I’m sure you know by now that Scooter won’t be going to jail.
Thanks to Barry at Liberally Lean for posting this quote from when Bu$hie McFuckturd was Governor.
“When I was sworn in as the governor of Texas I took an oath of office to uphold the laws of our state, including the death penalty. My responsibility is to ensure our laws are enforced fairly and evenly without preference or special treatment . . . . She was convicted and sentenced by a jury of her peers. The role of the state is to enforce our laws and to make sure all individuals are treated fairly under those laws.”

From George Washington to George W. Bush presidents have exercised their Constitutional Authority of pardoning whomever THEY bloody well please. As indicated in the link listing only the “notable pardons” there have been a trainload of presidential clemency actions.
Since George H. W. Bush, it has become COMMON practice for a president to grant clemency to members of their administration/friends who were attacked for political purposes.
Libby is an ABSOLUTE FOOL for having not JUSTIFIABLY used the life/career saving line “I do not remember.” rather than GUESS at what he “remembered.” I would like to BELIEVE that had Libby INTENTIONALLY made false statements he would have done a BETTER job. People BASHED Alberto Gonzales for having a faulty memory but they did NOT attempt to send his booty to the big house for “inaccurately remembering.”
Karla Faye Tucker participated in an action that resulted in the DEATH of an INNOCENT person. Libby participated in an activity that MAY have resulted in the death of an innocent person. Clinton did NOT go to prison for having KNOWINGLY made false statements while under oath and it would be UNFAIR for Libby to spend time in prison for having a “faulty memory.”
Partisanism in ANY situation eliminates MOST people’s ability to remain OBJECTIVE.
Incidentally, I still think POLITICIANS SUCK.

In essence, he (Bu$h) rewarded Libby for protecting Cheney’s ass.
The point about Karla Faye Tucker is that Bu$h made such an issue of keeping with the process and upholding the jury’s decision until it was someone to whom he owed a favor. There is no getting around that hypocrisy.
Politicians do, indeed, suck! I’m sick of them all. HELL, the nut jobs on LL always throw Clinton at me. I think that hilarious because he did many things that I abhor. I don’t like Hillary either.
I do know some ethical people who are involved in politics. However, our system corrupts people who have good intentions because, among other reasons, they have to constantly fund raise and prepare for their next election. It’s insane.
