...through the folk bard's hometown of Hibbing, Minn., and chats with authors and musicians on such topics as "Einstein Disguised as Robin Hood: The Enigmatic Jewishness of Bob Dylan" and "Hotter Than a Crotch: Bob Dylan at the Borderline of Sleaze."

...begin with, it’s a painfully overdone film. Dialogue often consists of no more than characters losing limbs and yelling “MY ARM!” The script suffers from unnecessary sex scenes, giving the impression that the directors deliberately added certain content to appeal to the unwashed masses.

Such an appeal could be considered and ruled on in as little as six months, according to retired Federal Judge Stanley Sporkin, but could stretch into 2008 if the appeals briefs are extensive. And given the way Libby's lawyer Ted Wells tried to slow down...

...appeal fails, Libby's only recourse would be a presidential pardon. But will Bush do it? The Washington Post staff has already opened a pool to predict the pardon date. Democrats greeted the verdict with near-unanimous calls on Bush to forswear a pardon in the Libby case. To be sure, Bush has been more stingy about pardons than some recent Presidents. During his eight-year term, Bill Clinton issued 395 pardons and 61 commutations during his presidency. The first President Bush, by comparison, issued only 77 pardons during his four-year term.
