The case has finally come to a close with a 2 1/2 sentence... I don't think so. I'm sure his lawyers will find a way to stall long enough until Bush starts handing out Presidential pardons at the end of his term.

In summary, the conversation revolves around the potential outcome of a case and the speculation of whether or not the defendant will serve time in prison. The link shared is a reference to a previous case involving Nixon's associates. The conversation ends with a question about identifying a character from "Through the Looking Glass".

Even if Libby ends up in prison, I doubt that he will be doing hard time.
The link below shows the installation where a couple of Nixon's cronies spent a few years. The tall fence behind the building surrounds the tennis courts.
