Pardon me!
Welp, its the talk of the town, all the wrongdoers and miscreants that Bush is busily pardoning, almost as an afterthought, on his way out. His choices are baffling to say the least: A man convicted of wrongfully using an illegal pesticide that killed Bald and Golden eagles, another man who violated the law by bringing an environmentally protected animal into the US, the daughter of a Doctor who was found to be committing insurance fraud (she apparently aided and abetted and withheld evidence), a military officer convicted of selling drugs, a man who unlawfully obtained foodstamps…Is it just me or is anyone else scratching their head over these choices?
And then you have all the folks who were convicted of creative accounting, of bilking the taxpayers of the state of CA during the last years of Gray Davis, the friendly folks at Enron, and other “take the $$ and run” companies who are no doubt hastily putting forth their petitions for pardon. The former Governor of Lousiana and a representative from CA are already clamoring for shorter sentences, and I have no doubt Bush will pardon them. He’s gleefully ignored his oath of office, his duty to this country, his obligation to the rest of the world, and every other obligation the office of President represents.
The sad fact is, his pardons are immutable. Once given they cannot be undone. That means, anyone who might have been brought up on charges stemming from conduct under Bush’s watch will get a free pass. Cheney, Rumsfeld, Gonzalez, Libby, and Rove come to mind right off the bat. Anyone who’s ever done the bidding of this EVIL administration….yep, get out of jail free. The unmitigated GALL of this man, this administration, is just head shakingly astounding.
How I WISH the foot-dragging Dem Congress would forestall any further attempts by Bush and Co to circumvent justice and IMMEDIATELY empanel a Grand Jury or whatever to investigate war crimes BEFORE Bush pardons any more wrongdoers. I swear, I dont know who I am madder at: Bush and his obvious slimy antics or the Dems for not growing a backbone and STOPPING him from doing any more harm…..
*must grit teeth and hold on until January 20th*
Its ALL Blarney!! 
The Supreme Court CANNOT DUCK Obama’s Birth Certificate Constitutional Crisis (albeit the media blackout on the issue). The messiah will NOT become President! This 90-minute blogradio program explains why:
