How Long Until Dubya Commutes Her Sentence?

Marion Jones gets six months for lying to federal investigators. Don't worry, the President was pretty clear that that sort of crime doesn't warrant prison time, since, you know, people finding out you committed a crime is punishment enough:
My decision to commute his prison sentence leaves in place a harsh punishment for Mr. Libby. The reputation he gained through his years of public service and professional work in the legal community is forever damaged. His wife and young children have also suffered immensely. He will remain on probation. The significant fines imposed by the judge will remain in effect. The consequences of his felony conviction on his former life as a lawyer, public servant, and private citizen will be long-lasting.
Don't worry, Marion. I'm sure the White House will be calling you up real soon.
