obviously, when a sentence is excessive, the correct thing to do is eliminate the sentence altogether, rather than reduce it.
