According to UPI, Dick Cheney's former right hand man, Scooter Libby, has lost his bid to avoid jail pending the outcome of an appeal against his convictions for perjury and obstruction.
The judge ruled Libby must begin serving his 2-1/2 year sentence without delay but gave the defence team 10-days in which to appeal his decision.
The decision may increase pressure on President Bus to pardon the former White House aide. Libby's lawyers had hoped that could have been put off until nearer the end of Bush's final term in office.

With George and Steve and the helm we'll just speed that process along very nicely, won't we?
