Libby sneezes, but gets no pardon

WASHINGTON -- I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby had a sneezing fit right in front of President Bush this afternoon, but received no pardon from the president, White House sources say.

Libby stopped by the White House for a brief reception with President Bush, who wanted to thank him for "taking one for the team." Once inside the Oval Office, Libby was overcome by a fit of five or six sneezes, witnesses say.

"He was sprayin' junk everywhere," said one eyewitness.

Finished sneezing, Libby automatically said, "Pardon me," as he reached for a handkerchief. A moment of uncomfortable silence befell the room before Vice President Dick Cheney shuffled his feet on the carpet, coughed, said, "Well, thanks for comin', Scooter!" and ushered his former chief of staff out of the room.
