Bush pardons Libby, panders to the hard right...

Quote from Mvic:
Stupid move, he should have pardoned him. He is going to take huge heat anyway might as well take the heat for the pardon instead of just commuting the prison term.
He wants the appeals process to run its course before he issues the pardon, but he doesn't want one of his boys to sit in jail while he awaits the outcome. I can see why he did it.
It doesn't bother you that Sandy Berger steals documents from the national archives for a cover up for the clintons and 9/11 but Scooter Libby the obvious fall guy gets pardoned and you have a problem with it.
Good lord.
Good lord.

Another white collar republican walks without punishment...the klannish sure are loyal to their own.

Didn't take long for the red herring stuff to start.
Try real hard to understand, anything Clinton did or did not do has no bearing on whether or not what Bush did was correct...
I know it is difficult for the klannish to reason properly, but if you actually think about it, you will maybe understand your logical and reasoning flaws...
The attempt to minimize Bush's wrongs by contrast to Clinton's actions, is reminiscent of a 5 year old when caught doing something wrong...points at his older brother and says "Well, he got away with it."
Sounds like you didn't read my post very closely. Here is what I said once again:
"Perhaps you could discuss how this differs from the 140 pardons Clinton gave on January 20, 2001." I then posted a link.
Notice that no where in my words did I make a statement regarding whether Bush was right or wrong, or Clinton was right or wrong. I simply asked if "you could discuss. From there I was called a "klannish" (whatever that may be), and told I had "logical and reasoning flaws".
Perhaps then you could ENLIGHTEN us as to why a President would be empowered with the right to pardon, and then when he exercises it, whether it be 140 times or once, he is "wrong".
Perhaps you could further enlighten us as to why the Congress saw fit to give that particular right to a President.
And finally, perhaps you could discuss both questions without the need to personally attack me for anything unrelated to the question at hand.

The party of law and order, of justice and the American way watches a man convicted in a court of law by his peers, and then his bosses buddy commutes his sentence so he doesn't see jail time.
This has nothing to do with Sandy Berger, are you klowns and klannish even capable of staying on point?
