Bush Saves Scooter Libby from Having to Toss the Salad

in a not so surprising move today, President george jr. ensured that scooter libby would never spend a single day in jail for his crimes. i and many others saw this coming of course (see my post here). but, damn, i thought Bushy would wait until he was almost out of office to pull this little trick. i guess i should just be happy that this move confirms W’s status as lame duck president! it is of course, the president’s prerogative to pardon or commute criminal sentences all he wants, but this action seems rather egregious. fuck, even nixon did not have the balls to pardon the guys involved in watergate did he?

at least we all know that W is a loyal guy who protects all his friends to the end. that means that if you get involved with the Bush family you can count on them to bail you out of the mess they got you in. i mean, come on, libby was convicted of perpetrating the dirty work of dick cheney and W, but do they bother to step in and do the right thing, i.e. admit their own culpability and take their hard knocks? hell no they don’t.

plan on going down with the fucking ship if you ever deal with these guys.
