I figured he'd pardon Scooter Libby sometime between the 2008 election and the inauguration of the winner in that contest. But that the rat-bastard commutes Scooter Libby's sentence before he even begins serving just boggles the mind.Bush:
I respect the jury’s verdict. But I have concluded that the prison sentence given to Mr. Libby is excessive.Respect, my ass. The guy doesn't know the meaning of the word. He made this move for one reason and one reason only...
His approval numbers are in the shitter and he needed to shore up his conservative-fascist base within the Republican Party...the same Republican Party that impeached President Clinton on the same charges for a sexual indiscretion. In the Libby case, the defendant - at the direction of the President and Vice-President - put our nation's security at risk for partisan ends.
If you listen very closely tonight, you'll hear Barry Goldwater, Ronald Reagan, and Gerald Ford rolling over in their graves.
