Libby pardoned

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Every time Bush does something stupid, you talk Clinton.  Good for you.

Commuting Libby's sentence is a relative non-issue amongst the many stupid somethings done under Bush's watch.  The only reason I find to rebut at all is that leftist Bush haters find any excuse to make something out of nothing.

There are two reasons you "rebut."  1.) you post way too much  and 2.) you can't stand to let even an accurate criticism of your guy pass without lobbing a shot at the other side. 

you suck.  post less.

I think the Clinton comment came after Mrs. Clinton made the comment and he brought up how she is a hypocrite. but bash on baby, bash on.

I guess I simply don't understand why the blinders are automatically turned on when a douche bag politician slightly more aligned with your own personal beliefs does something stupid/unethical, but when the same type of thing is done by another douche bag politician with which you have even less in common, it's an outrage.

Partisan politics suck, and most of you are part of the problem.

Truth.

Bill Clinton explains pardons/commutations better than I do.  Read and learn, leftists and rightist alike.

Really, what's the point of a fall guy, if he doesn't "fall".
Might as well just said outright, yeah, we outed her because her husband pissed us off.  farg you.  Executive privilege.

I Love This Post.

Take the self reflection to your therapist, hippy.

There's something about that post that is so fantastic and dodging-the-subject that it makes me say, "post of the day".

It's not really partisan politics, at least for me.  But I never had a doubt Clinton would abdicate.

because libby isnt the one that should fall...he didnt out plame...he lied on the stand about semi related matters

everyone is missing the point here...and that is that bush and cheyney are the ones who should be in jail...not some schlock named scooter

lolol...worst post ever?

like youre some bastion of the non partison movement...you are as scary as they come...plus believing in something that YOU dont agree with doesnt make someone partison...your money grubbing everyone in the world can go to hell except me attitude almost makes you the poster child for the conservative right...disagree with others if you choose but dont pull out some holier than thou card...it makes you look silly

[MadMarchHare]

We're not missing the point.  You must be pretty damned idealistic to think that Bush Cheney Rove would ever catch shtein for this.   Like every other administration, someone unimportant gets tossed under the bus.

What's unique in this case is that Libby got his "commutation" so quickly.  Usually they wait til the end of term and sneak it in.  Like Clinton did.  And FF is right, every president has pulled this shtein, just not typically in the middle of their term.

Ultimately, Bill's right.  Come Monday, most Americans won't even remember this happened.  Or care.

[ice grillin you]

again none of that matters...we all know what pardons are when they happen and that they have happened before...

bottom line is that it would have been a disgrace if libby spent one minute in jail for those devils in the white house

Fact: I'm always quick to acknowledge the zesty things that "mainstream" Republicans do, and I'm simply and regularly pointing out the fact that the leftist majority on this board is quite partisan when it comes to ethical issues with dickbag politicians.

I'm not sure if your hit-or-miss style is better or worse than the more predictable responses, but on this specific issue, it's certainly more correct than most.  Gold star, even if you hilariously and truly believe that you care about yourself any less than me.

Idealism is wonderful for people that hate realism and truth, though.  Don't shatter their dreams.


This is exactly what I've been trying to say.
